After you have installed and connected the hardware for your standalone diskless nodes and the two-node cluster, you are ready to install the software on the nodes.
You can install the software using the nhinstall tool, or by manual installation. For introductory information about each type of installation, see the Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Overview.
Use one of the following procedures to install and configure CGTP on the standalone nodes and Netra HA Suite software on the two-node cluster:
Note - Because diskless nodes are not supported for use on Linux, the information in this chapter applies to only the Solairs OS. |
Note - If you use zones in the Solaris 10 OS and exclusive, per-zone, IP stacks, be aware that CGTP filtering currently works only in the global zone, with the shared IP stack. |
Set up the nhinstall tool and install the product as described in the Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Installation Guide.
In the cluster_definition.conf file, specify that you are installing standalone nodes:
DISKLESS_TYPE=STANDALONE |
For a description of all parameters in the cluster_definition.conf file, see the cluster_definition.conf4 man page.
Complete the installation and configuration procedure as described in the Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Installation Guide.
Check that you have the necessary hardware.
See Chapter 6.
Prepare the installation environment for a two-node cluster.
For information, see “Preparing to Install Manually” in Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS.
Install the Solaris Operating System and Netra HA Suite on the master-eligible nodes.
See “Installing the Software on the Master-Eligible Nodes” in Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS.
Prepare to install the diskless node.
See “Preparing to Install a Diskless Node” in Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS
Install the Solaris Operating System for the diskless node on the master node.
See “Installing the Solaris Operating System” for Diskless Nodes on the Master Node in Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS.
Install and configure the DHCP and the Reliable Boot Service.
“Installing the DHCP and the Reliable Boot Service” in Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS.
“Configuring the DHCP for a Diskless Node” in Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS
Configure the DHCP boot policy for the diskless node.
See “Configuring the DHCP Boot Policy for Diskless Nodes” in Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS.
Install the Standalone CGTP packages on the diskless node:
# pkgadd -d pkg-dir SUNWnhas-cgtp SUNWnhas-common-libs SUNWnhas-common SUNWnhas-diskless-standalone |
pkg-dir is the directory where the CGTP packages are located.
Install the Standalone CGTP patches on the diskless node by using the following command to install each patch:
# patchadd -d patch-dir patch-list |
For the list of patches for CGTP, see the Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services README.
For more information on patchadd, see the patchadd1M man page.
After successful installation, the following message is displayed:
Checking installed patches... Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)... Installing patch packages... Patch number patch-number has been successfully installed. See /var/sadm/patch/patch-number/log for details |
See “To Update the Network ID Files for the Diskless Node” in the Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS
See “To Configure External IP Addresses” in the Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS
See “To Set up File Systems for a Diskless Node” in the Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS
Declare the diskless node to the master-eligible nodes.
See “Integrating a Diskless Node Into the Cluster” in the Netra High Availability Suite 3.0 1/08 Foundation Services Manual Installation Guide for the Solaris OS.
When you boot the nodes, the scripts in the SUNWnhas-diskless-standalone package create routes from the diskless nodes to the master node by using the floating address triplet of the master node. These routes are used to provide the Reliable Boot Service to the standalone diskless nodes running CGTP.
