Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 Software Installation Guide

How to Preinstall Sun Cluster Software Packages

Perform the following procedure to use the Web Start program to install the Sun Cluster software packages on each node of the cluster. You can run the Web Start program with a command-line interface (CLI) or with a graphical-user interface (GUI). The content and sequence of instructions in both the CLI and the GUI are generally the same. See the installer(1M) man page for more information about the Web Start installation program.

Note –

If you enable remote shell (rsh(1M)) or secure shell (ssh(1)) access for superuser to all cluster nodes, you do not have to perform these procedures. The scinstall utility automatically installs Sun Cluster framework software on all cluster nodes.

However, if you need to install any Sun Cluster software packages in addition to the framework software, install the packages from the Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 CD-ROM. Do this task before you start the scinstall utility. You can install these additional Sun Cluster packages by using the pkgadd(1M) command or by using the Web Start program.

  1. Ensure that the Solaris operating environment is installed to support Sun Cluster software.

    If Solaris software is already installed on the node, you must ensure that the Solaris installation meets the requirements for Sun Cluster software and any other software that you intend to install on the cluster. See How to Install Solaris Software for more information about installing Solaris software to meet Sun Cluster software requirements.

  2. Become superuser on a cluster node to install.

  3. (Optional) If you intend to use the Web Start program with a GUI, ensure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set.

  4. Insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

    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_1_u1 directory.

  5. Change to the root directory of the CD-ROM, where the installer(1M) utility resides.

  6. Start the Web Start program.


    # ./installer

  7. Choose Typical or Custom installation.

    • Choose Typical to preinstall the default set of Sun Cluster framework software packages.

    • Choose Custom to specify the Sun Cluster software packages to preinstall. The nondefault software packages include packages that support other languages, the RSMAPI, and SCI-PCI adapters.

  8. Follow instructions on the screen to install Sun Cluster software on the node.

    After installation is finished, you can view any available installation log.

  9. Repeat Step 1 through Step 8 on each remaining cluster node to install.

  10. Install Sun Cluster software on the cluster nodes.
