Chapter 5Configuration Stage 1: Creating a Generic Flash ArchiveThis chapter describes stage 1 of the configuration process. It describes how to complete the cluster configuration files, software configuration files, and the configuration files for Solaris JumpStart. This section describes how to create the cluster configuration files cluster.conf, machine.conf, and network.conf. If you are using an example hardware configuration, you can use the templates of the cluster configuration files provided with the product. For the example hardware configuration templates, see Templates for Example Hardware Configurations. Although template files are provided for the example hardware configurations, you may still need to make some modifications. When all the configuration files have been created, create a software load. In addition, create the Solaris JumpStart environment for the prototype machine. Then, you have to boot the prototype machine with the node group software. When the node group software has been installed on the prototype machine, a generic flash archive is created on the build server. When stage 1 has been completed, you have one or more generic flash archives for a generic cluster configuration. This chapter covers the following topics:
Configuration Stage 1 ChecklistBefore you perform configuration stage 1, ensure that you have:
Configuration Stage 1 ProcedureThe following figure shows the configuration procedure for stage 1. Figure 5-1 Configuration Stage 1 ![]() Connecting the Prototype Machine to the Build ServerBefore you start configuration stage 1, make sure that you have edited the install-server.conf and master-system.conf files, as described in this section. For information about connecting the prototype machine to the cluster, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Hardware Guide.

# cp /opt/SUNWcgha/nhsmct/etc/models/install-server.conf.tmpl / destination_dir/install-server.conf |
Edit the install-server.conf file.
For more information, see the install-server.conf(4) man page.
Copy the master-system.conf.tmpl file from the /opt/SUNWcgha/nhsmct/etc/models directory to the smct-config-dir/models directory.
While copying the file, remove the *.tmpl extension. For example:
# cp /opt/SUNWcgha/nhsmct/etc/models/master-system.conf.tmpl / destination_dir/master-system.conf |
Edit the master-system.conf file with the Ethernet address configuration.
For more information, see the master-system.conf(4) man page.
This section describes how to configure the connectivity and NFS accessibility of the installation server.
Configure and activate the network interface that is connected to the target cluster.
Ensure that the interface does not conflict with the cluster addressing that is assigned during the installation procedure.
Check that the IP address is not already in use.
If there is an addressing conflict, modify the addressing schema in the master-system.conf and install-server.conf files to resolve the conflict.
