Installing the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP Packages

If you did not install the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP packages during your initial Sun Cluster installation, perform this procedure. Perform this procedure on each cluster node where you are installing the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP packages. To complete this procedure, you need the Sun Java Enterprise System Accessory CD Volume 3.

If you are installing more than one data service simultaneously, perform the procedure in “Installing the Software” in Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 Software Installation Guide.

Install the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP packages by using one of the following installation tools:

• Web Start program

• scinstall utility

The Web Start program is not available in releases earlier than Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Services 10/03.

How to Install the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP Packages Using the Web Start Program

You can run the Web Start program with a command-line interface (CLI) or with a graphical user interface (GUI). The content and sequence of instructions in the CLI and the GUI are similar. For more information about the Web Start program, see the installer(1M) man page.

If you are working at a machine that is remotely connected to the machine where the CD-ROM is loaded, be careful. If you intend to run the Web Start program with a GUI, ensure that your DISPLAY environment variable is set. Otherwise, the Web Start program runs with the CLI.

1. Become superuse on the cluster node where you are installing the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP packages.

2. Load the Sun Java Enterprise System Accessory CD Volume 3 into the CD-ROM drive.

   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/scdataservices_3_1_vc directory.

3. Change to the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP component directory of the CD-ROM.

   The Web Start program for the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP data service resides in this directory.

   # cd /cdrom/scdataservices_3_1_vc/components/SunCluster_HA_DHCP_3.1

4. Start the Web Start program.

   # ./installer

5. When you are prompted, select the type of installation.

   • To install only the C locale, select Typical.

   • To install other locales, select Custom.

6. Follow instructions on the screen to install the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP packages on the node.

   After the installation is finished, the Web Start program provides an installation summary. You can view logs that the Web Start program created in the /var/sadm/install/logs directory.

7. Exit the Web Start program.

8. Unload the Sun Java Enterprise System Accessory CD Volume 3 from the CD-ROM drive.

   1. To ensure that the CD-ROM is not being used, change to a directory that does not reside on the CD-ROM.

   2. Eject the CD-ROM.

      # eject cdrom

How to Install the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP Packages using the scinstall utility

You need the Sun Cluster Agents CD-ROM to perform this procedure. This procedure assumes that you did not install the data service packages during your initial Sun Cluster installation.

If you installed the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP packages as part of your initial Sun Cluster installation, proceed to Registering and Configuring Sun Cluster HA for DHCP.

Otherwise, use this procedure to install the Sun Cluster HA for DHCP packages. Perform this procedure on all nodes that can run Sun Cluster HA for DHCP.

1. Load the Sun Cluster Agents CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Run the scinstall utility with no options.

   This step starts the scinstall utility in interactive mode.

3. Choose the menu option, Add Support for New Data Service to This Cluster Node.

   The scinstall utility prompts you for additional information.

4. Provide the path to the Sun Cluster Agents CD-ROM.

   The utility refers to the CD as the “data services cd.”

5. Specify the data service to install.

   The scinstall utility lists the data service that you selected and asks you to confirm your choice.

6. Exit the scinstall utility.

7. Unload the CD from the drive.
