How to Install Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters Packages With VxVM

To complete this procedure, you need the Sun Cluster 3.1 CD-ROM. Perform this procedure on all of the cluster nodes that can run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters.

Due to the preparation that is required prior to installation, the scinstall(1M) utility does not support automatic installation of the data service packages.

1. Load the Sun Cluster 3.1 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Become superuser.

3. Change the current working directory to the directory that contains the packages for the version of the Solaris operating environment that you are using.

   • If you are using Solaris 8, run the following command:

     # cd /cdrom/suncluster_3_1/SunCluster_3.1/Sol_8/Packages

   • If you are using Solaris 9, run the following command:

     # cd /cdrom/suncluster_3_1/SunCluster_3.1/Sol_9/Packages

4. On all of the nodes, run the following command to install the data service packages.

   # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr SUNWcvmr SUNWcvm

Before you reboot the nodes, you must ensure that you have correctly installed and configured the Oracle UDLM software (How to Install the Oracle UDLM Software). Also verify that you have correctly installed your volume manager packages. If you use VxVM, check that you have installed the software and that the license for the VxVM cluster feature is valid. Otherwise, a panic will occur.
