Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS

How to Set Up the Root Environment

Perform this procedure on each node in the cluster.

Note –

In a Sun Cluster configuration, user initialization files for the various shells must verify that they are run from an interactive shell. The files must verify this before they attempt to output to the terminal. Otherwise, unexpected behavior or interference with data services might occur. See “Customizing a User's Work Environment” in System Administration Guide, Volume 1 (Solaris 8) or “Customizing a User's Work Environment” in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration (Solaris 9) for more information.

  1. Become superuser on a cluster node.

  2. Modify PATH and MANPATH entries in the .cshrc or .profile file.

    1. Set the PATH to include /usr/sbin and /usr/cluster/bin.

      SPARC: If you are using VERITAS Volume Manager and VERITAS File System, also include the following paths that apply to your configuration:

      Software Product 

      PATH

      VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) 

      /etc/vx/bin

      VxVM 3.2 GUI  

      /opt/VRTSvmsa/bin

      VxVM 3.5 GUI 

      /opt/VRTSob/bin

      VERITAS File System (VxFS) 

      /opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin, /usr/lib/fs/vxfs/bin, and /etc/fs/vxfs

    2. Set the MANPATH to include /usr/cluster/man.

      If you are using Solstice DiskSuite/Solaris Volume Manager, VERITAS Volume Manager, or VERITAS File System, also include the paths that apply to your configuration:

      Software Product 

      MANPATH

      Solstice DiskSuite/Solaris Volume Manager 

      /usr/share/man

      SPARC: VxVM 

      /opt/VRTS/man

      SPARC: VxVM GUI 

      /opt/VRTSvmsa/man

      SPARC: VxFS 

      /opt/VRTS/man

  3. (Optional) For ease of administration, set the same root password on each node, if you have not already done so.

  4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on each remaining cluster node.

  5. Install data-service software packages.
