This procedure will add a liquid-cooled blades to an HPE Cray EX system.
The Cray command line interface (CLI) tool is initialized and configured on the system. See Configure the Cray CLI.
Knowledge of whether Data Virtualization Service (DVS) is operating over the Node Management Network (NMN) or the High Speed Network (HSN).
Blade is being added to an existing liquid-cooled cabinet in the system.
The Slingshot fabric must be configured with the desired topology for desired state of the blades in the system.
The System Layout Service (SLS) must have the desired HSN configuration.
Check the status of the high-speed network (HSN) and record link status before the procedure.
(ncn-mw#
) Review the following command examples.
The following commands can be used to capture the required values from the Hardware State Manager (HSM) ethernetInterfaces
table and
write the values to a file, which can then be used to automate subsequent commands in this procedure.
mkdir blade_swap_scripts; cd blade_swap_scripts
cat blade_query.sh
Example output:

The blades must have the coolant drained and filled during the swap to minimize cross-contamination of cooling systems.
(ncn-mw#
) Suspend the hms-discovery cron job
to disable it.
kubectl -n services patch cronjobs hms-discovery -p '{"spec" : {"suspend" : true }}'
Verify that the hms-discovery cron job
has stopped.
kubectl get cronjobs -n services hms-discovery
Example output. Note the ACTIVE

and is SUSPEND
= True
in the output indicating the job has been suspended:
NAME SCHEDULE SUSPEND ACTIVE LAST SCHEDULE AGE
hms-discovery */3 * * * * True 0 117s 15d
(ncn-mw#
) Determine if the destination chassis slot is populated.
This example is checking slot 0 in chassis 3 of cabinet x1005
.
cray hsm state components describe x1005c3s0 --format toml
Example output:
ID = "x1005c3s0"
Type = "ComputeModule"
State = "Empty"
Flag = "OK"
Enabled = true
NetType = "Sling"
Arch = "X86"
Class = "Mountain"
If the state of the slot is On
or Off
, then the chassis slot is populated.
If the state of the slot is Empty
, then the chassis slot is not populated.
(ncn-mw#
) Verify that the chassis slot is powered off.
Skip this step if the chassis slot is unpopulated.
cray power status describe x1005c3s0 --format toml
Example output:
[[status]]
xname = "x1005c3s0"
powerState = "on"
managementState = "available"
error = ""
supportedPowerTransitions = [ "On", "Force-Off", "Soft-Off", "Off", "Init", "Hard-Restart", "Soft-Restart",]
lastUpdated = "2024-02-04T01:48:48.3156272Z"
If the slot is powered on, then power the chassis slot off.
cray power transition off --xnames x1005c3s0 --include children
Install the blade into the system into the desired location.
(ncn-mw#
) Obtain an authentication token to access the API gateway.
export TOKEN=$(curl -s -S -d grant_type=client_credentials \
-d client_id=admin-client \
-d client_secret=`kubectl get secrets admin-client-auth -o jsonpath='{.data.client-secret}' | base64 -d` \
https://api-gw-service-nmn.local/keycloak/realms/shasta/protocol/openid-connect/token | jq -r '.access_token')
(ncn-mw#
) Skip this step if DVS is operating over the HSN, otherwise proceed with this step.
When DVS is operating over the NMN and a blade is being replaced, the mapping of node component name (xname) to node IP address must be preserved.
Kea automatically adds entries to the HSM ethernetInterfaces
table when DHCP lease is provided (about every 5 minutes).
To prevent Kea from automatically adding MAC entries to the HSM ethernetInterfaces
table, use the following commands:
Create an eth_interfaces
file that contains the interface IDs for the Node Maintenance Network
entries for the destination blade location.
If there has not been a blade previously in the destination location there may not be any Ethernet Interfaces to delete from HSM.
The blade_query.sh
script from the prerequisites section can help determine the IDs for the HSM Ethernet Interfaces associated with the blade if any.
It is expected that if a blade has not been populated in the slot before that no HSM Ethernet Interfaces IDs would be found.
cat eth_interfaces
Example output:
0040a6836339
0040a683633a
0040a68362e2
0040a68362e3
Run the following commands in succession to remove the interfaces if any.
(ncn-mw#
) Stop the cray-dhcp-kea-helper
job to prevent the interfaces from being re-created.
kubectl -n services patch cronjobs cray-dhcp-kea-helper -p '{"spec":{"suspend":true}}'
(ncn-mw#
) Remove the interfaces from HSM.
for ETH in $(cat eth_interfaces); do cray hsm inventory ethernetInterfaces delete $ETH --format json ; done
Skip this step if the destination blade location has not been previously populated with a blade.
