How to Add Cluster Transport Cables, Transport Adapters, or Transport Junctions

You can also accomplish this procedure by using the SunPlex Manager GUI. See the SunPlex Manager online help for more information.

1. Ensure that the physical cluster transport cables are installed.

   For the procedure on installing a cluster transport cable, see the Sun Cluster Hardware Administration Manual for Solaris OS.

2. Become superuser on any node in the cluster.

3. Enter the scsetup utility.

   # scsetup

   The Main Menu is displayed.

4. Access the Cluster Interconnect Menu by typing 3 (Cluster interconnect).

   Note –

   If your configuration uses SCI adapters, do not accept the default when you are prompted for the adapter connections (the port name) during the “Add” portion of this procedure. Instead, provide the port name (0, 1, 2, or 3) found on the Dolphin switch, to which the node is physically cabled.

5. Add the transport cable by typing 1 (Add a transport cable).

   Follow the instructions and enter the requested information.

6. Add the transport adapter by typing 2 (Add a transport adapter to a node).

   Follow the instructions and enter the requested information.

7. Add the transport junction by typing 3 (Add a transport junction).

   Follow the instructions and enter the requested information.

8. Verify that the cluster transport cable, transport adapter, or transport junction is added.

   # scconf -p | grep cable # scconf -p | grep adapter # scconf -p | grep junction

Example—Adding a Cluster Transport Cable, Transport Adapter, or Transport Junction

The following example shows how to add a transport cable, transport adapter, or transport junction to a node using the scsetup command.

[Ensure the physical cable is installed.]
# scsetup
Select Cluster interconnect.
Select either Add a transport cable, 
Add a transport adapter to a node, 
or Add a transport junction.
Answer the questions when prompted. 
   You Will Need:         Example:
   node names             phys-schost-1
   adapter names          qfe2
   junction names         hub2
   transport type         dlpi
[Verify that the scconf command completed successfully:]
Command completed successfully.
Quit the scsetup Cluster Interconnect Menu and Main Menu.
[Verify that the cable, adapter, and junction are added:]
# scconf -p | grep cable
  Transport cable:   phys-schost-2:qfe0@1 ethernet-1@2    Enabled
  Transport cable:   phys-schost-3:qfe0@1 ethernet-1@3    Enabled
  Transport cable:   phys-schost-1:qfe0@0 ethernet-1@1    Enabled
# scconf -p | grep adapter
  Node transport adapters:                         qfe2 hme1 qfe0
  Node transport adapter:                          qfe0
  Node transport adapters:                         qfe0 qfe2 hme1
  Node transport adapter:                          qfe0
  Node transport adapters:                         qfe0 qfe2 hme1
  Node transport adapter:                          qfe0
# scconf -p | grep junction
  Cluster transport junctions:                       hub0 hub1 hub2
  Cluster transport junction:                        hub0
  Cluster transport junction:                        hub1
  Cluster transport junction:                        hub2
