HP Cluster Management Utility (CMU) is a software suite of tools that you use to manage a large collection of nodes within a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster environment. Each cluster configuration includes separate management networks using Ethernet switches. CMU makes the management of this cluster more user friendly, efficient, and error free than if it were being managed by scripts, or on a node-by-node basis. CMU also offers full support for ILO2, LO100i adaptors or Integrity ILO adaptors, where applicable on the HP servers in the cluster.

CMU software supports both AMD-based and Xeon-based HP ProLiant rack and blade servers and HP Integrity servers running Linux.

Under certain circumstances, open source Linux distribution like Debian, CentOS, Scientific Linux can be supported with HP CMU on the compute nodes. Please contact your HP sales representative for more information.

There are 2 binaries on the CD:

• One for Intel XEON IA32, X86-64 and AMD Opteron Linux,
• One for Itanium IA64 Linux.

CMU Software is supported on each node of a valid configuration such as:

• HP Cluster Platform 3000/3000BL, HP cluster platform 4000/4000BL or an HP Cluster Platform 6000/6000BL.
  • The supported Cluster Platform 3000 systems are based on HP ProLiant DL140, DL160, DL320, DL360, and DL380 each of which uses Intel Xeon processors.
  • The supported Cluster Platform 3000BL systems are based on HP ProLiant blade BL460c and BL480c servers each of which use Intel Xeon processors.
  • The supported Cluster Platform 4000 systems are based on HP ProLiant DL145, DL165, DL185, DL385, and DL585 servers each of which use AMD Opteron processors.
  • The supported Cluster Platform 4000BL systems are based on HP ProLiant blade BL465c and BL685c servers each of which use AMD Opteron processors.
  • The supported Cluster Platform 6000 systems are based on HP Integrity rx1620, rx2620, rx3600, systems with Intel Itanium processors.
  • The supported Cluster Platform 6000BL systems are based on HP Integrity blade BL860c systems with Intel Itanium processors.
• CMU is also supported on HP Integrity rx4640, rx6600, rx7640, rx8640 and Superdome with Intel Itanium processors.

As new HP servers are released, the above list of CMU-supported platforms will be augmented. Please refer to the CMU hardware and platform support matrix at

http://www.hp.com/go/cmu

Each node may be connected to the others with a valid system interconnect that could be Gigabit, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Myricom Myrinet-2000, Quadrics QsNetII or InfiniBand.

All SATA or SAS hard disk drives configurations are supported, provided that those drives are supported by the servers.
