How to Install and Configure Oracle Solaris Cluster Quorum Server Software
Perform the following tasks:
-
Ensure that the quorum server machine is connected to a public network that is accessible to the cluster nodes and on the same subnet that is used by the cluster nodes.
-
Disable the spanning tree algorithm on the Ethernet switches for the ports that are connected to the cluster public network where the quorum server will run.
Troubleshooting
Oracle Solaris Cluster Quorum Server software consists of the following packages:
-
ha-cluster/service/quorum-server
-
ha-cluster/service/quorum-server/locale
-
ha-cluster/service/quorum-server/manual
-
ha-cluster/service/quorum-server/manual/locale
These packages are contained in the ha-cluster/group-package/ha-cluster-quorum-server-full
and ha-cluster/group-package/ha-cluster-quorum-server-l10n
group packages.
The installation of these packages adds software to the /usr/cluster
and /etc/scqsd
directories. You cannot modify the location of the Oracle Solaris Cluster Quorum Server software.
If you receive an installation error message regarding the Oracle Solaris Cluster Quorum Server software, verify that the packages were properly installed.
