Step 9:
Use Apple Remote Desktop to configure Network System Preferences
on each node
Log in to each cluster node using Apple Remote Desktop on the Xserve. In Network
System Preferences on each node:
•
Use the TCP/IP pane to configure the node so that the built-in Ethernet port is
using DHCP.
•
Add “local” to the Search domains field. (This enables Rendezvous name resolution,
which is required for later steps.)
Step 10:
Use Apple Remote Desktop to install Shake and Shake Qmaster
Follow the steps below to use Apple Remote Desktop on the Xserve to install Shake
and Shake Qmaster on each of the cluster nodes.
1
Insert the Shake CD in the Xserve CD drive.
2
Select the Shake CD. Choose Edit > Copy.
3
Open the media disk you configured and choose Edit > Paste Item. This makes a copy
of the Shake installation CD-ROM on your media disk.
4
Using Apple Remote Desktop, select a cluster node and click the Control icon to take
control of the node.
5
In the Finder on the remote cluster node, open the Shake installer on your
automounted media disk. (In this sample setup, it would be located in /Network/
Servers/XserveName/Volumes/MediaDiskName/ShakeVolumeName/Installer, where
ShakeVolumeName is the Shake CD icon name that appears on the desktop.)
6
Double-click the Shake “.mpkg” file. Install the necessary Shake and Shake Qmaster
components.
7
When the installation is complete, choose Manage > Restart, and then close the
Remote Desktop window for the cluster node.
Repeat these steps for each of the remaining cluster nodes.
For more information about Shake and Shake Qmaster installations, refer to the
Installing Your Software booklet that came with Shake.
Step 11:
Use Shake Qmaster to create a cluster
Now you can create a Shake Qmaster cluster that contains the Xserve and the cluster
nodes. The three basic steps involved in creating the cluster are outlined below. See the
Shake Qmaster Help for more information about creating clusters.
1
Using Apple Remote Desktop on the Xserve:
a
Log in to a cluster node.
b
Open the Shake Qmaster pane in System Preferences, then enable the UNIX
Processing service. (This configures a cluster node to serve as a service node.)
c
Repeat the above two steps on each cluster node.
