Follow this procedure to use the Sun JavaTM Enterprise System (Java ES) installer program to perform one or more of the following installation tasks:
To install the Sun Cluster framework software packages on each node in the cluster.
To install Sun Cluster framework software on the master node that you will flash archive for a JumpStart installation. See How to Install Solaris and Sun Cluster Software (JumpStart) for more information about JumpStart installation of a cluster.
To install data services.
For the Solaris 10 OS, this procedure installs data services only to the global zone. To install data services to be visible only from within a certain non-global zone, see How to Create a Non-Global Zone on a Cluster Node.
This procedure uses the interactive form of the installer program. To use the noninteractive form of the installer program, such as when developing installation scripts, see Chapter 5, Installing in Silent Mode, in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Guide for UNIX.
Perform the following tasks:
Ensure that the Solaris OS 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.
Have available the Sun Java Availability Suite DVD-ROM.
(Optional) To use the installer program with a GUI, ensure that the display environment of the cluster node to install is set to display the GUI.
% xhost + % setenv DISPLAY nodename:0.0 |
If you do not make these settings, the installer program runs in text-based mode.
Become superuser on the cluster node to install.
Load the Sun Java Availability Suite DVD-ROM into the DVD-ROM drive.
If the volume management daemon vold(1M) is running and is configured to manage CD-ROM or DVD devices, the daemon automatically mounts the media on the /cdrom/cdrom0/ directory.
Change to the installation wizard directory of the DVD-ROM.
If you are installing the software packages on the SPARC platform, type the following command:
phys-schost# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_sparc |
If you are installing the software packages on the x86 platform, type the following command:
phys-schost# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_x86 |
Start the installation wizard program.
phys-schost# ./installer |
See the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Guide for UNIX for additional information about using the different forms and features of the Java ES installer program.
Follow instructions on the screen to install Sun Cluster framework software and data services on the node.
If you do not want to install Sun Cluster Manager, formerly SunPlex Manager, deselect it.
You must install Sun Cluster Manager either on all nodes of the cluster or on none.
If you want to install Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software, select it.
After the cluster is established, see Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Installation Guide for further installation procedures.
Choose Configure Later when prompted whether to configure Sun Cluster framework software.
After installation is finished, you can view any available installation log.
Install additional packages to use any of the following features.
Remote Shared Memory Application Programming Interface (RSMAPI)
SCI-PCI adapters for the interconnect transport
RSMRDT drivers
Use of the RSMRDT driver is restricted to clusters that run an Oracle9i Release 2 SCI configuration with RSM enabled. Refer to Oracle9i Release 2 user documentation for detailed installation and configuration instructions.
Determine which packages you must install.
The following table lists the Sun Cluster 3.2 packages that each feature requires, in the order in which you must install each group of packages. The Java ES installer program does not automatically install these packages.
Install packages in the order in which they are listed in the following table.
Feature |
Additional Sun Cluster 3.2 Packages to Install |
---|---|
RSMAPI |
SUNWscrif |
SCI-PCI adapters |
|
RSMRDT drivers |
SUNWscrdt |
Change to the Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/ directory, where arch is sparc or x86 (Solaris 10 only), and where ver is 9 for Solaris 9 or 10 for Solaris 10 .
phys-schost# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/ |
Install the additional packages.
Unload the Sun Java Availability Suite DVD-ROM from the DVD-ROM drive.
Apply any necessary patches to support Sun Cluster software.
See Patches and Required Firmware Levels in Sun Cluster 3.2 Release Notes for Solaris OS for the location of patches and installation instructions.
If you want to install Sun StorEdge QFS file system software, follow the procedures for initial installation in the Sun StorEdge QFS Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Otherwise, to set up the root user environment, go to How to Set Up the Root Environment.
