Red Hat Installation

Caution

Scyld ClusterWare depends on certain Red Hat packages, and the Scyld installation may fail if the necessary Red Hat packages are not installed. Therefore, Scyld recommends that you install all Red Hat packages.

To install all packages during a Red Hat installation, check the Everything box in the Package Group Selection screen.

To update an existing Red Hat installation to include all packages, insert the first Red Hat CD and invoke the Red Hat update program. Check the Everything box in the Package Group Selection screen, then continue with the update process.

Caution

Check the Release Notes for your release and see whether you must update your Red Hat or CentOS base installation. If you are not familiar with the yum command, see the Section called Updating Red Hat or CentOs Installation in the Chapter called Detailed Installation Instructions for details on the update procedures.
