HP ProLiant DL380p Installing Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 on - Page 11

Appendix A: Known issues and workarounds This section provides details about the known issues with installing Windows CCS 2003 on ProLiant servers using RIS. Table A-1. Known issues on ProLiant servers Issue Details Issue 1 RIS only installs Windows CCS 2003. Description: The RIS process only installs the base operating system and cluster software. It is not possible to use RIS to install other applications. Workaround: The HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack allows you to deploy a customized image. This allows you to configure one compute node with all of the required software, and then deploy that image to all of the other compute nodes. More information on HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack can be found at www.hp.com/servers/rdp. Issue 2 Downloadable driver updates (Smart Components) may not unpack properly with 64-bit Windows. Description: Some compressed driver files may not unpack properly if run on a server running Windows CCS 2003. You may see an error indicating a valid file but for the wrong system architecture. Solution Copy the compressed file to a system running a 32-bit version of Windows and unpack it, then copy back to the 64-bit server for execution. Issue 3 Voltaire InfiniBand drivers may not install properly. Description: Voltaire InfiniBand drivers may not install properly if the card has an older version of firmware. Solution: Follow the procedures found in the Voltaire user documentation and update the firmware on each InfiniBand card. Issue 4 Compute nodes do not join the cluster automatically. Description: Solution: RIS installs the operating system successfully, but does not execute the Compute Cluster Pack setup properly. Change the Windows Firewall setting in the Compute Cluster Administrator using the wizard provided in the Networking section of the To-Do List. 11
