Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 Software Installation Guide

How to Install Data-Service Software Packages (Web Start)

If you install data services from the Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 Data Services release, you can use the Web Start program to install the packages. To install data services from a an earlier release, follow the procedures in How to Install Data-Service Software Packages (scinstall).

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 the CLI and the GUI are similar. For more information about the Web Start program, see the installer(1M) man page.

  1. Become superuser on a cluster node.

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

  3. Load the Sun Cluster 3.1 Agents CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

    If the Volume Management daemon vold(1M) is running and is configured to manage CD-ROM devices, the daemon automatically mounts the CD-ROM on the /cdrom/suncluster_3_1_u1 directory.

  4. Change to the directory where the CD-ROM is mounted.


    # cd cdrom-mount-point

  5. Start the Web Start program.


    # ./installer

  6. When you are prompted, select the type of installation.

    • To install all data services on the CD-ROM, select Typical.

    • To install only a subset of the data services on the CD-ROM, select Custom.

  7. When you are prompted, select the locale to install.

    • To install only the C locale, select Typical.

    • To install other locales, select Custom.

  8. Follow instructions on the screen to install the data-service packages on the node.

    After the installation is finished, the Web Start program provides an installation summary. This summary enables you to view logs that the program created during the installation. These logs are located in the /var/sadm/install/logs directory.

  9. Exit the Web Start program.

  10. Unload the Sun Cluster 3.1 Agents CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive.

    1. To ensure that the CD-ROM is not being used, change to a directory that does not reside on the CD-ROM.

    2. Eject the CD-ROM.


      # eject cdrom

  11. Repeat Step 1 through Step 10 on each remaining cluster node.

  12. Install any Sun Cluster data-service patches.

    See “Patches and Required Firmware Levels” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Release Notes for the location of patches and installation instructions.

    You do not have to reboot after you install Sun Cluster data-service patches unless a reboot is specified by the patch special instructions. If a patch instruction requires that you reboot, perform the following steps:

    1. Shut down the cluster by using the scshutdown(1M) command.

    2. Reboot each node in the cluster.

    Note –

    Until cluster installation mode is disabled, only the first-installed node, which established the cluster, has a quorum vote. In an established cluster which is still in installation mode, if the cluster is not shut down before the first-installed node is rebooted, the remaining cluster nodes cannot obtain quorum. The entire cluster then shuts down. Cluster nodes remain in installation mode until the first time you run the scsetup(1M) command, during the procedure How to Perform Postinstallation Setup.

  13. Perform postinstallation setup and assign quorum votes.

    Go to How to Perform Postinstallation Setup.
