Configuring Oracle Solaris Cluster Software on Additional Global-Cluster Nodes (scinstall)

Configuring Oracle Solaris Cluster Software on Additional Global-Cluster Nodes (`scinstall`)

The scinstall utility runs in two modes of installation, Typical or Custom. For the Typical installation of Oracle Solaris Cluster software, scinstall automatically specifies the cluster transport switches as switch1 and switch2.

Complete one of the following configuration planning worksheets. See Planning the Oracle Solaris OS and Planning the Oracle Solaris Cluster Environment for planning guidelines.

Typical Mode Worksheet – If you will use Typical mode and accept all defaults, complete the following worksheet.

Component	Description/Example	Answer
Sponsoring Node	What is the name of the sponsoring node? Choose any node that is active in the cluster.
Cluster Name	What is the name of the cluster that you want the node to join?
Check	Do you want to run the `cluster check` validation utility?	Yes \| No
Autodiscovery of Cluster Transport	Do you want to use autodiscovery to configure the cluster transport? If no, supply the following additional information:	Yes \| No
Point-to-Point Cables	Does the node that you are adding to the cluster make this a two-node cluster?	Yes \| No
Point-to-Point Cables	Does the cluster use switches?	Yes \| No
Cluster Switches	If used, what are the names of the two switches? Defaults: `switch1` and `switch2`	First: Second:
Cluster Transport Adapters and Cables	Transport adapter names:	First: Second:
	Where does each transport adapter connect to (a switch or another adapter)? Switch defaults: `switch1` and `switch2`	First: Second:
	For transport switches, do you want to use the default port name?	First: Yes \| No Second: Yes \| No
	If no, what is the name of the port that you want to use?	First: Second:
Automatic Reboot	Do you want `scinstall` to automatically reboot the node after installation?	Yes \| No

Custom Mode Worksheet – If you will use Custom mode and customize the configuration data, complete the following worksheet.
