Before adding an Oracle Solaris host or a virtual machine to an existing global cluster or a zone cluster, ensure that the node has all of the necessary hardware correctly installed and configured, including an operational physical connection to the private cluster interconnect.
For hardware installation information, refer to the Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.2 Hardware Administration Manual or the hardware documentation that shipped with your server.
This procedure enables a machine to install itself into a cluster by adding its node name to the list of authorized nodes for that cluster.
The phys-schost# prompt reflects a global-cluster prompt. Perform this procedure on a global cluster.
This procedure provides the long forms of the Oracle Solaris Cluster commands. Most commands also have short forms. Except for the long and short forms of the command names, the commands are identical.
Use the scinstall utility to complete the installation and configuration of the new node, as described in the Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide .
You must also specify a network resource to be used for public network communication on each node. In the following example, the zone name is sczone, and sc_ipmp0 is the IPMP group name.
clzc:sczone>add node clzc:sczone:node>set physical-host=phys-cluster-3 clzc:sczone:node>set hostname=hostname3 clzc:sczone:node>add net clzc:sczone:node:net>set address=hostname3 clzc:sczone:node:net>set physical=sc_ipmp0 clzc:sczone:node:net>end clzc:sczone:node>end clzc:sczone>exit
For detailed instructions on configuring the node, see Creating and Configuring a Zone Cluster in Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide .
# clzc install-cluster -d dvd-image zoneclustername
# clzc install zoneclustername
Press the Return key.
Follow the clsetup prompts. This option tells the cluster to ignore all requests over the public network from any new machine that is trying to add itself to the cluster.
The following example shows how to add a node named phys-schost-3 to the authorized node list in an existing cluster.
[Assume the root role and execute the clsetup utility.] phys-schost# clsetup [Select New nodes>Specify the name of a machine which may add itself.] [Answer the questions when prompted.] [Verify that the command completed successfully.] claccess allow -h phys-schost-3 Command completed successfully. [Select Prevent any new machines from being added to the cluster.] [Quit the clsetup New Nodes Menu and Main Menu.] [Install the cluster software.]
