8.2.1 How to Install Netscape Services

Consult your Netscape application documentation before performing this procedure. All of the procedures in this chapter must be performed as root.

1. Make sure each logical host is served by its default master.

   Each Netscape application will be installed from the physical host that is the logical host's default master. If necessary, switch over the logical hosts to be served by their respective default masters.

   ---

   Note -

   The logical host names you use in your Sun Cluster configuration should be used as the server names when you install and configure the Netscape applications in the following steps. This is necessary for failover of the Netscape server to work properly.

   ---

2. After cluster reconfiguration is complete, install the Netscape application software on the logical hosts by using the Netscape ns-setup command on the distribution CD.

   You should install and test the Netscape application software (DNS, Netscape HTTP Server, Netscape News, Netscape Mail, and LDAP) independently of Sun Cluster. Refer to the Netscape application software installation documentation for installation instructions.

   ---

   Note -

   Before you install the Netscape application software, refer to the section in this chapter describing the configuration procedures for each Netscape application. These sections describe Sun Cluster-specific configuration information that you must supply when you install the Netscape applications.
