cluster cluster_name add_delete_switch

cluster designates whether a cluster is to be added or deleted from the software group that is to be installed on the system.

cluster_name

The name of the cluster that must be in the form SUNWCname.

add_delete_switch

An optional keyword that indicates whether to add or delete the cluster that is specified. Use the value add or delete. If you do not specify add or delete, add is used by default.

When you use cluster during an upgrade, the following conditions apply:

• All clusters that are already on the system are automatically upgraded.

• If you specify cluster_name add, and cluster_name is not installed on the system, the cluster is installed.

• If you specify cluster_name delete, and cluster_name is installed on the system, the package is deleted before the upgrade begins.

If non-global zones are installed, do not use this keyword to upgrade. If this keyword is used, the upgrade continues, but the keyword is ignored.

A software group is a metacluster that contains a collection of clusters and packages. The software group is installed by using the cluster keyword and group_name variable. This cluster keyword can only be installed in an initial installation. This cluster keyword refers to metaclusters found in the clustertoc(4) file.

A cluster is collection of packages. Clusters can be grouped together to form a software group (metacluster). A cluster name is always in the form of SUNW<name>. A cluster is installed by using the cluster keyword and cluster_name variable. A cluster can be added or removed from a software group (metacluster) in an initial install or an upgrade.
