Phase I. Installing and Configuring the Sun Cluster Framework

The following tasks must be performed on all nodes in the cluster.

To Develop a Sequence for the Sun Cluster Framework

1. Verifying that the hardware is connected correctly for the cluster

   • Sun Cluster 3.0–3.1 Hardware Collection for Solaris OS (SPARC Platform Edition) http://docs.sun.com/coll/1024.1

   • Sun Cluster 3.0–3.1 Hardware Collection for Solaris OS (x86 Platform Edition) http://docs.sun.com/coll/1142.1

2. Checking the installation sequence guidelines

   Check to see what sequence guidelines apply. Refer to Table 2–1.

3. Checking the installation prerequisites

   Check to see what installation prerequisites apply. Refer to Table 1–3.

4. Running the Java ES installer

   On Solaris 10, Sun Cluster software can only be installed in the global zone.

5. At component selection, choosing only the Sun Cluster product component

   Tip –

   During a Configure Now installation, you are prompted whether to enable support for remote Sun Cluster configuration. If you select Yes, postinstallation configuration for Sun Cluster software will be easier.

6. Selecting the Configure Later type

7. If needed, manually installing the Sun Cluster support for additional features: RSMAPI (SUNWscrif), SCI-PCI adapters (SUNWsci), RSMRDT drivers (SUNWscrdt)

   Refer to the Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS for further information.

8. Following the instructions to configure the Sun Cluster Framework for each host in the cluster

   Follow instructions in Chapter 2, Installing and Configuring Sun Cluster Software, in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS. When the Sun Cluster documentation refers to a Sun Cluster CD-ROM, substitute the name of the equivalent Java ES CD-ROM.

   For documentation on creating resource groups and configuring data services, refer to the Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS.
