Installing the Sun Cluster HA for NFS Packages

If you did not install the Sun Cluster HA for NFS packages during your initial Sun Cluster installation, perform this procedure to install the packages. To install the packages, use the Sun Java Enterprise System Common Installer.

How to Install the Sun Cluster HA for NFS Packages

Perform this procedure on each cluster node where you are installing the Sun Cluster HA for NFS packages.

You can run the Sun Java Enterprise System Common Installer with a command-line interface (CLI) or with a graphical user interface (GUI). The content and sequence of instructions in the CLI and the GUI are similar.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have the Sun Java^TM Availability Suite DVD-ROM.

If you intend to run the Sun Java Enterprise System Common Installer with a GUI, ensure that your DISPLAY environment variable is set.

1. On the cluster node where you are installing the data service packages, become superuser.

2. Load the Sun Java Availability Suite DVD-ROM into the DVD-ROM drive.

   If the Volume Management daemon vold(1M) is running and configured to manage DVD-ROM devices, the daemon automatically mounts the DVD-ROM on the /cdrom directory.

3. Change to the Sun Java Enterprise System Common Installer directory of the DVD-ROM.

   • If you are installing the data service packages on the SPARC® platform, type the following command:

     # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_sparc

   • If you are installing the data service packages on the x86 platform, type the following command:

     # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_x86

4. Start the Sun Java Enterprise System Common Installer.

   # ./installer

5. When you are prompted, accept the license agreement.

   If any Sun Java Enterprise System components are installed, you are prompted to select whether to upgrade the components or install new software.

6. From the list of Sun Cluster agents under Availability Services, select the data service for Network File System (NFS).

7. If you require support for languages other than English, select the option to install multilingual packages.

   English language support is always installed.

8. When prompted whether to configure the data service now or later, choose Configure Later.

   Choose Configure Later to perform the configuration after the installation.

9. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the data service packages on the node.

   The Sun Java Enterprise System Common Installer displays the status of the installation. When the installation is complete, the wizard displays an installation summary and the installation logs.

10. (GUI only) If you do not want to register the product and receive product updates, deselect the Product Registration option.

    The Product Registration option is not available with the CLI. If you are running the Sun Java Enterprise System Common Installer with the CLI, omit this step

11. Exit the Sun Java Enterprise System Common Installer.

12. Unload the Sun Java Availability Suite DVD-ROM from the DVD-ROM drive.

    1. To ensure that the DVD-ROM is not being used, change to a directory that does not reside on the DVD-ROM.

    2. Eject the DVD-ROM.

       # eject cdrom
