Installing Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters Packages

If you did not install the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters packages during your initial Sun Cluster installation, perform this procedure to install the packages. Perform this procedure on all of the cluster nodes that can run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters. To complete this procedure, you need the Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 CD-ROM.

Install the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters packages by using one of the following installation tools:

• The Web Start program

• The pkgadd utility

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

How to Install the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters Packages by Using the Web Start Program

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. On the cluster node where you are installing the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters packages, become superuser.

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

3. Load 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.

4. Change to the root directory of the CD-ROM.

   The Web Start program resides in this directory.

   # cd /cdrom/suncluster_3_1_u1

5. Start the Web Start program.

   # ./installer

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

7. When you are prompted, select the component of Sun Cluster support to install.

   The component to install depends on the storage management scheme that you are using.

   • If you are using VxVM with the cluster feature, select Sun Cluster Oracle OPS/RAC Veritas VxVM Support.

   • If you are using hardware RAID support, select Sun Cluster Oracle OPS/RAC Hardware RAID Support.

   • If you are using the cluster file system, select Sun Cluster Oracle OPS/RAC Base Support.

8. Ensure that no other components are selected.

9. Follow instructions on the screen to install the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters 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 Web Start program created during the installation. These logs are located in the /var/sadm/install/logs directory.

10. Exit the Web Start program.

11. Unload the Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 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

How to Install Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters Packages by Using the pkgadd Utility

1. Load the Sun Cluster 3.1 10/03 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_u1/SunCluster_3.1/Sol_8/Packages

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

     # cd /cdrom/suncluster_3_1_u1/SunCluster_3.1/Sol_9/Packages

4. On each cluster node that can run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters, transfer the contents of the required software packages from the CD-ROM to the node.

   The required software packages depend on the storage management scheme that you are using.

   • If you are using VxVM with the cluster feature, run the following command:

     # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr SUNWcvmr SUNWcvm

   • If you are using hardware RAID support, run the following command:

     # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr SUNWschwr

   • If you are using the cluster file system, run the following command:

     # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr

Before you reboot the nodes, you must ensure that you have correctly installed and configured the Oracle UDLM software. For more information, see Installing the Oracle UDLM. Also verify that you have correctly installed your volume manager packages. If you plan to use VxVM, check that you have installed the software and check that the license for the VxVM cluster feature is valid. Otherwise, a panic will occur.
