Software Installation Guide

This section discusses known errors or omissions from the Sun Cluster 3.1 Software Installation Guide.

Quorum-Device Connection

In the Sun Cluster 3.1 Software Installation Guide, the following statement about quorum devices is incorrect:

Connection - Do not connect a quorum device to more than two nodes.

The statement should instead read as follows:

Connection – You must connect a quorum device to at least two nodes.

Node Authentication For scvxinstall Is Not Required

When you use the scvxinstall command to install VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM), it is no longer necessary to first add the node to the cluster node authentication list. When you perform the procedures in “How to Install VERITAS Volume Manager Software and Encapsulate the Root Disk“ or “How to Install VERITAS Volume Manager Software Only“, ignore Step 3, “Add all nodes in the cluster to the cluster node authentication list.”

Upgrade Procedure Refers to Unavailable scsetup Functionality

In “How to Prepare the Cluster for Upgrade” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Software Installation Guide, the procedure states that, if you are upgrading from Sun Cluster 3.0 5/02 software, you can use the scsetup utility to disable resources rather than use the scswitch command. This statement is incorrect and should be ignored.
