This stage walks the user through creating the configuration payload for the system.
(pit#) Make the prep directory.
mkdir -pv "${PITDATA}/prep"
(pit#) Change into the prep directory.
cd "${PITDATA}/prep"
(pit#) Download the SHCD to the prep directory.
The SHCD is contained in the administrator’s Cray deliverable.
Validate the SHCD.
See Validate SHCD and then return to this page.
The following steps use the new, automated method for generating files. The previous step for validate SHCD generated “paddle” files; these are necessary for generating the rest of the seed files.
NOTE: The paddle files are temporarily not used due to bugs in the seed file generation software. Until these bugs are resolved, the seed files must be manually generated.
If seed files from a prior installation of the same major-minor version of CSM exist, then these can be used and this step may be skipped.
(pit#) Create each seed file, unless they already exist from a previous installation.
For new installations of CSM that have no prior seed files, each one must be created:
For re-installations of CSM 1.3, the previous seed files may be used and this step can be skipped.
For new installations of CSM 1.3 that have prior seed files from CSM 1.2 or older, the previous seed files may be used except that the following files must be recreated because of content or formatting changes:
(pit#) Confirm that the topology files exist.
ls -l "${PITDATA}"/prep/{application_node_config.yaml,cabinets.yaml,hmn_connections.json,ncn_metadata.csv,switch_metadata.csv}
Expected output may look like:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 146 Jun 6 00:12 /var/www/ephemeral/prep/application_node_config.yaml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 392 Jun 6 00:12 /var/www/ephemeral/prep/cabinets.yaml
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3768 Jun 6 00:12 /var/www/ephemeral/prep/hmn_connections.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1216 Jun 6 00:12 /var/www/ephemeral/prep/ncn_metadata.csv
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 150 Jun 6 00:12 /var/www/ephemeral/prep/switch_metadata.csv
After completing this procedure, return to the pre-installation document to generate system configuration.
