Changes to OTP High Availability Framework for Enterprise Installation Services Compliance

The main objective of the EIS installation standards is to produce a consistent, high-quality installation in an efficient way.

To make the OTP High Availability framework EIS compliant, the following steps must be performed. All these steps are not mandatory but they are recommended. The first five steps can be performed before setting up OTP. The last step can be performed after the OTP installation.

• scsi-initiator-id must be defined in the Open Boot Prom (OBP).

• Add all the cluster nodes and the logical hosts to the /etc/inet/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes files.

• Do not configure cluster nodes as routers. Create the /etc/defaultrouter file manually before installing the OTP high availability framework.

• If you use shared SCSI storage, add the following entries to the /etc/system file.

  set sd:sd_io_time=30

  set sd:sd_retry_count=3

  set scsi_reset_delay=500

• If you use the glm driver, add the following entry to the /kernel/drv/glm.conf file.

  scsi-selection-timeout=64

• If you do not install the SUNWescom package, disable the scsymon service.

  # svcadm -v disable /system/cluster/scsymon-srv
