Step 3. Complete the node planning templates

This step involves gathering and recording information about the nodes in your cluster. You enter the hardware-related information about your nodes on the Hardware Node Attribute Template and you enter the software-related information about your nodes on the Software Node Attribute Template.

To complete the node attribute templates, do the following:

  1. Go to the CSM for Linux: Hardware Planning and Control Guide for instructions on filling out the Hardware Node Attribute Template. Note that the CSM for Linux: Hardware Planning and Control Guide contains a completed example of the template. The blank template is provided in this book in Appendix A, Node attributes templates. When you have completed the Hardware Node Attribute Template, return to this step.
  2. Go to Appendix A, Node attributes templates and follow the instructions for completing the Software Node Attribute Template. After you have done this, you will be ready to go on to Step 4. Create a nodedef file (optional).
