If you do not specify the Scheduler parameter, this cmdlet uses the scheduler on the head node that the CCP_SCHEDULER environment variable specifies. To set this environment variable, run the following cmdlet:

  • You must be a cluster administrator to run this cmdlet successfully.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Adds the device driver with a setup information (.inf) file located at C:\MyDrivers\MyDriver.inf to all of the operating system images in the HPC cluster.


  Copy Code
Add-HpcDriver -Path C:\MyDrivers\MyDriver.inf

EXAMPLE 2

Adds the device drivers with setup information (.inf) files located at C:\MyDrivers\Driver1.inf and C:\MyDrivers\Driver2.inf to all of the operating system images in the HPC cluster with a head node named HeadNode.


  Copy Code
Add-HpcDriver -Scheduler HeadNode -Path C:\MyDrivers\Driver1.inf,C:\MyDrivers\Driver2.inf
