Perform this task only if the system
requires additional RPMs from the HP XC distribution DVD; otherwise,
bypass this task.
By default, the HP XC system is installed with
the software that is most appropriate for a high-performance cluster computer.
Software that is more appropriate for a Linux workstation or time-sharing
computer, such as much of the KDE and Gnome functionality, various Web browsers,
games, and so on, is available on the HP XC distribution DVD.
Proceed to the following sections

Install the HP XC Serviceguard RPM |
 |
If you intend
to configure services for improved availability, and you want to use Serviceguard
as the availability tool to manage those services, follow this procedure to
mount the HP XC distribution DVD and install the RPM that enables
Serviceguard to work on an HP XC system:
Insert the DVD into the DVD drive
and mount it on the default location (the default location is the /media/cdrom directory):
Change to the following directory:
# cd /media/cdrom/HPC/extras/RPMS |
Determine the current version of the Serviceguard RPM, which is
embedded in the RPM name:
Use the results obtained from the
previous step to install the Serviceguard RPM:
# rpm -ivh sg-avail-version.noarch.rpm |
Unmount the DVD:
Install Optional Linux RPMs |
|
Follow this procedure to install additional, optional
Linux RPMs from the HP XC distribution DVD; first, mount the DVD and
then navigate to the directory containing the RPMs:
If the DVD is not already mounted,
insert the installation DVD into the DVD drive and mount it on the default
location (the default location is the /media/cdrom directory):
Change to the following directory:
# cd /media/cdrom/LNXHPC/RPMS |
Find the Linux RPM you want to install
and issue the appropriate command to install it. Depending on the RPM you
want to install, you will issue a command similar to the following:
# rpm -ivh rpm_name_version.noarch.rpm |
Unmount the DVD:
