Confirm Oracle Solaris Cluster-specific requirements.

The basic requirements for Sun QFS or SAM-QFS with Oracle Solaris Cluster software are very similar to those for the products without Oracle Solaris Cluster software. However, some specific requirements simplify later steps in the process. For information, see Chapter 2, Requirements for Using SAM-QFS With Oracle Solaris Cluster.

2

Install Oracle Solaris Cluster software and configure nodes as appropriate.

If not already done, install and configure Oracle Solaris Cluster software as explained in Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide.

3

Verify Sun QFS or SAM-QFS installation requirements.

Additional requirements for installing Sun QFS or SAM-QFS software with Oracle Solaris Cluster software are basically the same as for Sun QFS and SAM-QFS software without Oracle Solaris Cluster software. See Chapter 3, Preparing for Installation, in Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Installation Guide.

4

Install Sun QFS or SAM-QFS software.

See Chapter 6, Installing and Configuring SAM-QFS Manager, in Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Installation Guide or Chapter 5, Installing Sun QFS and SAM-QFS, in Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Installation Guide, as applicable.

5

(Optional) Configure failover on the metadata server for clustered (shared) file systems.

See Chapter 4, Configuring Sun QFS Shared File Systems With Oracle Solaris Cluster.

6

(Optional) Configure high availability for archiving file systems (HA-SAM).

See Chapter 5, Configuring SAM-QFS Archiving in an Oracle Solaris Cluster Environment (HA-SAM).

7

(Optional) Configure failover for unshared, unarchiving file systems (HA-QFS).

See Chapter 3, Configuring Sun QFS Local Failover File Systems With Oracle Solaris Cluster.

8

(Optional) Configure clients that are part of the shared file system but that are not part of the Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration.

See Chapter 6, Configuring Clients Outside of the Cluster.
