Use the hostname command to verify that the host name returned is the expected name and
that it can be resolved by its name and IP address on all nodes and the client itself.
Ensure that the machine clock is synchronized (for example, through the Network Time Protocol).
If an HP StoreAll user and group exists on the machine, delete them. HP StoreAll OS Software
requires exclusive use of the HP StoreAll user and group.
For the client operating system, configure the network interface that is to be used for network
communications. Configure only one cluster interface.
NOTE:
available to the client, prefer another communication route for the client. See
network interface for an HP StoreAll Linux client" (page
Verify that the client machine can communicate with the active management console and
nodes. The HP StoreAll OS Software requires successful ping -s 16000 communications
between all machines.
Installing the HP StoreAll Linux client software
To install the client software:
1.
Expand the distribution tarball, or mount the distribution DVD in a directory of your choice.
This creates an ibrix subdirectory containing the installer program. For example, if you
expand the tarball in /root folder, the installer is added to the /root/ibrix folder.
2.
Change to the installer directory.
3.
Do one of the following:
To install into the default home directory (/usr/local/ibrix), enter the following
command, where CLUSTER_IF specifies the interface to be used for cluster
communication, and CLUSTER_VIF is the cluster name or VIF for the management
console:
./ibrixinit -tc -C CLUSTER_IF -i CLUSTER_NAME/VIF_IP
For example:
./ibrixinit -tc -C eth4 -i 192.168.49.54
To install into a different directory, use the following command:
./ibrixinit -tc -C CLUSTER_IF -i CLUSTER_NAME/VIF_IP -P PATHNAME
4.
Verify that the HP StoreAll client is operational. The following command reports whether HP
StoreAll services are running:
/etc/init.d/ibrix_client status
Registering HP StoreAll Linux clients
You must manually register HP StoreAll Linux clients with the management console before they can
mount a file system. To register a client, execute the following StoreAll command:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_client -a -h HOST -e IPADDRESS
For example, to register client12.hp.com, which is accessible at IP address 192.168.2.12,
enter the following command:
<installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_client -a -h client12.hp.com -e 192.168.2.12
Registering multicluster clients
A multicluster client is one that is registered to more than one management console and is a member
of more than one cluster. To configure such a remote client, run programs as the root user on both
the client and management console.
By default, communication flows through the cluster network. If the network is not
