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:

• To Identify the OTP Master Server in a Clustered OTP System

• To Update the Service Provisioning Remote Agent

• To Create the OS Provisioning Server

• To Create the JET Boot/Install Server

To 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.

Next Steps

Update the OTP master server remote agent as described in the next procedure.

To Update the Service Provisioning Remote Agent

1. Open a Web browser and go to URL http://OTP master server:9090 where install server is either the IP address or the fully qualified name of the OTP master server or of the standalone OTP host.
