Transfer and Install the MiniCluster Component Bundle

Language:

In this procedure, you are transferring the MiniCluster component bundle files that you downloaded in Download the MiniCluster Component Bundle to both MiniCluster compute nodes and installing those component bundle files.

Locate the MiniCluster component bundle files that you downloaded earlier.
See Download the MiniCluster Component Bundle.

From the remote system where you downloaded the MiniCluster component bundle files, transfer those component bundle files to the /var/tmp directory on compute node 1.
From a terminal window, type:
```
remote-system# scp path-on-remote-system/mc-*-sfw.tar.a* mcinstall@ipaddress:/var/tmp
```
where ipaddress is the IP address for compute node 1 that was provided in the output screen after installmc --deploy was successfully completed. You can also find the IP address for compute node 1 in the omcips.txt file that was generated as part of the process in Using the Initial Configuration Tool.

If you use a tool such as WinSCP to transfer the component bundle files to compute node 1, use the IP address for compute node 1, and log in as mcinstall, with the initial credentials (see Log In To Compute Node 1 (Oracle ILOM)).

On compute node 1, change to the /var/tmp directory.

Concatenate and extract the component bundle packages to the /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/ directory.
```
compute-node-1% cat component-bundle.tar.a? | gtar -x -C /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/ -f -
```
The a? portion of the command is essentially a wild card entry, encompassing TAR files that end with .aa, .ab, and so on.

For example, if the component bundle packages are named mc-1.1.13-sfw.tar.aa to mc-1.1.13-sfw.tar.ah, type:
```
compute-node-1% cat mc-1.1.13-sfw.tar.a? | gtar -x -C /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/ -f -
```
Log in to compute node 2 as the mcinstall user.
```
# ssh mcinstall@compute-node2-IP-address
```
where compute-node2-IP-address is the IP address on the client access network for compute node 2 that you entered into DNS in Preliminary Tasks. You can also find the IP address for compute node 2 in the omcips.txt file that was generated as part of the process in Using the Initial Configuration Tool.

Use the same initial credentials used for compute node 1 (see Log In To Compute Node 1 (Oracle ILOM)).
Repeat Step 2 to Step 4 to copy the same MiniCluster component bundle files to the /var/tmp directory on compute node 2.
You can copy the component bundle files from either the remote system or from compute node 1 to the /var/tmp directory on compute node 2.
Disconnect from the Oracle ILOM connection through the NET MGT port, if necessary.
Once the installmc process was completed, both compute nodes should be reachable directly from the client access network. Disconnect from the Oracle ILOM connection through the NET MGT port.
Log in to the MiniCluster Configuration Utility browser user interface (MCMU BUI) for the first time.
See Log In To the MCMU BUI for the First Time.

Note - You can also use the CLI to set up the MiniCluster at this point. Refer to the Oracle MiniCluster S7-2 Administration Guide for those instructions. Log in as mcinstall using the IP address on the client access network for compute node 1.
