This section contains the procedure to prepare the nodes and disks.

How to Prepare the Nodes for a Failover Configuration

Use this procedure to prepare for the installation and configuration of Oracle Essbase Server in a failover configuration.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the /etc/netmasks file has IP-address subnet and netmask entries for all logical hostnames. If necessary, edit the /etc/netmasks file to add any missing entries.

1. Create a failover resource group to hold the logical hostname and the Oracle Essbase Server resources.

   # /usr/cluster/bin/clresourcegroup create [-n nodelist] oracle-essbase-server-rg

2. Add the logical host name resource.

   # clreslogicalhostname create -g oracle-essbase-server-rg logicalhost

   The logicalhost is the host name where Oracle Essbase Server will be listening.

   ---

   Note -  If you require a fully qualified hostname, you must specify the fully qualified name with the -h option and you cannot use the fully qualified form in the resource name.

   ---

3. Create a highly-available local file system managed by the HAStoragePlus resource.

   # /usr/cluster/bin/clresource create -g oracle-essbase-server-rg -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus \
   -p FilesystemMountPoints=oracle-epm-mount-points  oracle-essbase-server-hasp-rs

   For more information, see Chapter 5, Creating a Cluster File System in Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 Software Installation Guide.

4. Bring the resource group online.

   # /usr/cluster/bin/clresourcegroup online -M oracle-essbase-server-rg
