Sun Cluster Data Service for Samba Guide for Solaris OS

Installing the Sun Cluster HA for Samba Packages

If you did not install the Sun Cluster HA for Samba packages during your Sun Cluster installation, perform this procedure to install the packages. Perform this procedure on each cluster node where you are installing the Sun Cluster HA for Samba packages. To complete this procedure, you need the Sun Cluster Agents CD-ROM.

If you are installing more than one data service simultaneously, perform the procedure in Installing the Software in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS.

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


Note –

If you are using Solaris 10, install these packages only in the global zone. To ensure that these packages are not propagated to any local zones that are created after you install the packages, use the scinstall utility to install these packages. Do not use the Web Start program.


ProcedureHow to Install the Sun Cluster HA for Samba 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.

Steps
  1. On the cluster node where you are installing the Sun Cluster HA for Samba packages, become superuser.

  2. (Optional) If you intend to run the Web Start program with a GUI, ensure that your DISPLAY environment variable is set.

  3. Insert the Sun Cluster Agents CD-ROM 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/cdrom0 directory.

  4. Change to the Sun Cluster HA for Samba component directory of the CD-ROM.

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


    # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/components/SunCluster_HA_Samba_3.1
    
  5. Start the Web Start program.


    # ./installer
    
  6. When you are prompted, select the type of installation.

    • To install only the C locale, select Typical.

    • To install other locales, select Custom.

  7. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the Sun Cluster HA for Samba packages on the node.

    After the installation is finished, the Web Start program provides an installation summary. This summary enables you to view logs that the Web Start program created during the installation. These logs are located in the /var/sadm/install/logs directory.

  8. Exit the Web Start program.

  9. Remove the Sun Cluster Agents CD-ROM 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
      

ProcedureHow to Install the Sun Cluster HA for Samba Packages using the scinstall Utility

Use this procedure to install the Sun Cluster HA for Samba packages by 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 Samba packages as part of your initial Sun Cluster installation, proceed to Registering and Configuring Sun Cluster HA for Samba.

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

Steps
  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.
