Open Telecommunications Platform Plan Worksheets
This section provides a description of the Open Telecommunications Platform settings, and provides worksheets to assist you with recording the settings you need to provide when installing the Open Telecommunications Platform on one or more OTP hosts. The settings comprise an installation and configuration plan, which the Open Telecommunications Platform installation process applies to automate the setup and configuration of your OTP hosts.
The following topics are discussed:
OTP System Plan Settings Descriptions
The following list describes each of the OTP system plan settings that are used by the Open Telecommunications Platform graphical user interface installation and configuration process.
-
Media Directory
The fully-qualified path name to the Open Telecommunications Platform installation source directory. For example:
-
/cddrom/otp1.0 for physical media
-
/net/server name/otp1.0 where server name is the name of a server on which the Open Telecommunications Platform installation source directory /otp1.0 has been NFS-mounted.
Note –If you are using an external OTP installation server, this is the fully-qualified path and name of the NFS-mounted Open Telecommunications Platform installation directory on the external OTP installation server.
-
-
Cluster Name
The name of the clustered OTP system that is assigned to the cluster during the Open Telecommunications Platform installation and configuration process.
-
Enable Auto Configuration of IPMP
Default value: yes
Valid values: yes, no
Note –You should configure all physical interfaces of a multipathing group with a test IP address. Test addresses are required to detect failures.
For more information about IPMP see System Administration Guide: IP Services
If you set Enable Auto Configuration of IPMP=yes, then you must also specify the following values:
-
Secondary interface for failover
The name of the network adapter failover (NAFO) network adapter to be added to an IP Network Multipathing group along with the primary network adapter. This interface is used as the failover interface if a fault is detected on the primary interface. Examples: cd1, bge1, hme1, eri1
-
Secondary IP
The IP address of the secondary interface secondary IP interface that is used for failover.
-
Test Address for IPMP
An unused IP address that is to be assigned as a routable, no-failover, and deprecated test IP address to the adapter. IP Network Multipathing uses test addresses to detect network path failures, switch port faults, and partial network equipment outages. For additional information on configuring test IP addresses, see System Administration Guide: IP Services
-
-
Logical Host
A unique host name assigned to the OTP high availability framework
-
Logical IP Address
An unused IP address on the same subnet as the first OTP host, assigned to the logical host
-
Install All Patches
Required, default value: yes
Valid values: yes, no
To install all Open Telecommunications Platform patches, specify yes.
To install mandatory patches only, specify no.
-
Management Interface
The name of the network interface used for OTP system management services. The name of the interface depends on the platform type. For example:
bge0, ce0, cd0, hme0, or eri0.
-
Provisioning Interface
The name of the network interface used for operating system and applications provisioning. The name of the interface depends on the platform type. For example, bge0, ce0, cd0, hme0, or eri0.
-
Node Authentication
Required, default value: sys
Valid values: sys, des
This option establishes the authentication policies for hosts that are to be added to a clustered OTP system configuration. If you specify des (Diffie-Hellman), first add entries to the publickey(4) database for each additional OTP host that is to be added to the cluster before running the plans. You can change authentication type at any time by using the scconf command from an active cluster host. For details on how to change the node authentication type, refer to the scconf command documentation in scconf(1M).
-
Private Interface 1
The network adapter connected to private interconnect.
-
Private Interface 2
The network adapter connected to private interconnect.
-
Transport Type 1
Required, default dlpi.
The transport type of the private interconnect adapters.
-
Transport Type 2
Required, default dlpi.
The transport type of the private interconnect adapters.
-
Sponsoring Node
The name of the first OTP host. Required when installing the Open Telecommunications Platform on a two-to-eight host clustered OTP system.
-
Quorum Auto Configuration
Required, default value: yes
Valid values: yes, no
Quorum autoconfiguration provides an option to enable or disable auto configuration of the quorum device in a two-host clustered OTP system.
Note –If this value is set to no, a manual administrative procedure is required to configure the quorum disk in a two-host clustered OTP system and to reset the cluster from install mode to normal mode. For details on how to configure quorum disks, refer to the scconf command documentation in scconf(1M)
Standalone OTP Host Plan Worksheet
The following table lists the plan settings that you need to provide during installation and configuration of the Open Telecommunications Platform on a standalone OTP host. Plan setting names used in the graphical user interface installation are listed in bold text.
Tip –
Print the following table and then fill out the required information to use while installing and configuring the Open Telecommunications Platform on the standalone OTP host.
Table 2–5 Standalone OTP Host System Settings Worksheet
Clustered OTP Host Plan Worksheet
The following table lists the plan settings that you need to provide for each host during installation and configuration of the Open Telecommunications Platform on a clustered OTP system. Plan setting names used in the graphical user interface installation are listed in bold text.
Tip –
Print a copy of the following table for each host and then fill out the required information to use when installing and configuring the Open Telecommunications Platform on a clustered OTP system.