Add the MAC address, IP address, and the Node Maintenance Network
description to the interfaces.
The component ID and IP address must be the values recorded from the blade previously in the destination location, and the MAC address must be the value recorded from the blade.
These values were recorded if the blade was removed via the Removing a Liquid-cooled blade from a System procedure.
Values recorded from the blade that was was previously in the slot.
ComponentID: "x1005c3s0b0n0"
MACAddress: "00:40:a6:83:63:99"
IPAddress: "10.10.0.123"
MAC=NEW_BLADE_MAC_ADDRESS
IP_ADDRESS=DESTLOCATION_IP_ADDRESS
XNAME=DESTLOCATION_XNAME
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" -L -X POST 'https://api-gw-service-nmn.local/apis/smd/hsm/v2/Inventory/EthernetInterfaces' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw "{
\"Description\": \"Node Maintenance Network\",
\"MACAddress\": \"$MAC\",
\"IPAddresses\": [
{
\"IPAddress\": \"$IP_ADDRESS\"
}
],
\"ComponentID\": \"$XNAME\"
}"
NOTE
Kea must be restarted when the curl
command is issued.
kubectl rollout restart deployment -n services cray-dhcp-kea
To change or correct a curl command that has been entered, use a PATCH request, for example:
curl -k -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -L -X PATCH \
'https://api-gw-service-nmn.local/apis/smd/hsm/v2/Inventory/EthernetInterfaces/0040a68350a4' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"MACAddress":"xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx","IPAddresses":[{"IPAddress":"10.xxx.xxx.xxx"}],"ComponentID":"XNAME"}'
Repeat the preceding command for each node in the blade.
(ncn-mw#
) Re-enable the cray-dhcp-kea-helper
job.
kubectl -n services patch cronjobs cray-dhcp-kea-helper -p '{"spec":{"suspend":false}}'
hms-discovery
cron job(ncn-mw#
) Rediscover the ChassisBMC
(the example shows cabinet 1005, chassis 3).
Rediscovering the ChassisBMC
will update HSM to become aware of the newly populated slot and
allow Power Control Service (PCS) to perform
power actions on the slot.
cray hsm inventory discover create --xnames x1005c3b0
(ncn-mw#
) Verify that discovery of the ChassisBMC
has completed.
That is, verify that LastDiscoveryStatus
= DiscoverOK
.
cray hsm inventory redfishEndpoints describe x1005c3b0 --format json
Example output:
{
"ID": "x1005c3b0",
"Type": "ChassisBMC",

}
}
(ncn-mw#
) Unsuspend the hms-discovery cronjob
to re-enable the hms-discovery
job.
kubectl -n services patch cronjobs hms-discovery -p '{"spec" : {"suspend" : false }}'
(ncn-mw#
) Verify that the hms-discovery
job has been unsuspended.
kubectl get cronjobs.batch -n services hms-discovery
Example output.
ACTIVE

and SUSPEND
= False
in the output indicates that the job has been unsuspended:
NAME SCHEDULE SUSPEND ACTIVE LAST SCHEDULE AGE
hms-discovery */3 * * * * False 1 41s 33d
(ncn-mw#
) Enable the chassis slot.
The example enables slot 0, chassis 3, in cabinet 1005.
cray hsm state components enabled update --enabled true x1005c3s0
(ncn-mw#
) Power on the chassis slot.
The example powers on slot 0, chassis 3, in cabinet 1005.
cray power transition on --xnames x1005c3s0 --include children
Wait at least three minutes for the blade to power on and the node controllers (BMCs) to be discovered.
(ncn-mw#
) Verify that the two node BMCs in the blade have been discovered by the HSM.
Run this command for each BMC in the blade (x1005c3s0b0
and x1005c3s0b1
in this example):
cray hsm inventory redfishEndpoints describe x1005c3s0b0 --format json
Example output:
{
"ID": "x1005c3s0b0",
"Type": "NodeBMC",
"Hostname": "x1005c3s0b0",
"Domain": "",
"FQDN": "x1005c3s0b0",
"Enabled": true,
"User": "root",
"Password": "",
"MACAddr": "02:03:E8:00:31:00",
"RediscoverOnUpdate": true,
"DiscoveryInfo": {
"LastDiscoveryAttempt": "2021-06-10T18:01:59.920850Z",
"LastDiscoveryStatus": "DiscoverOK",
"RedfishVersion": "1.2.0"
}
}
LastDiscoveryStatus
displays as DiscoverOK
, the node BMC has been successfully discovered.DiscoveryStarted
then the BMC is currently being inventoried by HSM.HTTPsGetFailed
or ChildVerificationFailed
, then an error has
occurred during the discovery process.Troubleshooting:
If the Redfish endpoint does not exist for a BMC, then verify the following:
(ncn-mw#
) Verify that the node BMC is pingable:
ping x1005c3s0b0
(ncn-mw#
) If the BMC is not pingable, then verify that the chassis slot has power.
