Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 Software Installation Guide

How to Install Cluster Control Panel Software on the Administrative Console

Note –

You are not required to use an administrative console. If you do not use an administrative console, perform administrative tasks from one designated node in the cluster.

This procedure describes how to install the Cluster Control Panel (CCP) software on the administrative console. The CCP provides a launchpad for the cconsole(1M), ctelnet(1M), and crlogin(1M) tools. Each of these tools provides a multiple-window connection to a set of nodes. These tools also provide a common window that sends input to all nodes at one time.

You can use any desktop machine that runs the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 operating environment as an administrative console. In addition, you can also use the administrative console as a Sun Management Center console or server as well as a documentation server. See Sun Management Center documentation for information on how to install Sun Management Center software. See the Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 Release Notes for information on how to install Sun Cluster documentation.

  1. Ensure that a supported version of the Solaris operating environment and any Solaris patches are installed on the administrative console.

    All platforms require at least the Solaris End User System Support software group.

  2. (Optional) If you intend to use the Web Start program with a GUI, ensure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set.

  3. Insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the administrative console.

    If the Volume Management daemon vold(1M) is running and configured to manage CD-ROM devices, it automatically mounts the CD-ROM on the /cdrom/suncluster_3_1_u1 directory.

  4. Become superuser on the administrative console.

  5. Change to the /cdrom/suncluster_3_1_u1 directory.


    # cd /cdrom/suncluster_3_1_u1

  6. Start the Web Start program.


    # ./installer

  7. Choose Custom installation.

    The utility displays a list of software packages.

  8. Deselect the Sun Cluster Framework package.

  9. Select the Sun Cluster cconsole package.

  10. (Optional) Select the Sun Cluster Documentation package.

    If you do not install the documentation on your administrative console, you can still view an HTML or PDF collection directly from the CD-ROM.

  11. Follow onscreen instructions to continue package installation.

    After installation is finished, you can view any available installation log.

  12. Create an /etc/clusters file on the administrative console.

    Add your cluster name and the physical node name of each cluster node to the file.


    # vi /etc/clusters
clustername node1 node2

    See the /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/clusters(4) man page for details.

  13. Create an /etc/serialports file.

    Add an entry for each node in the cluster to the file. Specify the physical node name, the hostname of the console-access device, and the port number. Examples of a console-access device are a terminal concentrator (TC), a System Service Processor (SSP), and a Sun Fire system controller.

    • For a Sun Fire 15000 system controller, use telnet(1) port number 23 for the serial port number of each entry.

    • For all other console-access devices, use the telnet serial port number, not the physical port number. To determine the telnet serial port number, add 5000 to the physical port number. For example, if a physical port number is 6, the telnet serial port number is 5006.

    • For Sun Enterprise 10000 servers, also see the /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/serialports(4) man page for details and special considerations. 


    # vi /etc/serialports
node1 ca-dev-hostname port
node2 ca-dev-hostname port
    node1, node2

    Physical names of the cluster nodes

    ca-dev-hostname

    Hostname of the console-access device

    port

    Serial port number

  14. (Optional) For convenience, add the PATH to the /opt/SUNWcluster/bin directory and the /opt/SUNWcluster/man directory to the MANPATH on the administrative console.

    If you installed the SUNWscman package, also add the /usr/cluster/man directory to the MANPATH.

  15. Start the CCP utility.


    # /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/ccp &

    Click the cconsole, crlogin, or ctelnet button in the CCP window to launch that tool. Alternately, you can start any of these tools directly. For example, to start ctelnet, type the following command:


    # /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/ctelnet &

    See the procedure “How to Remotely Log In to Sun Cluster” in “Beginning to Administer the Cluster” in Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 System Administration Guide for information about how to use the CCP utility. Also see the ccp(1M) man page.

  16. Is the Solaris operating environment already installed on each cluster node to meet Sun Cluster software requirements?
