The last part showed the Domain Controller configuration. This part explains the Head Node setup of the “Head Node” Virtual Machine in Hyper-V. The Head Node acts as main entry point for jobs and central managing and administration entity for the whole HPC Cluster.
- Start the “Head Node” Virtual Machine and insert the “SRVHPC_EN.iso” into the Virtual Machines DVD drive
- Boot from the ISO and Install Windows Server 2008 using the standard configuration
- After the installation was completed, reboot and insert the “HPCEval.iso” into the Virtual Machines DVD drive and start the HPC Pack installation
- Select to create a new HPC Cluster and a new database instance
- Install the required components and then start the cluster management console in the next step
- In the cluster management To-do list, select to configure the network
- Select the topology with all nodes on enterprise and private networks, specify a static IP address for the Head Node private network and use the firewall default settings
- Add the domain user credentials to the cluster user group
- Configure the Compute Node naming series and supply the base image that will later be used for the automatic deployment of Compute Nodes for the HPC Cluster (use the “SRVHPC_EN.iso” in the Virtual Machines DVD drive for this purpose, point to the “setup.exe” file)
