Sun Open Telecommunications Platform 1.1 Installation and Administration Guide

Chapter 6 Installing the Open Telecommunications Platform Using the Provisioning Service On an Existing OTP System

This chapter provides the procedures for using the OTP provisioning service on an existing production standalone OTP host or on the first OTP host in a clustered OTP system to install and configure the Open Telecommunications Platform software to a new OTP host or hosts.

Note –

In the following sections and procedures, the production OTP host used as the OTP installation source is called the OTP master server. The new standalone OTP host and each new clustered OTP host is called a new OTP host.

Before you begin, review the OTP Plan settings described in OTP System Plan Settings Descriptions, and then print out the worksheet and fill in the values based on the host or hosts to which you will install OTP:

Preparing the OTP Master Server Using GUI

This section provides the procedures for preparing an existing production OTP master server for use as an OS, OTP, and NEP application provisioning host using the GUI interface.

The following topics are discussed:

ProcedureTo Identify the OTP Master Server in a Clustered OTP System

Skip this procedure if you are using a standalone OTP host to install the OS, OTP, and applications to a new OTP host.

In a clustered OTP system, the OTP master server is the clustered OTP host on which the resource group is active.

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

  2. Type /usr/cluster/bin/scstat -g to determine which host in the cluster is online.

    The host on which the resource group otp-system-rg is online is the OTP master server.

    For example:


    # /usr/cluster/bin/scstat -g | grep Online
    Group: otp-system-rg       otp-node17          Online
 Resource: otp-lhn             otp-node17          Online    Online - LogicalHostname online
 Resource: otp-sps-hastorage-plus otp-node17          Online    Online
 Resource: otp-spsms-rs        otp-node17          Online    Online
 Resource: otp-spsra-rs        otp-node17          Online    Online

    In the above example, the resource group otp-system-rg is running on the clustered OTP host otp-node17, and otp-node17 is therefore the OTP master server.
