How to Start Sun Cluster Manager

This procedure shows how to start Sun Cluster Manager on your cluster.

1. Do you intend to access Sun Cluster Manager by using the cluster node root user name and password rather than set up a different user name and password?

   • If yes, go to Step 5.

   • If no, go to Step 3 to set up Sun Cluster Manager user accounts.

2. Become superuser on a cluster node.

3. Create a user account to access the cluster through Sun Cluster Manager.

   You use the useradd(1M) command to add a user account to the system. You must set up at least one user account to access Sun Cluster Manager if you do not use the root system account. Sun Cluster Manager user accounts are used only by Sun Cluster Manager. These accounts do not correspond to any Solaris OS system user accounts. Creating and assigning an RBAC role to a user account is described in more detail in Creating and Assigning an RBAC Role With a Sun Cluster Management Rights Profile.

   Note –

   Users who do not have a user account set up on a particular node cannot access the cluster through Sun Cluster Manager from that node, nor can users manage that node through another cluster node to which the users do have access.

4. (Optional) Repeat Step 3 to set up additional user accounts.

5. From the administrative console or any other machine outside the cluster, start a browser.

6. Ensure that the browser's disk and memory cache sizes are set to a value that is greater than 0.

7. Ensure that the Java and Javascript are enables in the browser.

8. Accept any certificates that are presented by the web browser.

   The Java Web Console login page is displayed.

9. Enter the user name and password for the user you want to access Sun Cluster Manager.

10. Click the Log In button.

    The Java Web Console application launch page is displayed.

11. Click the Sun Cluster Manager link under the Systems category.

12. Accept any additional certificates that are presented by the web browser.

13. From the browser, connect to the Sun Cluster Manager port on one node of the cluster.

    The default port number is 6789.
