8 Cluster Testing There are two programs for testing the installed cluster. These programs are the Hardware Verification and Labeling Utility and the Cluster Installation Test. Hardware Verification and Labeling Utility The Hardware Verification and Labeling Utility scans the system and checks system integrity before you perform system configuration. It helps you simplify the assembly process that must be performed while trying to setup a new product. With this utility you can: • Create an asset inventory list • Check cabling connections • Label installed hardware • Health check hardware components Obtain the Utility The Hardware Verification and Labeling Utility is included on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. You can run the test directly from the CD, or you can create a bootable floppy disk from HP NetServer Navigator's disk library. The floppy disk is bootable to ensure that it is independent of the customer's network operating system. However, it does not include COMMAND.COM, so it is not usable as a DOS disk. Run the Utility CAUTION The Hardware and Verification Utility is designed to run on a single HP NetServer and not an operational cluster. Therefore, to prevent corrupting the shared storage in your cluster, power down the cluster node (HP NetServer) not being tested when running this test. If the system is booted from the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM you will find that the utility does not appear as a direct menu choice. However, when the Configuration Assistant is run, you will be given the option of first running the Hardware Verification and Labeling Utility. This offer is only made the first time Configuration Assistant is selected after a reboot. The Hardware Verification and Labeling Utility is supplied with a README.TXT file. This file contains detailed information on the utility and instructions for setting up and running the utility. HP NetServer Installation Guide 40
