Sun Cluster 3.1 Software Installation Guide

How to Install Data Service Software Packages

Perform this task on each cluster node.

Note –

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

  1. Become superuser on a cluster node.

  2. If you install from the CD-ROM, insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 Agents CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on the node.

  3. Start the scinstall(1M) 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 to the Main Menu.

  4. To add data services, type 4 (Add support for a new data service to this cluster node).

    Follow the prompts to select all data services to install.

    Note –

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

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

  6. 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, first shut down the cluster by using the scshutdown(1M) command, then reboot the each node in the cluster.

    Note –

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

  7. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 on each remaining cluster node.

  8. Perform post-installation setup and assign quorum votes.

    Go to How to Perform Post-Installation Setup.
