Sun Cluster 3.1 Installation
Filesystems (minimum required)
/ 65Mb free (/ =40Mb, /usr = 25Mb) Note: remember to save a 100mb each for the veritas and/or ODS partitions |
Installation
The below installation was carried out on two ultra30's with 512Mb of ram in each. Each server had one 4 Gb hard disk running Solaris 8. Both servers were attached to a D1000 contain 5 x 9gb hard disks, also both servers had a quad ethernet card installed.
Before installing make sure that both servers can remote shell into each other without requesting for a password (update /.rhosts files)

Help with menu options q) Return to the Main Menu Option: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Installing just the First Node of a New Cluster *** This option is used to establish a new cluster using this machine as the first node in that cluster. Once the cluster framework software is installed, you will be asked for the name of the cluster. Then, you will have the opportunity to run sccheck(1M) to test this machine for basic Sun Cluster pre-configuration requirements. After sccheck(1M) passes, you will be asked for the names of the other nodes which will initially be joining that cluster. In addition, you will be asked to provide certain cluster transport configuration information. Press Control-d at any time to return to the Main Menu. Do you want to continue (yes/no) [yes]? yes --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Software Package Installation <<< Installation of the Sun Cluster framework software packages will take a few minutes to complete. Is it okay to continue (yes/no) [yes]? yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Installing SunCluster 3.1 framework ** SUNWscr.....done SUNWscu.....done SUNWscsck...done SUNWscnm....done SUNWscdev...done SUNWscgds...done SUNWscman...done etc................................ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Software Patch Installation <<< If there are any Solaris or Sun Cluster patches that need to be added as part of this Sun Cluster installation, scinstall can add them for you. All patches that need to be added must first be downloaded into a common patch directory. Patches can be downloaded into the patch directory either as individual patches or as patches grouped together into one or more tar, jar, or zip files. If a patch list file is provided in the patch directory, only those patches listed in the patch list file are installed. Otherwise, all patches found in the directory will be installed. Refer to the patchadd(1M) man page for more information regarding patch list files. Do you want scinstall to install patches for you (yes/no) [yes]? no --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Cluster Name <<< Each cluster has a name assigned to it. The name can be made up of any characters other than whitespace. Each cluster name should be unique within the namespace of your enterprise. What is the name of the cluster you want to establish? prod ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Check <<< This step allows you to run sccheck(1M) to verify that certain basic hardware and software pre-configuration requirements have been met. If sccheck(1M) detects potential problems with configuring this machine as a cluster node, a report of failed checks is prepared and available for display on the screen. Data gathering and report generation can take several minutes, depending on system configuration. Do you want to run sccheck (yes/no) [yes]? yes --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Cluster Nodes <<< This Sun Cluster release supports a total of up to 16 nodes. Please list the names of the other nodes planned for the initial cluster configuration. List one node name per line. When finished, type Control-D: Node name: sun1 Node name: sun2 Node name (Control-D to finish): ^D This is the complete list of nodes: sun1 sun2 Is it correct (yes/no) [yes]? yes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attempting to contact "sun2" ... done Searching for a remote install method ... done The remote shell (see rsh(1)) will be used to install and configure this cluster. Press Enter to continue: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Cluster Transport Adapters and Cables <<< You must identify the two cluster transport adapters which attach this node to the private cluster interconnect. Select the first cluster transport adapter for "sun1": 1) hme0 2) qfe0 3) qfe1 4) qfe2 5) Other Option: 1 Searching for any unexpected network traffic on "hme0" ... done Verification completed. No traffic was detected over a 10 second sample period. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Select the second cluster transport adapter for "sun1": 1) hme0 2) qfe0 3) qfe1 4) qfe2 5) Other Option: 3 Searching for any unexpected network traffic on "qfe1" ... done Verification completed. No traffic was detected over a 10 second sample period. Is it okay to begin the installation (yes/no) [yes]? yes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the installation process, sccheck(1M) is run on each of the new cluster nodes. If sccheck(1M) detects problems, you can either interrupt the installation process or check the log files after installation has completed. Interrupt the installation for sccheck errors (yes/no) [no]? no ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Installation and Configuration Log file - /var/cluster/logs/install/scinstall.log.24537 Testing for "/globaldevices" on "sun1" ... done Testing for "/globaldevices" on "sun2" ... done Checking installation status ... done The Sun Cluster software is already installed on "sun1".
