4. Upgrading the Geographic Edition Software
When Geographic Edition software is enabled, the cluster is ready to enter a partnership with another enabled cluster. You can use the CLI or the GUI to create a cluster partnership.
For more information about setting up and installing Geographic Edition, see Chapter 3, Administering the Geographic Edition Infrastructure, in Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition System Administration Guide.
To use the geoadm command to enable the local cluster for partnership membership, you must have superuser access.
This procedure enables the Geographic Edition infrastructure on the local cluster only. Repeat this procedure on all the clusters of your geographically separated cluster.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the following conditions are met:
The cluster is running the Oracle Solaris operating system and Oracle Solaris Cluster software.
The Oracle Solaris Cluster management-agent container for Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager is running.
Geographic Edition software is installed.
The cluster has been configured for secure cluster communication by using security certificates, that is, nodes within the same cluster must share the same security certificates. This is configured during Oracle Solaris Cluster installation.
However, when you upgrade to Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 5/11 software, you must copy the security certificates manually from one node of the cluster to the other nodes of the cluster. This action restores identical security certificates on all nodes. For more information about copying the security files for the common agent container, see the procedures in How to Finish Upgrade to Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 5/11 Software in Oracle Solaris Cluster Upgrade Guide.
# cluster list
For global clusters, if the cluster name is not the name that you want to use, change the cluster name with the following command:
# cluster rename -c newclustername clustername
Specifies the new cluster name.
The cluster whose name you are changing.
For more information, see the cluster(1CL) man page.
Note - After you have enabled the Geographic Edition infrastructure, you must not change the cluster name while the infrastructure is enabled.
The local hosts file, hosts, is located in the /etc/inet directory.
# geoadm start
The geoadm start command enables the Geographic Edition infrastructure on the local cluster only. For more information, see the geoadm(1M) man page.
# geoadm show # clresourcegroup status geo-clusterstate geo-infrastructure # clresource status -g geo-clusterstate,geo-infrastructure
The output for the geoadm show command displays that the Geographic Edition infrastructure is active from a particular node in the cluster.
The output for the clresourcegroup status and clresource status commands display that the geo-failovercontrol, geo-hbmonitor, and geo-clustername resources and the geo-infrastructure resource group is online on one node of the cluster. The geo-clusterstate resource group is online on both nodes.
For more information, see the clresourcegroup(1CL) and clresource(1CL) man pages.
Example 3-1 Enabling the Geographic Edition Infrastructure on a Cluster
This example enables Geographic Edition software on the cluster-paris cluster.
Start the Geographic Edition infrastructure on cluster-paris.
phys-paris-1# geoadm start
Ensure that the Geographic Edition infrastructure was successfully enabled.
phys-paris-1# geoadm show --- CLUSTER LEVEL INFORMATION --- Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition is active on cluster-paris from node phys-paris-1 Command execution successful phys-paris-1#
Verify the status of the Geographic Edition resource groups and resources.
phys-paris-1# clresourcegroup status geo-clusterstate geo-infrastructure === Cluster Resource Groups === Group Name Node Name Suspended Status ---------- --------- --------- ------ geo-clusterstate phys-paris-1 No Online phys-paris-2 No Online geo-infrastructure phys-paris-1 No Online phys-paris-2 No Offline phys-paris-1# clresource status -g geo-clusterstate,geo-infrastructure === Cluster Resources === Resource Name Node Name State Status Message ------------- --------- ----- -------------- geo-clustername phys-paris-1 Online Online - LogicalHostname online. phys-paris-2 Offline Offline geo-hbmonitor phys-paris-1 Online Online - Daemon OK phys-paris-2 Offline Offline geo-failovercontrol phys-paris-1 Online Online - Service is online. phys-paris-2 Offline Offline
