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:

  • /cdrom/otp_11_dvd/otp1.1 for physical media

  • The fully qualified path name of NFS-mounted OTP installation directory on the external OTP installation server, for example: /net/otpsource.mycompany.com/otp1.1.

• Cluster Name

  The name of the clustered OTP system that is assigned to the cluster during the Open Telecommunications Platform installation and configuration process.

• hn Enable Auto Configuration of IPMP

  Required:

  • GUI default value: no, checkbox does not contain the √ symbol

  • CLI default value: yes

  Valid values: yes, no, checkbox contains a symbol, checkbox does not contain a symbol

  ---

  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:

  • hn 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

  • hn Secondary IP

    The IP address of the secondary interface secondary IP interface that is used for failover.

  • hn 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

• hn Sponsoring Node

  The name of the first OTP host in a clustered OTP system. The first OTP host is the sponsoring note for additional OTP host n. Required when installing the Open Telecommunications Platform on a two or more host clustered OTP system.

• hn Host Name

  The name of the additional OTP host n in a two host or more cluster. Required when installing the Open Telecommunications Platform on a two or more host clustered OTP system.

• hn Physical IP Adddress

  The IP address of the additional OTP host n in a two host or more cluster. Required when installing the Open Telecommunications Platform on a two or more host clustered OTP system.

• hn Private Interface 1

  The first physical interface on additional OTP host n, for example bge0 or ce0.

• hn Private Interface 2

  The second physical interface on additional OTP host n, for example bge1 or ce1.

• hn Transport Type Interface 1

  Required value is dlpi, do not change.

  The transport type of the first private interconnect adapter on additional OTP host n

• hn Transport Type Interface 2

  Required value is dlpi, do not change.

  The transport type of the second private interconnect adapter on additional OTP host n

• hn Quorum Auto Configuration

  ---

  Note –

  Quorum automatic configuration applies only to two-host clusters.

  ---

  Required, default value: yes, checkbox selected, and contains the √ symbol

  Valid values: yes, no, checkbox contains a symbol, checkbox does not contain a symbol

  Quorum autoconfiguration provides an option to enable or disable auto configuration of the quorum device in a two-host only 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. The cluster must be manually reset from install mode to normal mode. For details on how to configure quorum disks, refer to the scconf command documentation in scconf(1M)

  ---

• 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, checkbox selected, and contains the √ symbol. All patches are to be installed.

  Valid values: yes, no, checkbox contains a symbol, checkbox does not contain a symbol. Only mandatory patches are to be installed.

  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.

• Manager Host Name

  The name of the first OTP host in the clustered OTP system, for example, cluster01manager.

• Manager Physical IP Address

  The IP address of the first OTP host in the clustered OTP system.

• Manager Node Authentication

  Required value is sys, do not change.

• Manager Private Interface 1

  The first physical interface on the OTP host, for example bge0 or ce0.

• Manager Private Interface 2

  The second physical interface on the OTP host, for example bge1 or ce1.

• Manager Transport Type Interface 1

  Required value is dlpi, do not change.

• Manager Transport Type Interface 2

  Required value is dlpi, do not change.

• Manager Autoconfig IPMP

  Set managerAutoConfigureIPMP=no if you do not want to set up IPMP.

  To set up IPMP, set managerAutoConfigureIPMP=yes, and add the following three lines:

  • managerSecondaryInterface=Ethernet interface 2, for example bge1

  • managerSecondaryIPMP=111.112.113.114 where 111.112.113.114 is the IP address of Ethernet interface 2.

  • managerTestIPAddress=111.112.113.222 where 111.112.113.222 is the IP address used for IPMP configuration.

• Node Authentication

  Required value is sys, do not change.

  This option establishes the authentication policies for hosts that are to be added to a clustered OTP system configuration.

• Private Interface 1

  The network adapter connected to private interconnect.

• Private Interface 2

  The network adapter connected to private interconnect.

• 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.

• Target Host Physical Name

  The name to be assigned to the OTP host

• Target Host Physical IP

  The IP address to be assigned to the standalone OTP host.

• Transport Type 1

  Required value is dlpi, do not change.

  The transport type of the private interconnect adapters.

• Transport Type 2

  Required value is dlpi, do not change.

  The transport type of the private interconnect adapters.
