Sun Cluster 3.0 Installation Guide

How to Install Cluster Control Panel Software on the Administrative Console

This procedure describes how to install the Cluster Control Panel (CCP) software on the administrative console. The CCP provides a launchpad for the cconsole(1M), ctelnet(1M), and crlogin(1M) tools. Each of these tools provides a multiple-window connection to a set of nodes, plus a common window that sends input to all nodes at one time.

You can use any desktop machine running the Solaris 8 operating environment as an administrative console. In addition, you can also use the administrative console as a Sun Management Center console and/or server, and as an AnswerBook server. Refer to Sun Management Center documentation for information on installing Sun Management Center software. Refer to Sun Cluster 3.0 Release Notes for information on installing an AnswerBook server.

Note -

You are not required to use an administrative console. If you do not use an administrative console, perform administrative tasks from one designated node in the cluster.

  1. Ensure that the Solaris 8 operating environment and any Solaris patches are installed on the administrative console.

    All platforms require Solaris 8 with at least the End User System Support software group.

  2. If you are installing from the CD-ROM, insert the Sun Cluster 3.0 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the administrative console.

    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/suncluster_3_0 directory.

  3. Change to the /cdrom_image/suncluster_3_0/SunCluster_3.0/Packages directory.


    # cd /cdrom_image/suncluster_3_0/SunCluster_3.0/Packages

  4. Install the SUNWccon package. 


    # pkgadd -d . SUNWccon

  5. (Optional) Install the SUNWscman package.


    # pkgadd -d . SUNWscman

    Installing the SUNWscman package on the administrative console enables you to view Sun Cluster man pages from the administrative console prior to installing Sun Cluster software on the cluster nodes.

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

  7. Create an /etc/clusters file.

    Add your cluster name and the physical node name of each cluster node to the file.


    # vi /etc/clusters
clustername node1 node2

    See the /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/clusters(4) man page for details.

  8. Create an /etc/serialports file.

    Add the physical node name of each cluster node, the terminal concentrator (TC) or System Service Processor (SSP) name, and the serial port numbers to the file.

    Note -

    Use the telnet(1) port numbers, not the physical port numbers, for the serial port numbers in the /etc/serialports file. Determine the serial port number by adding 5000 to the physical port number. For example, if a physical port number is 6, the serial port number should be 5006. 


    # vi /etc/serialports
node1 TC_hostname 500n
node2 TC_hostname 500n

    See the /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/serialports(4) man page for details and special considerations for the Sun Enterprise E10000 server.

  9. For convenience, add the /opt/SUNWcluster/bin directory to the PATH and the /opt/SUNWcluster/man directory to the MANPATH on the administrative console.

    If you installed the SUNWscman package, also add the /usr/cluster/man directory to the MANPATH.

  10. Start the CCP utility.


    # /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/ccp clustername

    Refer to the procedure "How to Remotely Log In to Sun Cluster" in Sun Cluster 3.0 System Administration Guide and the /opt/SUNWcluster/bin/ccp(1M) man page for information about using the CCP.