cray power status describe x1005c3s0
If the Redfish endpoint is in HTTPsGetFailed
:
(ncn-mw#
) Verify that the node BMC is pingable:
ping x1005c3s0b0
(ncn-mw#
) If the BMC is pingable, then verify that the node BMC is configured with the expected credentials.
curl -k -u root:password https://x1005c3s0b0/redfish/v1/Managers
(ncn-mw#
) Clear out the existing Redfish event subscriptions from the BMCs on the blade.
Set the environment variable SLOT
to the blade’s location.
SLOT="x1005c3s0"
Clear the Redfish event subscriptions.
for BMC in $(cray hsm inventory redfishEndpoints list --type NodeBMC --format json | jq .RedfishEndpoints[].ID -r | grep ${SLOT}); do
/usr/share/doc/csm/scripts/operations/node_management/delete_bmc_subscriptions.py $BMC
done
Each BMC on the blade will have output like the following:
Clearing subscriptions from NodeBMC x3000c0s9b0
Retrieving BMC credentials from SCSD
Retrieving Redfish Event subscriptions from the BMC: https://x3000c0s9b0/redfish/v1/EventService/Subscriptions
Deleting event subscription: https://x3000c0s9b0/redfish/v1/EventService/Subscriptions/1
Successfully deleted https://x3000c0s9b0/redfish/v1/EventService/Subscriptions/1
(ncn-mw#
) Enable the nodes in the HSM database.
For a blade with four nodes per blade:
cray hsm state components bulkEnabled update --enabled true --component-ids x1005c3s0b0n0,x1005c3s0b0n1,x1005c3s0b1n0,x1005c3s0b1n1
For a blade with two nodes per blade:
cray hsm state components bulkEnabled update --enabled true --component-ids x1005c3s0b0n0,x1005c3s0b1n0
Verify that the nodes are enabled in the HSM.
cray hsm state components query create --component-ids x1005c3s0b0n0,x1005c3s0b0n1,x1005c3s0b1n0,x1005c3s0b1n1 --format toml
Partial example output:
[[Components]]
ID = x1005c3s0b0n0
Type = "Node"
Enabled = true
State = "Off"
[[Components]]
ID = x1005c3s0b1n1
Type = "Node"
Enabled = true
State = "Off"
Use boot orchestration to power on and boot the nodes. Specify the appropriate Boot Orchestration Service (BOS) template for the node type.
(ncn-mw#
) Determine how the BOS session template references compute hosts.
Typically, they are referenced by their Compute
role.
However, if they are referenced by component name (xname), then these new nodes should added to the BOS session template.
BOS_TEMPLATE=cos-2.0.30-slurm-healthy-compute
cray bos v2 sessiontemplates describe $BOS_TEMPLATE --format json|jq '.boot_sets[] | select(.node_list)'
(ncn-mw#
) Add new nodes to the list.
Dump the current session template.
The
name
field cannot be present in the file, or else the subsequent command to create the session template will fail. Thejq
command in the following example strips out this field.
cray bos v2 sessiontemplates describe $BOS_TEMPLATE --format json | jq 'del(.name)' > tmp.txt
Edit the tmp.txt
file, adding the new nodes to the node_list
.
(ncn-mw#
) Create the session template.
Set the name of the template.
The name of the session template is determined by the name provided to the --name
option on the command line.
Use the current value of $BOS_TEMPLATE
if wanting to overwrite the existing session template.
If wanting to use the current value, then skip this sub-step.
Otherwise, provide a different name for BOS_TEMPLATE
which will be used the --name
option.
The name specified in tmp.txt
is overridden by the value provided to the --name
option.
BOS_TEMPLATE="New-Session-Template-Name"
Create the session template.
cray bos v2 sessiontemplates create --file tmp.txt $BOS_TEMPLATE
Verify that the session template contains the additional nodes and the proper name.
cray bos v2 sessiontemplates describe $BOS_TEMPLATE --format json
(ncn-mw#
) Boot the nodes.
cray bos v2 sessions create --template-name $BOS_TEMPLATE \
--operation reboot --limit x1005c3s0b0n0,x1005c3s0b0n1,x1005c3s0b1n0,x1005c3s0b1n1
Use Firmware Action Service (FAS) to verify that the correct firmware versions are present for node BIOS, node controller (nC), NIC Mezzanine Card (NMC), GPUs, and so on.
Review FAS Admin Procedures to perform a dry run using FAS to verify firmware versions.
