Follow this procedure to perform one or more of the following installation tasks:
To install the Oracle Solaris Cluster framework and data service software packages on each node in the global cluster. These nodes can be physical machines or (SPARC only) Oracle VM Server for SPARC I/O domains, control domains, or guest domains, or a combination of any of these types of nodes.
To install data services.
However, you can add or remove other, optional packages without removing the ha-cluster-minimal group package.
If you choose to install the ha-cluster-full package, the GUI will be installed automatically. If you choose to install another package, you can manually install the GUI later.
Before You Begin
Perform the following tasks:
Ensure that the Oracle Solaris OS is installed to support Oracle Solaris Cluster software.
If the Oracle Solaris software is already installed on the node, you must ensure that the Oracle Solaris installation meets the requirements for the Oracle Solaris Cluster software and any other software that you intend to install on the cluster. See How to Install Oracle Solaris Software for more information about installing the Oracle Solaris software to meet Oracle Solaris Cluster software requirements.
Choose which Oracle Solaris Cluster software packages to install.
The following table lists the primary group packages for the Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 software and the principal features that each group package contains. You must install at least the ha-cluster-framework-minimal group package.

As the root role, use the following command to start the pconsole utility:
adminconsole# pconsole host[:port] […] &
The pconsole utility also opens a master window from which you can send your input to all individual console windows at the same time.
During the installation of the Oracle Solaris OS, a restricted network profile is used that disables external access for certain network services. The restricted services include the RPC communication service, which is required for cluster communication.
Perform the following commands to restore external access to RPC communication.
# svccfg svc:> select network/rpc/bind svc:/network/rpc/bind> setprop config/local_only=false svc:/network/rpc/bind> quit # svcadm refresh network/rpc/bind:default # svcprop network/rpc/bind:default | grep local_only
The output of the last command should show that the local_only property is now set to false.
Alternatively, if your user account is assigned the System Administrator profile, issue commands as non-root through a profile shell, or prefix the command with the pfexec command.
NWAM activates a single network interface and disables all others. For this reason, NWAM cannot coexist with the Oracle Solaris Cluster software and you must disable it before you configure or run your cluster. To disable NWAM, you enable the defaultfixed profile.
# netadm enable -p ncp defaultfixed # netadm list -p ncp defaultfixed
The certification page is displayed with download buttons for the key and the certificate.
In the following example the repository name is https://pkg.oracle.com/repository-location/.
# pkg set-publisher \ -k /var/pkg/ssl/Oracle_Solaris_Cluster_4.0.key.pem \ -c /var/pkg/ssl/Oracle_Solaris_Cluster_4.0.certificate.pem \ -O https://pkg.oracle.com/repository-location/ ha-cluster
Specifies the full path to the downloaded SSL key file.
Specifies the full path to the downloaded certificate file.
Specifies the URL to the Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 package repository.
For more information, see the pkg(1) man page.
Oracle Solaris Cluster software is part of the Oracle Solaris Product Pack. Follow online instructions to complete selection of the media pack and download the software.
# lofiadm -a path-to-iso-image /dev/lofi/N # mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/N /mnt
Specifies the full path and file name of the ISO image.
# pkg set-publisher -g file:///mnt/repo ha-cluster
# pkg list -a package-name # pkg publisher PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION solaris origin online F solaris-repository ha-cluster origin online F ha-cluster-repository
For information about setting the solaris publisher, see Adding, Modifying, or Removing Package Publishers in Adding and Updating Software in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
If you do not get any error messages when you use the –nv options, run the command again without the –n option to actually perform the installation or update. If you do get error messages, run the command again with more –v options (for example, –nvv) or more of the package FMRI pattern to get more information to help you diagnose and fix the problem. For troubleshooting information, see Appendix A, Troubleshooting Package Installation and Update, in Adding and Updating Software in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
# /usr/bin/pkg install ha-cluster-package
$ pkg info -r ha-cluster-package
Package installation succeeded if the state is Installed.
