Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS

How to Install SunPlex Manager Software

This procedure describes how to install SunPlex Manager software on your cluster.

Perform this procedure on each node of the cluster.

  1. Ensure that Solaris software and patches are installed on each node of the cluster.

    You must install Solaris software as described in How to Install Solaris Software. Or, if Solaris software is already installed on the node, you must ensure that the Solaris installation meets the requirements for Sun Cluster software. You must also ensure that the installation meets the requirements for any other software that you intend to install on the cluster.

  2. Review the requirements and guidelines in Using SunPlex Installer to Install Sun Cluster Software.

  3. x86: Determine whether you are using the Netscape NavigatorTM browser or the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser on your administrative console.

    • If you are using Netscape Navigator, go to Step 4.

    • If you are using Internet Explorer, go to Step 5.

  4. x86: Ensure that the Java plug-in is installed and working on your administrative console.

    1. Start the Netscape Navigator browser on the administrative console that you use to connect to the cluster.

    2. From the Help menu, choose About Plug-ins.

    3. Determine whether the Java plug-in is listed.

    4. Download the latest Java plug-in from http://java.sun.com/products/plugin.

    5. Install the plug-in on your administrative console.

    6. Create a symbolic link to the plug-in.


      % cd ~/.netscape/plugins/
% ln -s /usr/j2se/plugin/i386/ns4/javaplugin.so .

    7. Skip to Step 6.

  5. x86: Ensure that Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) for Windows is installed and working on your administrative console.

    1. On your Microsoft Windows desktop, click Start, point to Settings, and then select Control Panel.

      The Control Panel window appears.

    2. Determine whether the Java Plug-in is listed.

      • If no, proceed to Step c.

      • If yes, double-click the Java Plug-in control panel. When the control panel window opens, click the About tab.

        • If version 1.4.1 or a later version is shown, skip to Step 6.

        • If an earlier version is shown, proceed to Step c.

    3. Download the latest version of J2SE for Windows from http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html.

    4. Install the J2SE for Windows software on your administrative console.

    5. Restart the system on which your administrative console runs.

      The J2SE for Windows control panel is activated.

  6. Become superuser on a cluster node.

  7. Ensure that Apache software packages are installed on the node.


    # pkginfo SUNWapchr SUNWapchu SUNWapchd

    If necessary, install any missing Apache software packages by performing the following steps.

    1. Insert the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 Software 2 of 2 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the node.

      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/cdrom0/ directory.

    2. Change to the Product/ directory.

      • For Solaris 8, change to the /cdrom/sol_8_sparc/Solaris_8/Product/ directory.


        # cd /cdrom/sol_8_sparc/Solaris_8/Product/

      • For Solaris 9, change to the /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_9/Product/ directory.


        # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_9/Product/

    3. Install the Apache software packages in the order that is shown in this step.


      # pkgadd -d . SUNWapchr SUNWapchu SUNWapchd

    4. Change to a directory that does not reside on the CD-ROM and eject the CD-ROM.


      # eject cdrom

    5. Install any Apache software patches.

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

  8. If not already installed, install the Java Dynamic Management Kit (JDMK) packages.

    These packages are required by Sun Cluster software.

    1. Insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 CD-ROM.

    2. Change to the Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/ directory, where arch is sparc or x86, and where ver is 8 (for Solaris 8) or 9 (for Solaris 9) .


      phys-schost-1# cd Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/

    3. Install the JDMK packages.


      phys-schost-1# pkgadd -d . SUNWjdmk*

    4. Change to a directory that does not reside on the CD-ROM and eject the CD-ROM.


      # eject cdrom

  9. If not already installed, install the security files for the common agent container.

    Perform the following steps to ensure that the common agent container security files are identical on all cluster nodes and that the copied files retain the correct file permissions. These files are required by Sun Cluster software.

    1. On all cluster nodes, stop the security file agent for the common agent container.


      # /opt/SUNWcacao/bin/cacaoadm stop

    2. On one node of the cluster, insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 CD-ROM.

    3. Change to the Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/ directory, where arch is sparc or x86, and where ver is 8 (for Solaris 8) or 9 (for Solaris 9) .


      phys-schost-1# cd Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/

    4. Install the common agent container packages.


      phys-schost-1# pkgadd -d . SUNWcacao*

    5. Change to a directory that does not reside on the CD-ROM and eject the CD-ROM.


      # eject cdrom

    6. Change to the /etc/opt/SUNWcacao/ directory.


      phys-schost-1# cd /etc/opt/SUNWcacao/

    7. Create a tar file of the /etc/opt/SUNWcacao/security/ directory.


      phys-schost-1# tar cf /tmp/SECURITY.tar security

    8. Copy the /tmp/SECURITY.tar file to each of the other cluster nodes.

    9. On each node to which you copied the/tmp/SECURITY.tar file, extract the security files.

      Any security files that already exist in the /etc/opt/SUNWcacao/ directory are overwritten.


      phys-schost-2# cd /etc/opt/SUNWcacao/
phys-schost-2# tar xf /tmp/SECURITY.tar

    10. Delete the /tmp/SECURITY.tar file from each node in the cluster.

      You must delete each copy of the tar file to avoid security risks.


      phys-schost-1# rm /tmp/SECURITY.tar
phys-schost-2# rm /tmp/SECURITY.tar

    11. On all nodes, restart the security file agent.


      phys-schost-1# /opt/SUNWcacao/bin/cacaoadm start

  10. Install Sun Web Console packages.

    These packages are required by Sun Cluster software, even if you do not use Sun Web Console.

    1. Insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

    2. Change to the /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_arch/Product/sun_web_console/2.1/ directory, where arch is sparc or x86.

    3. Run the setup command.


      # ./setup

      The setup command installs all packages to support Sun Web Console.

  11. Install the SunPlex Manager software packages.

    1. Insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the node.

    2. Change to the Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/ directory, where arch is sparc or x86, and where ver is 8 (for Solaris 8) or 9 (for Solaris 9) .


      # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/

    3. Install the SunPlex Manager software packages.


      # pkgadd -d . SUNWscva SUNWscspm SUNWscspmu SUNWscspmr

    4. Change to a directory that does not reside on the CD-ROM and eject the CD-ROM.


      # eject cdrom

  12. Use SunPlex Installer to install and configure Sun Cluster software.
