Sun Cluster 3.0 Installation Guide

How to Install Solstice DiskSuite Software

Perform this task on each node in the cluster.

  1. Become superuser on the cluster node.

  2. If you are installing from the CD-ROM, insert the Solaris 8 Software 2 of 2 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on the node.

    Note -

    Solstice DiskSuite software packages are now located on the Solaris 8 software CD-ROM.

    This step assumes that the Volume Management daemon vold(1M) is running and configured to manage CD-ROM devices.

  3. Install the Solstice DiskSuite software packages.

    Note -

    If you have Solstice DiskSuite software patches to install, do not reboot after installing the Solstice DiskSuite software.

    Install software packages in the order shown in the following example. 


    # cd /cdrom_image/sol_8_sparc_2/Solaris_8/EA/products/DiskSuite_4.2.1/sparc/Packages
# pkgadd -d . SUNWmdr SUNWmdu [SUNWmdx] optional-pkgs

    The SUNWmdr and SUNWmdu packages are required for all Solstice DiskSuite installations. The SUNWmdx package is also required for the 64-bit Solstice DiskSuite installation. Refer to your Solstice DiskSuite installation documentation for information about optional software packages.

  4. If you installed from a CD-ROM, eject the CD-ROM.

  5. If not already installed, install any Solstice DiskSuite patches.

    Refer to Sun Cluster 3.0 Release Notes for the location of patches and installation instructions.

  6. Manually populate the global device namespace for Solstice DiskSuite by running the /usr/cluster/bin/scgdevs command.

  7. If you installed Solstice DiskSuite software patches, shut down the cluster, then reboot each node in the cluster.

    Before rebooting the first node of the cluster, shut down the cluster by using the scshutdown command. Until the cluster nodes are removed from install mode, only the first node, which establishes the cluster (the sponsor node), has a quorum vote. In an established cluster which is still in install mode, if the cluster is not shut down before the first node is rebooted, the remaining cluster nodes cannot obtain quorum and the entire cluster shuts down.

    Cluster nodes remain in install mode until the first time you run the scsetup(1M) command, during the procedure "How to Perform Post-Installation Setup".

Refer to your Solstice DiskSuite installation documentation for complete information about installing Solstice DiskSuite software.
