Sun Cluster 2.2 Release Notes

How to Set Up a Web Server to Run With SCM

If you choose, you can install a web server on the cluster nodes to run with SCM.

  1. Install a web server on all nodes in the cluster.


    Note -

    If you are running the Sun Cluster HA for Netscape HTTP service and an HTTP server on SCM, you need to configure the HTTP servers to listen on different ports. Otherwise there will be a port conflict between the two.


  2. Follow the web server's configuration procedure to make sure that SCM's index.html file is accessible to the clients.

    The client applet for SCM is in the index.html file in the /opt/SUNWcluster/scmgr directory. For example, go to your HTTP server's document root and create a link to the /opt/SUNWcluster/scmgr directory.

  3. Run your HotJava browser from your workstation.

  4. Set the applet security preferences in your HotJava browser:

    1. Choose Applet Security from Preferences on the Edit menu.

    2. Click Medium Security as the Default setting for Unsigned applets.

  5. When you are ready to begin monitoring the cluster with SCM, type the appropriate URL.

    For example, if you had created a link from the web server's document_root directory to the /opt/SUNWcluster/scmgr directory, you would type the following URL:

    http://clusternode/scmgr/index.html
    
  6. Click OK on dialog boxes that ask for permission to access certain files, ports, and so forth to the cluster node where the browser is started.


    Note -

    It might take HotJava some time to download and run the applet. No status information will appear during this time.
