If you install data services from the Sun Cluster 3.1 4/04 release, you can use the installer program to install the packages. To install data services from an earlier release, follow the procedures in How to Install Data-Service Software Packages (scinstall).
You can run the installer program with a command-line interface (CLI) or with a graphical user interface (GUI). The content and sequence of instructions in the CLI and the GUI are similar. For more information about the installer program, see the installer(1M) man page.
Become superuser on a cluster node.
(Optional) If you intend to use the installer program with a GUI, ensure that the DISPLAY
environment variable is set.
Load the Java Enterprise System Accessory CD 3 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
If the volume management daemon vold(1M) is running and configured to manage CD-ROM devices, the daemon automatically mounts the CD-ROM on the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory.
Change to the directory where the CD-ROM is mounted.
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0 |
Start the installer program.
# ./installer |
When you are prompted, select the type of installation.
When you are prompted, select the locale to install.
Follow instructions on the screen to install the data-service packages on the node.
After the installation is finished, the installer program provides an installation summary. This summary enables you to view logs that the program created during the installation. These logs are located in the /var/sadm/install/logs directory.
Exit the installer program.
Unload the CD–ROM from the CD-ROM drive.
Repeat Step 1 through Step 10 on each remaining cluster node.
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:
Shut down the cluster by using the scshutdown(1M) command.
Reboot each node in the cluster.
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 that you run the scsetup(1M) command, during the procedure How to Perform Postinstallation Setup and Configure Quorum Devices.
Is this a single-node cluster?
If no, perform postinstallation setup and assign quorum votes.
Go to How to Perform Postinstallation Setup and Configure Quorum Devices.
If yes, cluster installation is complete. You are now ready to install volume management software and to configure the cluster.