If necessary update firmware with FAS. See Update Firmware with FAS for more information.
There should be one or more cray-cps
pods.
(ncn-mw#
) Verify that the cray-cps
pods on worker nodes are Running
.
kubectl get pods -Ao wide | grep cps
Example output:
services cray-cps-75cffc4b94-j9qzf 2/2 Running 0 42h 10.40.0.57 ncn-w001
(ncn-w#
) SSH to each worker node running Content Projection Service (CPS)/DVS, and
ensure that there are no recurring "DVS: merge_one"
error messages as shown.
If found, these error messages indicate that DVS is detecting an IP address change for one of the client nodes.
dmesg -T | grep "DVS: merge_one"
Example output:
[Tue Jul 21 13:09:54 2020] DVS: merge_one#351: New node map entry does not match the existing entry
[Tue Jul 21 13:09:54 2020] DVS: merge_one#353: nid: 8 -> 8
[Tue Jul 21 13:09:54 2020] DVS: merge_one#355: name: 'x3000c0s19b1n0' -> 'x3000c0s19b1n0'
[Tue Jul 21 13:09:54 2020] DVS: merge_one#357: address: '10.252.0.26@tcp99' -> '10.252.0.33@tcp99'
[Tue Jul 21 13:09:54 2020] DVS: merge_one#358: Ignoring.
(ncn-mw#
) If the "DVS: merge_one"
error messages is shown, then the IP address of the node needs to be corrected. This will prevent the need to reload DVS.
Set the following environment variables based on the output collected in the previous step.
NODE_XNAME=x3000c0s19b1n0
CURRENT_IP_ADDRESS=10.252.0.33
DESIRED_IP_ADDRESS=10.252.0.26
Determine the HSM EthernetInterface entry holding onto the desired IP address.
cray hsm inventory ethernetInterfaces list --ip-address "${DESIRED_IP_ADDRESS}" --output toml
If no EthernetInterfaces are found, then continue on to the next step.
Example output:
results = []
If an EthernetInterface is found, then it needs to be removed from HSM.
Example output:
[[results]]
ID = "b42e99dfecf0"
Description = "Ethernet Interface Lan2"
MACAddress = "b4:2e:99:df:ec:f0"
LastUpdate = "2022-08-08T10:10:57.527819Z"
ComponentID = "x3000c0s17b2n0"
Type = "Node"
[[results.IPAddresses]]
IPAddress = "10.252.1.26"
Record the returned ID
value into the EI_ID
environment variable.
OLD_EI_ID=b42e99dfecf0
Delete the EthernetInterfaces from HSM.
cray hsm inventory ethernetInterfaces delete ${OLD_EI_ID}
Determine the HSM EthernetInterface entry holding onto the current IP address.
cray hsm inventory ethernetInterfaces list --component-id "${NODE_XNAME}" --ip-address "${CURRENT_IP_ADDRESS}" --output toml
Example output:
[[results]]
ID = "b42e99dff35f"
Description = "Ethernet Interface Lan1"
MACAddress = "b4:2e:99:df:f3:5f"
LastUpdate = "2022-08-18T16:38:21.13173Z"
ComponentID = "x3000c0s17b1n0"
Type = "Node"
[[results.IPAddresses]]
IPAddress = "10.252.1.69"
Record the returned ID
value into the EI_ID
environment variable.
CURRENT_EI_ID=b42e99dff35f
Update the EthernetInterface to have the desired IP address:
cray hsm inventory ethernetInterfaces update "$CURRENT_EI_ID" --component-id "${NODE_XNAME}" --ip-addresses--ip-address "${DESIRED_IP_ADDRESS}"
Reboot the node.
(nid#
) SSH to the node and check each DVS mount.
mount | grep dvs | head -1
Example output:

(ncn-mw#
) Determine the pod name for the Slingshot fabric manager pod and check the status of the fabric.
kubectl exec -it -n services $(kubectl get pods --all-namespaces |grep slingshot | awk '{print $2}') -- fmn_status
(ncn-mw#
) Check for duplicate IP address entries in the Hardware State Management Database (HSM).
Duplicate entries will cause DNS operations to fail.
Verify that each node hostname resolves to one IP address.
nslookup x1005c3s0b0n0
Example output with one IP address resolving:
Server: 10.92.100.225

If there are no duplicate IP addresses within HSM, then the following response is expected:
[
{
"result": 0,
"text": "Configuration successful."
}
]
If there is a duplicate IP address in the HSM, then an error message similar to the message below will be returned.
[{'result': 1, 'text': "Config reload failed: configuration error using file '/usr/local/kea/cray-dhcp-kea-dhcp4.conf':
