This procedure enables the Geographic Edition infrastructure on the local cluster only. Repeat this procedure on all the clusters of your geographically separated cluster.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the following conditions are met:
The cluster is running the Oracle Solaris Operating System and Oracle Solaris Cluster software.
If you want to use the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager GUI to administer Geographic Edition components, ensure that all cluster nodes have the same root password.
The Oracle Solaris Cluster management-agent container for Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager is running.
Geographic Edition software is installed.
The cluster has been configured for secure cluster communication by using security certificates, that is, nodes within the same cluster must share the same security certificates. This is configured during Oracle Solaris Cluster installation.
# cluster list
For global clusters, if the cluster name is not the name that you want to use, change the cluster name with the following command:
# cluster rename -c newclustername clustername
Specifies the new cluster name.
The cluster whose name you are changing.
For more information, see the cluster (1CL) man page.
The local hosts file, hosts, is located in the /etc/inet directory.
# geoadm start
The geoadm start command enables the Geographic Edition infrastructure on the local cluster only. For more information, see the geoadm (1M) man page.
# geoadm show # clresourcegroup status geo-clusterstate geo-infrastructure # clresource status -g geo-clusterstate,geo-infrastructure
The output for the geoadm show command displays that the Geographic Edition infrastructure is active from a particular node in the cluster.
The output for the clresourcegroup status and clresource status commands display that the geo-failovercontrol, geo-hbmonitor, and geo-clustername resources and the geo-infrastructure resource group is online on one node of the cluster. The geo-clusterstate resource group is online on both nodes.
For more information, see the clresourcegroup (1CL) and clresource (1CL) man pages.
This example enables Geographic Edition software on the cluster-paris cluster.
Start the Geographic Edition infrastructure on cluster-paris.
phys-paris-1# geoadm start
Ensure that the Geographic Edition infrastructure was successfully enabled.
phys-paris-1# geoadm show --- CLUSTER LEVEL INFORMATION --- Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition is active on cluster-paris from node phys-paris-1 Command execution successful phys-paris-1#
Verify the status of the Geographic Edition resource groups and resources.
