Sun Cluster 3.1 Software Installation Guide

How to Install Cluster Control Panel Software on the Administrative Console

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, plus 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 and/or server, and as an AnswerBook server. See Sun Management Center documentation for information on how to install Sun Management Center software. See “Sun Cluster AnswerBooks Installation” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Release Notes for information on how to install an AnswerBook server.

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.

  1. Ensure that the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 operating environment and any Solaris patches are installed on the administrative console.

    All platforms require Solaris 8 with at least the End User System Support software group.

  2. If you install from the CD-ROM, insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 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 directory.

  3. Change to the /cdrom/suncluster_3_1/SunCluster_3.1/Sol_ver/Packages directory, where ver is 8 (for Solaris 8) or 9 (for Solaris 9) .


    # cd /cdrom/suncluster_3_1/SunCluster_3.1/Sol_ver/Packages

  4. Install the SUNWccon package. 


    # pkgadd -d . SUNWccon

  5. (Optional) Install the SUNWscman package.


    # pkgadd -d . SUNWscman

    When you install the SUNWscman package on the administrative console, you can view Sun Cluster man pages from the administrative console before you install Sun Cluster software on the cluster nodes.

  6. If you installed from a CD-ROM, eject the CD-ROM.

  7. Create an /etc/clusters file.

    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.

  8. 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 (such as a terminal concentrator (TC), System Service Processor (SSP), or Sun Fire system controller), and the port number.

    • 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

  9. For convenience, add the /opt/SUNWcluster/bin directory to the PATH 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.

  10. Start the CCP utility.


    # /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/ccp clustername

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

  11. Install the Solaris operating environment.
