Verifying That the Installation Server Directories Are SharedBefore you boot the prototype machine, verify that the installation server directories are mounted on the prototype machine and the cluster. For more information, see To Mount the Installation Server Directories Onto the Prototype Machine and the Cluster. Booting the Prototype Machine With the Node Group SoftwareThis section describes how to install the node group software on the prototype machine by using the Solaris JumpStart environment and a boot net installation. The node group software is transferred to the prototype machine from the build server by using Solaris JumpStart. The Solaris operating system, the Foundation Services packages and any user applications are installed on the prototype machine.
|
ok> boot net - install |
The prototype machine performs a Solaris JumpStart from the build server. The prototype machine then installs the node group software, but does not start the Foundation Services.
When the prototype machine has been installed with the node group software, a flash archive of the prototype system can be created.
To verify that the node group software has been successfully installed on the prototype machine, perform the following procedure:
Log in to the prototype machine.
Examine the Solaris JumpStart files /var/sadm/system/logs/finish.log and /var/sadm/system/logs/install_log.
Ensure that these logs contain confirmation that the prototype machine was successfully installed with the node group software.
Run the nhadm tool to check the installation.
# nhadm check installation |
When the node group software has been installed on the prototype machine, use the flcreate command to create the flash archive. The flash archive is created on the build server using the system image from the prototype machine.
The flcreate command creates a generic flash archive. The command is started on the build server but runs remotely on the prototype machine by way of a mounted directory.
Log in to the build server as superuser.
Run the command flcreate:
# flcreate -n SWL1 -v ha_v1 -g master_el -f FLASH_1 |
This example creates the generic flash archive in the directory smct-config-dir/flash. This is the default directory defined by the SMCT_FLASH_DIR environment variable.
Run the flcreate command for each master-eligible node group and dataless node group because each node group is processed individually.
Note - If an error occurs when flcreate is running, manually unmount the /mnt/flash directory from the prototype machine and run the flcreate command again.
For more information on using the flcreate command, see the flcreate(1M) man page.
