Sun Open Telecommunications Platform 1.0 Installation and Administration Guide

ProcedureTo Enable High Availability for the OTP Provisioning Service

  1. Log in as root (su - root) to the standalone OTP host.

  2. Create the standalone OTP host high availability state file.

    1. Change directory to /opt/SUNWotp10/CLI.

    2. Type cp templates/enableManagementServicesHA.dat /var/tmp/templates/enableManagementServicesHA.dat

  3. Edit the file /var/tmp/templates/enableManagementServicesHA.dat as follows.

    • mediaDirectory=OTP_Installation_directory: The fully qualified path name of the Open Telecommunications Platform installation directory, for example: /net/otpinstall/otp1.0

    • logicalHost=logical host name where logical host name is an unused logical host name on the same subnet as the standalone OTP host. If a logical host name that exists on a different subnet is specified, cluster installation fails.

    Save and close the file.

    The single-node high availability state file should be similar to the following:

    mediaDirectory=/net/otpinstall/otp1.0
    logicalHost=otpclient1-logicalhostname
  4. Enable high availability for the OTP provisioning service.

    Type /opt/SUNWotp10/CLI/enableManagementServicesHAOnStandalone /var/tmp/enableManagementServicesHA.dat

    The enableManagementServicesHAOnStandalone script installs and enables the OTP application provisioning service high availability agent, and logs to the file /var/tmp/OTPInstaller.log.

    This completes the Open Telecommunications Platform manual installation process for a standalone OTP host.

  5. Log in as root on the standalone OTP host and restart the remote agent.

    Type /etc/init.d/n1spsagent restart to restart the remote agent. If the remote agent is not restarted, then the service provisioning service on the first OTP host will not work properly.
