Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 Software Installation Guide

How to Set Up the Root Environment

Perform these tasks on each node in the cluster.

Note –

In a Sun Cluster configuration, user initialization files for the various shells must verify that they are run from an interactive shell before they attempt to output to the terminal. Otherwise, unexpected behavior or interference with data services might occur. See “Customizing a User's Work Environment” in System Administration Guide, Volume 1 (Solaris 8) or “Customizing a User's Work Environment” in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration (Solaris 9) for more information.

  1. Become superuser on a cluster node.

  2. Modify PATH and MANPATH entries in the .cshrc or .profile file.

    1. Set the PATH to include /usr/sbin and /usr/cluster/bin. Also include the following volume-manager-specific paths that apply to your configuration:

      Software Product 

      PATH

      VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) 

      /etc/vx/bin

      VxVM 3.2 GUI  

      /opt/VRTSvmsa/bin

      VxVM 3.5 GUI 

      /opt/VRTSob/bin

      VERITAS File System (VxFS) 

      /opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin, /usr/lib/fs/vxfs/bin, and /etc/fs/vxfs

    2. Set the MANPATH to include /usr/cluster/man. Also include the following volume-manager-specific paths that apply to your configuration:

      Software Product 

      MANPATH

      Solstice DiskSuite/Solaris Volume Manager 

      /usr/share/man

      VxVM 

      /opt/VRTS/man

      VxVM GUI 

      /opt/VRTSvmsa/man

      VxFS 

      /opt/VRTS/man

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

  4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on each remaining cluster node.

  5. Install data-service software packages.
