Figure 1–4. Multiple OS 2200 Nodes with Multiple Intel Nodes
Follow these steps when installing a ClearPath IX server with multiple nodes:
1. Ensure that the factory-built customer ODB files are configured to support planned OS
2200 node HMP configurations (Appendix D).
2. Install the ClearPath IX server 2200 node, boot and run SUMMIT, and run the
applicable FDDI LAN test as summarized in the CSR overview (1.2).
3. Install the operating system IOE on the first Intel node according to the instructions in
the applicable operating system IOE section. During installation of the operating
system or later (such as when running a tuning script in the case of UnixWare),
configure the following networking information:
a. The hostname and IP address that identify the node on the private interconnect
(see Appendix B).
b. The hostname and IP address that identify the node on the external Ethernet
(TCP/IP) network at the site (see 2.2).
c. The same hostnames and IP addresses as configured for the operating system
must be configured for network interface cards (both FDDI and Ethernet) for the
node.
4. Repeat step 3 for each subsequent Intel node until the operating system IOE has been
installed on each Intel node.
