How to Install Sun Cluster Software Packages

Perform this procedure to install the Sun Cluster software packages.

1. Ensure that the Solaris operating environment is installed to support Sun Cluster software.

   If Solaris software is already installed on the node, you must ensure that the Solaris installation meets the requirements for Sun Cluster software and any other software that you intend to install on the cluster. See How to Install Solaris Software for more information about installing Solaris software to meet Sun Cluster software requirements.

2. Become superuser on a cluster node to install.

3. Install Sun Cluster framework software packages and Sun Java System data service packages.

   Follow procedures in the Sun Java Enterprise System Installation Guide.

4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on each remaining cluster node to install.

5. Configure Sun Cluster software on the cluster nodes.

   • To establish a new cluster, go to How to Configure Sun Cluster Software on All Nodes (scinstall).

   • To add a new node to an existing cluster, go to How to Configure Sun Cluster Software on Additional Cluster Nodes (scinstall).
