3.3 PRIMECLUSTER Installation

You can install PRIMECLUSTER using an installation script.

Installation script
The installation script is also called the CLI Installer. It is used to install PRIMECLUSTER on a system in which Linux(R) software and related Fujitsu software have been installed. This method is also used for installation of the cluster management server.

See

For details on the installation procedures, see the Installation Guide for PRIMECLUSTER.

After PRIMECLUSTER was installed, perform the following settings for RHEL6 environments so that CF modules and GDS modules are not incorporated to an initial RAM disk (initramfs) for kdump:

Add CF modules (cf, symsrv) and GDS modules (sfdsk, sfdsk_lib, sfdsklog, sfdsksys) to the setting of blacklist for /etc/kdump.conf.
Example
- If the setting of blacklist has been described to /etc/kdump.conf
  Before change:
```
blacklist kvm-intel
```
  After change (if GDS is not installed):
```
blacklist kvm-intel cf symsrv
```
  After change (if GDS is installed):
```
blacklist kvm-intel cf symsrv sfdsk sfdsk_lib sfdsklog sfdsksys
```
- If the setting of blacklist has not been described to /etc/kdump.conf
  Add the following line.
  If GDS is not installed:
```
blacklist cf symsrv
```
  If GDS is installed:
```
blacklist cf symsrv sfdsk sfdsk_lib sfdsklog sfdsksys
```
Restart the system or the service of kdump.
