Apache Packages Required for All Sun Cluster Software Installation Methods

SunPlex Manager software requires that Apache software packages already be installed on the node before you install SunPlex Manager. This is true whether you install SunPlex Manager manually or whether it is installed automatically by the interactive scinstall(1M) method or the scinstall JumpStart method. If the Apache software is not installed before SunPlex Manager is installed, you will see a message similar to the following.

NOTICE: To finish installing the SunPlex Manager, you must installthe SUNWapchr and SUNWapchu Solaris packages and any associatedpatches. Then run '/etc/init.d/initspm start' to start the server.

The Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Software Installation Guide procedure "How to Install SunPlex Manager Software" includes a step to ensure that Apache software packages are first installed. However, the procedures "How to Install Sun Cluster Software on the First Cluster Node (scinstall)," "How to Install Sun Cluster Software on Additional Cluster Nodes (scinstall)," and "How to Install Solaris and Sun Cluster Software (JumpStart)" do not include this step.

If you intend to use SunPlex Manager and you use either the interactive scinstall(1M) method or the scinstall JumpStart method to install Sun Cluster software, ensure that Apache software packages are installed on a node before you begin Sun Cluster software installation. See Step 3 of "How to Install SunPlex Manager Software" in the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Software Installation Guide for instructions.
