Sun Open Telecommunications Platform 2.0 Developer's Guide

ProcedureTo Set up the Self-Contained Sun OTP Provisioning Server

Self-contained Sun OTP provisioning server is installed on the first host of the cluster.

Self-contained Sun OTP provisioning server uses a specific logical host name and IP address defined at the beginning of the Sun OTP installation. However, to make Sun OTP application provisioning service highly available, the server is moved to a different logical host name (logical host name for management and provisioning services) at the end of “Configure Components as Highly Available Services” plan. After “Configure Components as Highly Available Services” plan is finished, this new logical host name has to be used to access the Sun OTP provisioning server.

  1. Log in as root (su - root) to the first host of the cluster.

  2. Add the logical host name and the logical IP address to the /etc/hosts file.

    This logical host name and the logical IP address is used in the next step to set up the Sun OTP provisioning server.

  3. Set up the Sun OTP provisioning server in the first host of the cluster.

    /opt/SUNWotp/cli/setupExternalInstallServer -M mediadir -N nodetype -R RAW|SSH -P passwordfile -L logicalhost -I logicalip

    mediadir is the fully qualified path name to the Open Telecommunications Platform installation source directory. The media directory is the path where the installation DVD is mounted.

    nodetype can either be single (for stand-alone deployments) or first (for clustered deployments).

    -R is the connection type between Sun OTP application provisioning service master server and the remote agent. RAW and SSH are the possible connection types between Sun OTP application provisioning service master server and the remote agent.

    logicalhost and logicalip are unused logical host names and logical IP addresses.

    passwordfile is the absolute path of the password file. You can create this file in your home directory. The password file must contain a line with a valid password for the Sun OTP provisioning server. The password can be 8 to 12 alphanumeric characters.


    Note –

    Once you set up the Sun OTP provisioning server with this password, the user name to access the Sun OTP provisioning server is otpadmin and the password is the password in the password file.

    The password specified in this step and the password that will be specified during the Setup Configuration plan must be the same.
