Setting Up the Master-Eligible NodesTo prepare the master-eligible nodes for the installation of the Foundation Services, you must configure the master-eligible nodes. You must also mount the installation server directory that contains the Foundation Services distribution.
|
# touch /etc/notrouter |
Modify the /etc/default/login file so that you can connect to a node from a remote system as superuser:
# mv /etc/default/login /etc/default/login.orig # chmod 644 /etc/default/login.orig # sed '1,$s/^CONSOLE/#CONSOLE/' /etc/default/login.orig > /etc/default/login # chmod 444 /etc/default/login |
Disable power management:
# touch /noautoshutdown |
Modify the .rhosts file according to the security policy for your cluster:
# touch /.rhosts # cp /.rhosts /.rhosts.orig # echo "+ root" > /.rhosts # chmod 444 /.rhosts |
# /usr/sbin/eeprom local-mac-address?=true # /usr/sbin/eeprom auto-boot?=true # /usr/sbin/eeprom diag-switch?=false |
(Optional) If you are using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to run an external clock, configure the master-eligible node as an NTP server.
This procedure is described in the Solaris documentation.
(Optional) If your master-eligible node has an IDE disk, edit the /usr/kernel/drv/sdbc.conf file.
Change the value of the sdbc_max_fbas parameter from 1024 to 256.
Create the data/etc and data/var/dhcp directories in the /SUNWcgha/local/export/ file system on the master-eligible node:
# mkdir -p /SUNWcgha/local/export/data/etc # mkdir -p /SUNWcgha/local/export/data/var/dhcp |
/SUNWcgha/local/export/data/etc directory is required for the CMM.
/SUNWcgha/local/export/data/var/dhcp directory is required for the Reliable Boot Service.
Repeat Step 1 through Step 9 on the second master-eligible node.
Log in to the installation server as superuser.
Check that the mountd and nfsd daemons are running on the installation server.
For example, use the ps command:
# ps -ef | grep mountd root 184 1 0 Aug 03 ? 0:01 /usr/lib/autofs/automountd root 290 1 0 Aug 03 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/mountd root 2978 2974 0 17:40:34 pts/2 0:00 grep mountd # ps -ef | grep nfsd root 292 1 0 Aug 03 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd -a 16 root 2980 2974 0 17:40:50 pts/2 0:00 grep nfsd # |
If a process ID is not returned for the mountd and nfsd daemons, start the NFS daemons:
# /etc/init.d/nfs.server start |
Share the directory containing the distributions for the Foundation Services and the Solaris operating system by adding the following lines to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file:
share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 software-distribution-dir |
where software-distribution-dir is the directory that contains the Foundation Services packages and Solaris patches.
Share the directories that are defined in the /etc/dfs/dfstab file:
# shareall |
Log in to the a master-eligible node as superuser.
Create the mount point directories Solaris and NetraHASuite on the master-eligible node:
# mkdir /NetraHASuite # mkdir /Solaris |
Mount the Foundation Services and Solaris distribution directories on the installation server:
# mount -F nfs \ installation-server-IP-address:/software-distribution-dir/NetraHAS2.1 \ /NetraHASuite # mount -F nfs \ installation-server-IP-address:/Solaris-distribution-dir \ /Solaris |
installation-server-IP-address is the IP address of the cluster network interface that is connected to the installation server.
software-distribution-dir is the directory that contains the Foundation Services packages.
Solaris-distribution-dir is the directory that contains the Solaris distribution.
Repeat Step 5 through Step 7 on the other master-eligible node.
After you have completed the Solaris installation, install the necessary patches. The Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 README contains the list of Solaris patches delivered in the Foundation Services distribution that you must install.
Note - Some of these patches are required for CGTP. If you do not plan to install CGTP, do not install the CGTP patches. For more information about the impact of not installing CGTP, see Choosing a Cluster Network.
