The table below describes some of the directories that may be of interest to you. Note that the directory names may contain the following variables, which correspond to ManagedNode attributes:
Table 4. CSM installation directories

/csminstall | Main (parent) CSM install directory. /csminstall is mounted on the cluster nodes during both CSM-only and full installations. |
/csminstall/csm | Contains tools and libraries required for CSM (for files that are not specific to a particular version of CSM). |
/csminstall/csm/config | Contains temporary node configuration files. Do not modify the contents of this directory. |
/csminstall/csm/status | Status files of node installation. |
/csminstall/csm/InstallCSMVersion | Contains tools and libraries required for CSM (for files that are specific to a particular version of CSM). |
/csminstall/csm/InstallCSMVersion /kickstart.InstallDistributionNameInstallDistributionVersion/node-ipaddr-kickstart | The Kickstart configuration file for each node. |
/csminstall/InstallOSName | Contains files needed to install and configure nodes based on the operating system type. |
/csminstall/InstallOSName/InstallDistributionName/csm/InstallCSMVersion /packages/*.rpm | The directory in which the CSM RPM packages that will be installed on the management server and the nodes are stored. installms copies the CSM RPMs from the CSM CD-ROM to this directory. RPMs of open source and IBM Java2 programs also get stored here. |
/csminstall/InstallOSName/InstallDistributionName/InstallPkgArchitecture/RedHat/ RPMS/*.rpm | The directory in which the RPM packages, that will be installed on the management server and the nodes, are stored. installms copies the RPMs that are needed to install CSM on the management and the nodes to this directory. csmsetupks copies the RPMs needed to install the operating system to this directory. |
/etc/dhcpd.conf | The system configuration file for the dhcp server. |
/opt/csm/install/kscfg.tmpl.RedHat.InstallDistributionVersion | The Kickstart configuration template file. |
