How to Configure Oracle Solaris Cluster Software on Additional Global-Cluster Nodes (XML File)
Perform the following tasks:
-
Ensure that the Oracle Solaris OS is installed to support the 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.
-
SPARC: If you are configuring Oracle VM Server for SPARC I/O domains or guest domains as cluster nodes, ensure that the Oracle VM Server for SPARC software is installed on each physical machine and that the domains meet Oracle Solaris Cluster requirements. See How to Install Oracle VM Server for SPARC Software and Create Domains.
-
Ensure that Oracle Solaris Cluster software packages and any necessary updates are installed on the node. See How to Install Oracle Solaris Cluster Software (pkg).
-
Ensure that the cluster is prepared for the addition of the new node. See How to Prepare the Cluster for Additional Global-Cluster Nodes.
Perform this procedure to configure a new global-cluster node by using an XML cluster configuration file. The new node can be a duplication of an existing cluster node that runs the Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.4 software.
This procedure configures the following cluster components on the new node:
-
Cluster node membership
-
Cluster interconnect
-
Global devices
Troubleshooting
Unsuccessful configuration – If one or more nodes cannot join the cluster, or if the wrong configuration information was specified, first attempt to perform this procedure again. If that does not correct the problem, perform the procedure How to Unconfigure Oracle Solaris Cluster Software to Correct Installation Problems on each misconfigured node to remove it from the cluster configuration. You do not need to uninstall the Oracle Solaris Cluster software packages. Then perform this procedure again.
