Software Node Attributes Template

Note that for the typical system, the software attributes will be the same for each node. If this is the case with your system, the attributes will be simple to understand, and filling out this template may not be necessary. However, if the nodes of your system have different software attributes, it may be difficult to keep track of them so, in this case, you should complete this template. It will be useful for future reference, especially during installation.

Completing the Software Node Attributes Template

Before starting, note that the Software Node Attributes Template accommodates 25 nodes. If you have more than 25 nodes in your cluster, make copies of the template as needed.

For each node (Hostname) in the cluster, enter the following information on the template:

Hostname
Specifies the host name of the node. For example, node1.

InstallCSMVersion
Specifies the version, release, and modification of CSM that will be installed on the node. Specify as version.release.modification. For example, 1.2.0.

InstallOSName
Specifies the operating system type. Currently, the only valid value is for this attribute is Linux.

InstallDistributionName
Specifies the operating system distribution. Currently, the only valid value for this attribute is RedHat.

InstallDistributionVersion
Specifies the operating system version. Specify as version.release. The valid values for this attribute are 7.1 or 7.2.

InstallPkgArchitecture
Specifies the machine architecture of the node. Currently, the only valid value for this attribute is i386, but the i386 value encompasses i486, i586, and i686 architectures.
