Installing and Administering N1 Grid Console - Container Manager 1.0

Setting Up Container Manager Software

After installation is complete, you must run the Container Manager setup wizard to configure the server and agent layers. As with installation of the software, you can run the set up process at the time you setup the Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1 installation or upgrade. You can also set up the software individually at a later time.

These configuration files are created in the following locations during the setup process:

If the /etc/pooladm.conf file already exists on a host, a backup of the existing file is created. This backup of the original file is named /etc/pooladm.conf.scmbak. If an active configuration exists on a host, all processor sets that are not associated with a resource pool are removed. The scheduling class for the resource pools is then set to fair share scheduler (FSS). Finally, the new configuration is committed and is stored in /etc/pooladm.conf.

If an active configuration does not exist on a host, a new configuration is discovered and stored in /etc/pooladm.conf. This discovered configuration is committed to make it active. The default pool scheduling class is set to FSS.

If the extended accounting files are active on a host at the time of set up, then they remain the same. If the files are not active, they are then configured and activated. During configuration, the extending accounting file name is set to /var/adm/exacct/tasktimestamp.

Additionally, during the set up process the following changes are made to the host by the software:

For more information about resource pools, scheduling classes, and extended accounting, as well as other standard Solaris resource management concepts, see System Administration Guide: Resource Management and Network Services.

Caution – Caution –

Standard Solaris software resource management command line commands are not supported by Container Manager. Use the Container Manager GUI to manage the software.

To Set Up Container Manager During Sun Management Center Installation or Upgrade

  1. For more information and detailed steps, see “Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Setup” in Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.

To Set Up Container Manager Individually

  1. As superuser (su –), launch the Sun Management Center setup wizard by typing:


    # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-guisetup

    where /opt is the directory in which Container Manager is installed. Substitute the name of the actual directory if it is different on your system.

    The Container Manager setup wizard appears and guides you through the setup process for the software. The Overview panel appears first. Click the Next button to move through the wizard. Use the Back button to make corrections by moving back through the wizard.

    Note –

    If you have installed more than one Sun Management Center add-on product, the setup wizard for each product appears automatically. Each wizard guides you through the setup process for its add-on product. Each new setup wizard appears automatically after the setup process is completed for the previous add-on product. The setup wizard for the Container Manager software might not be the first to appear.

  2. Review the list in the Stopping Components panel.

    The Sun Management Center components must be stopped before the setup process can continue. The Advanced Setup Options panel appears if you have completed the setup process for some of the add-on products installed. The remaining add-on software can be setup now.

  3. Select from the following options:

    • Reconfigure All – The setup process is run again for the base Sun Management Center software and all add-on software. All the Sun Management Center software that was previously setup is set up again.

    • Configure Addons – The add-on software that was recently installed but not yet setup is now set up.

    • Re-create the Sun Management Center Database

  4. Review the list of products in the Setup Complete panel.

    The Select Add-on Products panel appears. All products newly installed on the system that will be set up are listed. You can also run setup again on any product that was previously been set up.

  5. Review the list of products to confirm that Container Manager appears as a product to be set up. Click Next to start the set up process.

    A progress panel appears while all components are being set up.

  6. When setting up the agent layer, if processor sets are detected that are not associated with a resource pool, a panel appears requesting permission to delete these sets. Please select from the following options:

    • Yes – These processor sets will be deleted from the system. In order for Container Manager to function correctly, any processor set that is not associated with a resource pool must be removed. This removal is necessary because projects need to be associated with the pools. After this selection, these processor sets are automatically deleted for you, and the setup process continues.

    • No – These processor sets will not be deleted from the system. After this selection, the setup wizard exits and the Container Manager software is not set up on the system. You are unable to use the Container Manager software on any host that has processor sets that are not associated with a resource pool.

    • Cancel – The setup wizard exits. The Container Manager software is not set up on the system.

  7. When setting up a server layer installation, provide the full path to a directory that has at least 300 Mbytes free disk space for the database and click Next.

  8. Once the progress bar in the Container Manager DB Configuration panel completes, click Next.

  9. To invoke the Start Wizard, click Next.

Once the setup procedure is complete, you have the option to start the Sun Management Center processes. For more information, see “Starting and Stopping Sun Management Center” in Sun Management Center 3.5 Installation and Configuration Guide.
