[gpfsug-discuss] question about spectrum scale 5.0.3 installer

[David Johnson]

I built a test cluster a month ago on 14 nodes.  Today I want to install two more NSD nodes.
When I tried to run the installer, it looks like it is going back and fiddling with the nodes that
were installed earlier, and are up and running with the filesystem mounted.  

I ended up having to abort the install (rebooted the two new nodes because they were stuck
on multpath that had had earlier errors), and the messages indicated that the installation failed
on all the existing NSD and GUI nodes, but no mention of the two that I wanted to install on.

Do I have anything to worry about when I try again (now that multipath is fixed)?  I want to be
able to incrementally add servers and clients as we go along, and not have the installer 
messing up previous progress.  Can I tell the installer exactly which nodes to work on?

Thanks,
