[Note]Note

If your cluster does not have access to the Internet, or you are creating a large cluster and you want to conserve bandwidth, you need to provide access to the bits using an alternative method. For more information, see Optional: Configure the Local Repositories section. If you need tarballs to set your local repository up, they can be found here:


When you have the software, continue your install based on your base platform.
