If you enabled encryption in the previous section, have your security administrator present for this procedure. The security administrator should be the only person to see the encryption key.
  1. From the New Install Menu, enter x. If you run the installation as the install user, the wizard informs you that data-in-flight encryption is enabled.
    The wizard asks for confirmation that it is legal to ship a system with data-in-flight encryption enabled to the country where the system is to be deployed.
    Confirm Data in Flight Encryption / SSL 
    =============================================
    Data-in-flight encryption has been enabled for this HCP system. Global trade
    compliance prohibits shipping HCP systems to restricted countries with this
    feature enabled.  Are you sure it is legal to ship an HCP system with data-in-
    flight encryption enabled to the country where the system will be deployed?

  6. (Optional) If you previously selected that you want to configure dedicated database volumes, complete the following substeps:
    1. When prompted, select the dedicated database volume for the first node.
    2. Press Enter to confirm your selection.
    3. Repeat the Substeps a and b for each node in the system.
    4. After you select the dedicated database volumes for each node, HCP Setup confirms your selections and asks if you want to continue.
      Select dedicated volume for each node.
      Found these volumes:
             node 001:
                     1. /dev/sdd at 2:0:0:1 (500GB)
                     2. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:2 (500GB)
                     3. /dev/sdd at 2:0:0:3 (500GB)

                     4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)
      
      node 004:
                     1. /dev/sdd at 2:0:0:1 (500GB)
                     2. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:2 (500GB)

                     4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)
      Select dedicated database volume for node 001: 4
      You chose: “4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)”, is this correct? [Default: yes]:
      Select dedicated database volume for node 002: 4
      You chose: “4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)”, is this correct? [Default: yes]:
      Select dedicated database volume for node 003: 4
      You chose: “4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)”, is this correct? [Default: yes]:
      Select dedicated database volume for node 004: 4
      You chose: “4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)”, is this correct? [Default: yes]:
      Following volumes will be configured as dedicated database volumes:
             node 001: 4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)
             node 002: 4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)
             node 003: 4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)
             node 004: 4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)
      Do you want to continue? [Default: yes]?
    5. Press Enter to continue.
      If the prechecks are successful, the HCP software is installed on all nodes in the system.
      Depending on the size of the logical volumes, this can take from several minutes to several hours.
      If you enabled encryption in the system configuration, HCP Setup performs some initial setup tasks and then displays the encryption key.
      Setup then prompts you to enter the key.
      Important: Before entering the encryption key, record it. After you enter the key, HCP Setup completes the installation. You do not get a second chance to see the key, and it is not stored for later retrieval.
      When the installation is complete, HCP Setup logs you out and restarts the nodes.
      The console then displays the login prompt.
      If HCP Setup exits before installation processing is complete, record all error messages. Then contact your authorized HCP service provider for assistance.
      After the installation is complete, the HCP VM nodes restart, and, instead of the operating system login prompt, you should see an hcp-node- nodeNumber prompt.
      You can also verify the run level of a node by pressing Alt+F5 at the console prompt.
