Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 Release Notes for Solaris OS

Software Installation Guide

This section discusses errors and omissions from the Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS.

Installing Sun Cluster Software Packages

In the Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS, the procedure How to Install Sun Cluster Software Packages in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS incorrectly documents the location of the installer program on the base CD-ROM. The procedure documents the installer program as being at the CD-ROM mount point directory level. Instead, the installer program is located in the Solaris_sparc/Product/sun_cluster/ directory of the SPARC CD-ROM and in the Solaris_x86/Product/sun_cluster/ directory of the x86 CD-ROM.

Installing Software on the Administrative Console (5106436)

The procedure How to Install Cluster Control Panel Software on an Administrative Console in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS contains the following unnecessary steps and one inaccuracy:

You do not need to use the pkgadd command to install the Cluster Control Panel package SUNWccon or to install the documentation packages. You can pick these packages from the list provided by the installer program. Ignore Step 12 and Step 14 of the procedure.
You do need to use the pkgadd command to install the man page package, SUNWscman. The installer program does not include that package in the list of software packages that it can install. Ignore Step 9 of the procedure.

IPv6 Addresses Are Not Supported on Solaris 8 for Scalable Data Services

The section Public Networks in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS states, “Sun Cluster software supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the public network, both for failover and scalable data services.” This statement is not correct for Sun Cluster software for Solaris 8. Sun Cluster software for Solaris 8 supports a failover data service to run on an IPv6 address, but does not support a scalable data service to run on an IPv6 address. Sun Cluster software for Solaris 8 continues to support IPv4 addresses for both failover and scalable data services.

Instructions are Incorrect to Configure an Upgraded Sun Cluster HA for SAP liveCache Data Service (5099196)

The procedure How to Finish a Nonrolling Upgrade to Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 Software in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS incorrectly instructs you to edit the /opt/SUNWsclc/livecache/bin/lccluster file if you upgraded the Sun Cluster HA for SAP liveCache data service from the Sun Cluster 3.0 version to the 3.1 version. Do not perform the instruction to edit the /opt/SUNWsclc/livecache/bin/lccluster file. This file is only a template that is installed with the data service and should not be edited in that location. Instead, perform the following steps:

After upgrade to the Sun Cluster 3.1 version of Sun Cluster HA for SAP liveCache, go to a node that will host the liveCache resource.
Copy the new /opt/SUNWsclc/livecache/bin/lccluster file to the /sapdb/LC_NAME/db/sap/ directory, overwriting the lccluster file that already exists from the previous configuration of the data service.
Configure this /sapdb/LC_NAME/db/sap/lccluster file as documented in Step 3 of How to Register and Configure Sun Cluster HA for SAP liveCache in Sun Cluster Data Service for SAP liveCache Guide for Solaris OS.
