Installing the HA for SAP Packages

If you did not install the HA for SAP packages during your initial Oracle Solaris Cluster installation, perform this procedure to install the packages. To install the packages, use the installer program.


Note - You need to install the HA for SAP packages in the global cluster and not in the zone cluster.


How to Install the HA for SAP Packages

Perform this procedure on each cluster node where you are installing the HA for SAP packages.

You can run the installer 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.


Note - Even if you plan to configure this data service to run in non-global zones, install the packages for this data service in the global zone. The packages are propagated to any existing non-global zones and to any non-global zones that are created after you install the packages.


Before You Begin

Ensure that you have the Oracle Solaris Cluster installation media.

If you intend to run the installer program with a GUI, ensure that your DISPLAY environment variable is set.

  1. On the cluster node where you are installing the data service packages, become superuser.
  2. Load the Oracle Solaris Cluster installation media into the DVD-ROM drive.

    If the Volume Management daemon vold(1M) is running and configured to manage DVD-ROM devices, the daemon automatically mounts the DVD-ROM on the /cdrom directory.

  3. Change to the installation wizard directory of the DVD-ROM.
    • If you are installing the data service packages on the SPARC platform, type the following command:
      # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_sparc
    • If you are installing the data service packages on the x86 platform, type the following command:
      # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_x86
  4. Start the installation wizard.
    # ./installer
  5. When you are prompted, accept the license agreement.
  6. From the list of Oracle Solaris Cluster agents under Availability Services, select the data service for SAP.
  7. If you require support for languages other than English, select the option to install multilingual packages.

    English language support is always installed.

  8. When prompted whether to configure the data service now or later, choose Configure Later.

    Choose Configure Later to perform the configuration after the installation.

  9. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the data service packages on the node.

    The installation wizard displays the status of the installation. When the installation is complete, the wizard displays an installation summary and the installation logs.

  10. (GUI only) If you do not want to register the product and receive product updates, deselect the Product Registration option.

    The Product Registration option is not available with the CLI. If you are running the installation wizard with the CLI, omit this step.

  11. Exit the installation wizard.
  12. Unload the installation media from the DVD-ROM drive.
    1. To ensure that the DVD-ROM is not being used, change to a directory that does not reside on the DVD-ROM.
    2. Eject the DVD-ROM.
      # eject cdrom
