Installation Method Options

Specify either rsh or cluster-tool as the method for propagating the installation to all the nodes in the cluster.

• cluster-tool - If you choose the cluster-tool option, you will be able to use one of the Cluster Console Manager (CCM) applications, cconsole, ctelnet, or crlogin, to greatly facilitate the installation of Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 software on all of the nodes in your cluster in parallel. See Appendix B for information about using CCM tools.

  Note -

  You can use the CCM tools to install on up to 16 nodes at a time. For clusters with more than 16 nodes, you will have to repeat the installation process on groups of up to 16 nodes at a time until you have installed the software on the entire cluster.

  ---

• rsh - If you choose the rsh method, the software will be installed serially on the cluster notes in the order in which they are listed in hpc_config. The CCM applications cannot be used to install the software in rsh mode.

Also note that this method requires that all nodes are trusted hosts--at least during the installation process.
