Registering and Configuring Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access

This section contains the procedures you need to configure Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access.

How to Register and Configure Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access as a Failover Service

Use this procedure to configure Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access as a failover data service. This procedure assumes that you installed the data service packages during your initial Sun Cluster installation.

If you did not install the Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access packages as part of your initial Sun Cluster installation, go to How to Install the Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access Packages on Sun Cluster 3.x using scinstall.

Otherwise, use this procedure to configure the Sun Cluster HA for SWIFTAlliance Access data service as a failover service. Steps 1 to 6 will normally already be done in order to prepare for the installation of the IBM DCE and SWIFTAlliance Access software. See How to Install and Configure SWIFTAlliance Access. So normally, you should go directly to step 7.

  1. Become superuser on one of the nodes in the cluster that will host Sun Cluster.

  2. Register the SUNW.gds resource type.


    # scrgadm -a -t SUNW.gds
    
  3. Register the SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource type.


    # scrgadm -a -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus
    
  4. Create a failover resource group .


    # scrgadm -a -g swift-rg
    
  5. Create a resource for the Sun Cluster Disk Storage.


    # scrgadm -a -j swift-ds \
    -g swift-rg \
    -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus  \
    -x FilesystemMountPoints=/global/saadg/alliance
    
  6. Create a resource for the Sun Cluster Logical Hostname.


    # scrgadm -a -L -j swift-lh-rs \
    -g swift-rg  \
    -l swift-lh
    
  7. Create a resource for SWIFTAlliance Access.

    The easiest way to do this is to run the registration script provided as part of the SWIFTAlliance Access HA agent. Before running this script, check that the names of the resources match what is configured in /opt/SUNWscsaa/util/saa_config


    # /opt/SUNWscsaa/util/saa_register 
    
  8. Enable the failover resource group that now includes the Sun Cluster Disk Storage and Logical Hostname resources.


    # scswitch -Z -g swift-rg
    
  9. Start the SWIFTAlliance Access instance manually


    su - all_adm
    The GUI will open up. From within the GUI, select the menu
    Alliance - Start Alliance Servers
  10. Stop the SWIFTAlliance Access manually


    su - all_adm
     The GUI will come up. Stop the application from within the GUI. 
  11. Enable each Sun Cluster resource.


    # scstat -g
    # scswitch -e -j Sun Cluster-resource
