The example instructions in Installing and Configuring PostgreSQL on Shared Storage in a Non-Global Zone install the PostgreSQL software on shared cluster storage. You can also install this software into the default directory /usr/local/pgsql by following the instructions in this section.
To install the PostgreSQL software in the default directory, perform the steps provided in the following example procedures:
Example: Building and Installing the PostgreSQL Software in the Default Directory in a Zone
Example: Enabling the PostgreSQL Software to Run in the Cluster
This example illustrates how to install the PostgreSQL software in the default directory /usr/local/pgsql. You can also build and install the PostgreSQL binaries on shared storage. See Installing and Configuring PostgreSQL on Shared Storage in a Non-Global Zone.
You can only install the PostgreSQL software in the default directory if one of the following conditions is true:
/usr is not inherited
/usr/local/pgsql is linked to somewhere in the global zone
If /usr/local/pgsql is linked to the global zone, create this directory in the non-global zone as well.
Create the home directory for PostgreSQL user.
phys-schost-1# mkdir /glohal/mnt3/postgres |
Change the ownership of the postgres directory.
phys-schost-1# chown -R postgres:postgres /glohal/mnt3/postgres |
Log in as the PostgreSQL user.
zone-1# su - postgres |
Create the directory in the non-global zone.
zone-1$ mkdir /pgsql-linksource |
Expand the software tar file.
zone-1$ gzcat /tmp/postgresql-8.1.0.tar.gz |tar xvf - |
Add the C compiler and ar to your PATH.
zone-1$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin zone-1$ export PATH |
Add the C compiler and readline libraries to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
zone-1$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib zone-1$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
Install the source and configure the build.
zone-1$ gzcat /tmp/postgresql-8.1.0.tar.gz |tar xvf - zone-1$ cd /global/mnt3/postgres/build/postgresql-8.1.0 zone-1$ ./configure |
Build the PostgreSQL binaries.
zone-1$ gmake |
If you use gcc to build the postgres binaries, build them in a failover file system.
Run the PostgreSQL regression tests.
zone-1$ gmake check |
Switch to the root user.
zone$ su |
Add the C compiler and ar to your PATH.
This example assumes the following:
The compiler is gcc, located in /usr/sfw/bin.
ar is located in /usr/ccs/bin.
zone-1# PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin zone-1# export PATH |
Add the C compiler and readline libraries to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
zone-1# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/csw/lib zone-1$# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
Install the binaries.
zone-1# gmake install |
Copy the binaries to the second node.
zone-1# scp -rp /usr/local/pgsql phys-schost-2:/usr/local |
Exit from root access.
zone-1# exit |
Clean the distribution.
zone-1$ gmake clean |
Perform the steps in Example: Enabling the PostgreSQL Software to Run in the Cluster to complete installation and configuration of PostgreSQL.
