6. Click Start RIS.

7. Reboot the compute nodes. Because all of the nodes are running Linux, you can use

SSH to initiate a reboot remotely. For an example, see Appendix 9. You can simultaneously boot any number of nodes. 8. Connect to the console (by using the chassis‘s hardware) of several of the compute

nodes to verify that they boot into PXE and that the Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 installation procedures have started. Continue when the installation has finished on all of the compute nodes.

Approve Compute Nodes

After the installation is finished on all of the nodes, approve the compute nodes in the Compute Cluster Administration GUI or with a WCCS clusrun script.

Note: When included, screen shots immediately follow the step that they illustrate. They can be used for verification of the procedure described.

1. Navigate to Node Management in the Compute Cluster Administrator.

2. Select all of the nodes, right-click, and then select Approve.

3. Check that all of the nodes are selected, right-click, and then select Resume.

Note: If you must reinstall Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, first delete Partition 3 on all of the compute nodes, activate Partition 1, and then delete the selected compute node machine objects in Active Directory. If you do not delete Partition 3, the next time that Windows is installed, the Windows partition will be assigned the drive letter C.
