How to Update the Root Environment

Perform the following tasks on each node of the cluster.

In a Sun Cluster configuration, user initialization files for the various shells must verify that they are run from an interactive shell before attempting to output to the terminal. Otherwise, unexpected behavior or interference with data services might occur. See the Solaris system administration documentation for more information on customizing a user's work environment.

1. Become superuser on a cluster node.

2. Modify the .cshrc file PATH and MANPATH entries.

   1. Set the PATH to include /usr/sbin and /usr/cluster/bin.

      • For VERITAS Volume Manager, also set your PATH to include /etc/vx/bin. If you installed the VRTSvmsa package, also add /opt/VRTSvmsa/bin to your PATH.

      • For VERITAS File System, also set your PATH to include /opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin, /usr/lib/fs/vxfs/bin, and /etc/fs/vxfs.

   2. Set the MANPATH to include /usr/cluster/man. Also include the volume manager-specific paths.

      • For Solstice DiskSuite software, also set your MANPATH to include /usr/share/man.

      • For VERITAS Volume Manager, also set your MANPATH to include /opt/VRTSvxvm/man. If you installed the VRTSvmsa package, also add /opt/VRTSvmsa/man to your MANPATH.

      • For VERITAS File System, also add /opt/VRTS/man to your MANPATH.

3. (Optional) For ease of administration, set the same root password on each node, if you have not already done so.

4. Start a new shell to activate the environment changes.

5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 on the other node.

6. Upgrade to Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 data service software.
