Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 Software Installation Guide

How to Install Data-Service Software Packages (scinstall)

Perform this task on each cluster node to install data services. If you install data services from the Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 Data Services release, you can also use the Web Start program to install the packages. See How to Install Data-Service Software Packages (Web Start).

Note –

You do not need to perform this procedure if you used SunPlex Manager to install Sun Cluster HA for NFS or Sun Cluster HA for Apache, or both, and if you do not intend to install any other data services. Instead, go to How to Perform Postinstallation Setup.

  1. Become superuser on a cluster node.

  2. Insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 Agents CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on the node.

  3. Change to the directory where the CD-ROM is mounted.


    # cd cdrom-mount-point

  4. Start the scinstall(1 M) utility.


    # scinstall

    Follow these guidelines to use the interactive scinstall utility.

    • Interactive scinstall enables you to type ahead. Therefore, do not press Return more than once if the next menu screen does not appear immediately.

    • Unless otherwise noted, you can press Control-D to return to either the start of a series of related questions or the Main Menu.

  5. To add data services, type 3 (Add support for new data services to this cluster node).

  6. Follow the prompts to select all data services to install.

    You must install the same set of data-service packages on each node. This requirement applies even if a node is not expected to host resources for an installed data service.

  7. After the data services are installed, exit the scinstall utility.

  8. Unload the Sun Cluster 3.1 Agents CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive.

    1. To ensure that the CD-ROM is not being used, change to a directory that does not reside on the CD-ROM.

    2. Eject the CD-ROM.


      # eject cdrom

  9. Repeat Step 1 through Step 8 on each cluster node where you are installing data services.

  10. Install any Sun Cluster data-service patches.

    See “Patches and Required Firmware Levels” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Release Notes for the location of patches and installation instructions.

    You do not have to reboot after you install Sun Cluster data-service patches unless a reboot is specified by the patch special instructions. If a patch instruction requires that you reboot, perform the following steps:

    1. Shut down the cluster by using the scshutdown(1M) command.

    2. Reboot each node in the cluster.

    Note –

    Until cluster installation mode is disabled, only the first-installed node, which established the cluster, has a quorum vote. In an established cluster which is still in installation mode, if the cluster is not shut down before the first-installed node is rebooted, the remaining cluster nodes cannot obtain quorum. The entire cluster then shuts down. Cluster nodes remain in installation mode until the first time you run the scsetup(1M) command, during the procedure How to Perform Postinstallation Setup.

  11. Perform postinstallation setup and assign quorum votes.

    Go to How to Perform Postinstallation Setup.
