How to Install Oracle Solaris Cluster Software (pkg)
Perform the following tasks:
-
Ensure that the Oracle Solaris OS is installed to support 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.
Note:
If you want to use the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager browser interface to administer Oracle Solaris Cluster components, ensure that all cluster nodes have the same root password. -
Choose which Oracle Solaris Cluster software packages to install.
The following table lists the primary group packages for the Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.4 software and the principal features that each group package contains. You must install at least the
ha-cluster-framework-minimal
group package.Note:
You cannot add or remove individual packages that are part of theha-cluster-minimal
group package except by complete reinstallation or uninstallation. See How to Unconfigure Oracle Solaris Cluster Software to Correct Installation Problems for a procedure to remove the cluster framework packages. However, you can add or remove other, optional packages without removing theha-cluster-minimal
group package. If you choose to install theha-cluster-full
package, the GUI will be installed automatically. If you choose to install another package, you can manually install the GUI later.Feature ha-cluster-full ha-cluster-framework-full ha-cluster-data-services-full ha-cluster-geo-full ha-cluster-minimal ha-cluster-framework-minimal Framework
