Sun Java System Calendar Server 6.3 Administration Guide

6.7.1 Initial Tasks

There are two preparatory tasks that must be completed before installing Calendar Server on the nodes.

The preparatory tasks are as follows:

Note –

In various places in the examples, you need to provide the installation directory (cal-svr-base) for each node. For a symmetric HA system, the cal-svr-base is different than the asymmetric HA system. For symmetric HA systems, cal-svr-base has the following format: /opt/node/SUNWics5/cal, where /opt/node is the name of the root directory in which Calendar Server is installed (install-root).

For the purposes of the examples, and to differentiate the installation directories of the two Calendar Server instances, they are designated as cal-svr-baseCS1 and cal-svr-baseCS1.

To differentiate the installation roots for the two Calendar Server instances in this example, they are designated as install-rootCS1 and install-rootCS2:

ProcedureCreating the File Systems

  1. Create six file systems, using either Cluster File Systems (Global File systems) or Fail Over File Systems (Local File systems).

    This example is for Global File Systems. The contents of the /etc/vfstab file should look like the following: (Note that the fields are all tab separated.)

    # Cluster File System/Global File System ##
/dev/md/penguin/dsk/d500  /dev/md/penguin/rdsk/d500  
    /cal-svr-baseCS1  ufs  2  yes  logging,global
/dev/md/penguin/dsk/d400  /dev/md/penguin/rdsk/d400  
    /share-disk-dirCS1  ufs  2  yes  logging,global
/dev/md/polarbear/dsk/d200  /dev/md/polarbear/rdsk/d200  
    /cal-svr-baseCS2  ufs  2  yes  logging,global
/dev/md/polarbear/dsk/d300  /dev/md/polarbear/rdsk/d300
    /share-disk-dirCS2  ufs  2  yes logging,global
/dev/md/polarbear/dsk/d600  /dev/md/polarbear/rdsk/d300 
    /var-cal-dirCS1  ufs  2   yes  logging,global
/dev/md/polarbear/dsk/d700  /dev/md/polarbear/rdsk/d300  
    /var-cal-dirCS2  ufs   2   yes  logging,global

    This example is for the Failover File Systems. The contents of the /etc/vfstab file should look like the following: (Note that the fields are all tab separated.)

    # Failover File System/Local File System ##
/dev/md/penguin/dsk/d500  /dev/md/penguin/rdsk/d500  
    /cal-svr-baseCS1  ufs  2  yes  logging
/dev/md/penguin/dsk/d400  /dev/md/penguin/rdsk/d400  
    /share-disk-dirCS1  ufs  2  yes  logging
/dev/md/polarbear/dsk/d200  /dev/md/polarbear/rdsk/d200 
   /cal-svr-baseCS2  ufs  2  yes  logging
/dev/md/polarbear/dsk/d300  /dev/md/polarbear/rdsk/d300 
    /share-disk-dirCS2  ufs  2  yes  logging
/dev/md/polarbear/dsk/d600  /dev/md/polarbear/rdsk/d300 
    /var-cal-dirCS1  ufs  2   yes  logging
/dev/md/polarbear/dsk/d700  /dev/md/polarbear/rdsk/d300
   /var-cal-dirCS2  ufs  2   yes  logging

  2. Create the following required directories on all nodes of the cluster.

    # mkdir -p /install-rootCS1 share-disk-dirCS1 
     install-rootCS2 share-disk-dirCS2 var-cal-dirCS1 
     var-cal-dirCS2

6.7.1.1 Installing the Calendar Server HA Package

Install the Calendar Server HA package, SUNWscics, on all nodes of the cluster.

This must be done from the Java Enterprise System installer.

For more information about the Java Enterprise System installer, refer to the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation and Configuration Guide.
