Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Sun ONE Directory Server

How to Install Sun ONE Directory Server for Solaris 8

This procedure describes the interaction with the Sun ONE or iPlanetsetup command. Only the sections that are specific to Sun Cluster HA for Sun ONE Directory Server are included here. For the other sections, choose or change the default values as appropriate. This procedure includes only basic steps. See the Sun ONE Directory Server documentation for details.

  1. Become superuser on a cluster member.

  2. Run the setup command from the install directory on the Sun ONE or iPlanet CD.

  3. From setup, choose the menu items to install Sun ONE Directory Server with a custom installation.

    Custom installation allows you to specify the physical hostname for the administrative server. This enables you to access the administrative server whether the logical host is up or down.

  4. For the install location, select a location on the cluster file system, for example, /global/nsldap.

    Note –

    The logical host that you specify must be online on the node from which you run the Sun ONE Directory Server installation. This state is necessary because at the end of the Sun ONE Directory Server installation, Sun ONE Directory Server automatically starts and will fail if the logical host is offline on that node.

  5. Select the network resource along with your domain for the computer name, for example, phys-schost-1.eng.sun.com.

    Supply the hostname that is associated with a network resource when the setup command prompts you for the full server name.

  6. When prompted for the IP address to be used as the Sun ONE Directory Server Administrative Server, specify an IP address for one of the cluster nodes.

As part of the installation, you set up an Sun ONE Directory Server Administrative Server. The IP address that you specify for this server must be that of a physical cluster node, not the name of the logical host that will fail over.

Where to Go From Here

After you configure and activate the network resources, go to How to Configure Sun ONE Directory Server.
