Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Network File System (NFS)

Installing Sun Cluster HA for NFS Packages

Use the scinstall(1M) utility to install the data service package, SUNWscnfs, on the cluster.

If you installed the SUNWscnfs data service package during your initial Sun Cluster installation, proceed to Registering and Configuring Sun Cluster HA for NFS. Otherwise, use the following procedure to install the SUNWscnfs package.

How to Install Sun Cluster HA for NFS Packages

You need the Sun Cluster Agents CD-ROM to complete this procedure. Perform this procedure on all of the cluster nodes that can run Sun Cluster HA for NFS.

  1. Load the Sun Cluster Agents CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

  2. Run the scinstall utility with no options.

    This step starts the scinstall utility in interactive mode.

  3. Choose the menu option, Add Support for New Data Service to This Cluster Node.

    The scinstall utility prompts you for additional information.

  4. Provide the path to the Sun Cluster Agents CD-ROM.

    The utility refers to the CD as the “data services cd.”

  5. Specify the data service to install.

    The scinstall utility lists the data service that you selected and asks you to confirm your choice.

  6. Exit the scinstall utility.

  7. Unload the CD from the drive.
