Make the following hardware preparations on all cluster
platform types if you have not already done so:
The connection of nodes to ProCurve switch ports is important
for the automatic discovery process. Ensure that all nodes are connected
as described in “Making Node and Switch Connections”.
Ensure that switches are configured to obtain IP addresses using
DHCP. For more information on how to do this, see the documents that came
with the ProCurve hardware. ProCurve documents are also available at the following
Web page:

Ensure that any nodes connected to a Lustre® file
system server are on their own Gigabit Ethernet switch.
Ensure that all hardware components are running the correct firmware
version and that all nodes in the system are at the same firmware version.
See “Firmware Requirements and Dependencies” for more
information.
The hardware preparation steps described in this
chapter apply only if the nodes are running the latest validated firmware
version.
Review the documentation that came with the hardware and have
it available, if needed.
Depending upon the type of cluster platform, proceed to
one of the following sections to prepare individual nodes:
