PRIMECLUSTER Installation and Administration Guide 4.3

3.2 Installation and Setup of Related Software (for the Virtual Machine Function)

After installing the PRIMECLUSTER-related software, you need to set up the operating system, hardware, etc. that will be used and administered.

Perform the following as needed.

1. Host OS setup

   If you plan to operate a guest OS as part of a cluster, set up the required disk devices, virtual bridges, virtual SCSI devices, user accounts, and guest OS initializations on the host OS.

   Perform this setup after installing the operating system.

   For details, see "3.2.1 Host OS setup".

2. NTP setup (host OS/guest OS)

   This setup is for synchronizing the time on each node comprising the cluster system, which is necessary when creating a cluster.

   This setup should be performed on the host OS and guest OS before installing PRIMECLUSTER.

   See

   For details on how to set up NTP, see "PRIMEQUEST Virtual Machine Function User's Manual".

3. Guest OS Setup

   On the guest OSes comprising the cluster system, you need to set up the network, including IP addresses of the public LAN and administrative LAN.

   Perform this setup after installing the operating system.

   For details, see "3.2.2 Guest OS setup".

4. Kernel parameter check and setup

   To operate the PRIMECLUSTER-related software, you need to edit the values of the kernel parameters based on the environment.

   Perform this setup before rebooting the installed PRIMECLUSTER.

   For details, see "3.2.3 Kernel parameter check".
