Adding Cluster Transport Adapters

This section provides the procedure for adding cluster transport adapters to a running cluster.

For conceptual information on cluster transport adapters, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 Concepts document.

How to Add Cluster Transport Adapters

1. Shut down the node in which you are installing the cluster transport adapter.

   # scswitch -S -h nodename # shutdown -y -g0 -i0

   For the procedure on shutting down a node, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 U1 System Administration Guide.

2. Power off the node.

   For the procedure on powering off a node, see the documentation that shipped with your node.

3. Install the cluster transport adapter.

   This procedure is the same as the procedure in a non-cluster environment. For the procedure on installing network adapters, see the documentation that shipped with your network adapter and node hardware.

4. Power on and boot the node.

   # boot -r

   For the procedures on powering on and booting a node, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 U1 System Administration Guide.

Where to Go From Here

If the cluster transport adapter you add appears in the Sun Cluster software configuration, and you want to reconfigure Sun Cluster with the new cluster transport adapter, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 U1 System Administration Guide.
