SPARC: How to Install Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters Packages on the SPARC Platform

If you did not install the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters packages during your initial Sun Cluster installation, perform this procedure to install the packages. Perform this procedure on all of the cluster nodes that can run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters.

If you are using the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS), install these packages only in the global zone. Also ensure that these packages are not propagated to any local zones that are created after you install the packages.

Install the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters packages by using the pkgadd utility.

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 DVD-ROM.

1. On the cluster node where you are installing the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters packages, become superuser.

2. Load the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 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 the current working directory to the directory that contains the Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters packages.

   # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_sparc/Product/sun_cluster_agents/Solaris_N/Packages

   N is the version number of the Solaris OS that you are using. For example, if you are using the Solaris 10 OS, N is 10.

4. On each cluster node that can run Sun Cluster Support for Oracle Real Application Clusters, start the utility to install the packages that your storage management scheme requires.

   Note –

   If you are using the Solaris 10 OS, install these packages only in the global zone. Also specify the -G option in the pkgadd command. The -G option ensures that these packages are not propagated to any local zones that are created after you install the packages.

   ---

   The packages that are required depends on whether your storage management scheme includes a volume manager.

   • If your storage management scheme includes Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster, run the following command:

     # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr SUNWscmd

     Run this command if you are using Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster alone or if you are using Sun StorEdge^TM QFS with Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster.

   • If your storage management scheme includes VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) with the cluster feature, run the following command:

     # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr SUNWcvm SUNWcvmr

   • If your storage management scheme does not include a volume manager, run the following command:

     # pkgadd -d . SUNWscucm SUNWudlm SUNWudlmr SUNWschwr

     Run this command if you are using any storage management scheme in the following list:

     • Hardware redundant array of independent disks (RAID)

     • Sun StorEdge QFS without a volume manager

     • Network Appliance NAS devices

     • Automatic Storage Management (ASM) without a volume manager

5. If you are using Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters, install the SUNWscor package.

   If you are using Oracle 10g Real Application Clusters, omit this step.

   # pkgadd -d . SUNWscor
