4.3.1.1 Scanning nodes
Cluster Administration
→Node Management→Scan Node
The HP Insight CMU Node Management component provides the capability to scan new nodes
into the HP Insight CMU database. You can also manually add node information.
Use this interface to scan nodes in the HP Insight CMU database to retrieve hardware addresses
and configure IP addresses. The HP Insight CMU database is updated with the new nodes. Enter
parameters in the initial Scan Node dialog box.
IMPORTANT: On compute nodes with LO100i management cards, scanning does not work if
PXE is not activated on the BIOS. Only the hardware address of the PXE-enabled NIC is retrieved.
Figure 8 Scan node dialog
The Figure 8 (page 46) , node dialog example will discover 64 nodes. Node names will range
from cn001 to cn064. This is specified by the Node name pattern parameter and the Initial value
of %i token parameter. For help on each parameter, click the ?.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you choose the correct management card type for your compute nodes
(LO100i/iLO).
To launch the scan node process:
1. Click OK.
2. In the confirmation window, click OK.
3. Enter the user name and password for the management card.
