Installation of VCS on Solaris 9

*Install VCS on two nodes Cluster on Solaris 9 *

Following is the procedure to configure 2 nodes clusters

NODE A : sparc1
NODE B : sparc2
Cluster name: ruby-cluster
Cluster id: 100
private nic: qfe0
public nic:  hme0

Configuration of IP on sparc1

# ifconfig hme0 plumb
# ifconfig qfe0 plumb
# ifconfig hme0 192.168.9.171 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# ifconfig qfe0 192.168.8.171 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# route add default XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (give default route IP)

Configuring of IP on sparc2

# ifconfig hme0 plumb
# ifconfig qfe0 plumb
# ifconfig hme0 192.168.9.181 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# ifconfig qfe0 192.168.8.181 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
# route add default XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (give default route IP)

Enable rlogin and ssh for both the system. In order to do that just edit the file /etc/default/login,/etc/ssh/sshd_config and .rhost file.

Next step is to Install VCS software.

Insert the software disc.

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0

# ./installvcs

VERITAS CLUSTER SERVER 4.0 INSTALLATION PROGRAM

Each system requires a VCS product license before installation.  License keys for additional product
features should also be added at this time.

Some license keys are node locked and are unique per system.  Other license keys, such as demo keys and
site license keys, are registered on all systems and must be entered on the first system.

VCS Licensing Verification:

VERITAS CLUSTER SERVER 4.0 INSTALLATION PROGRAM

It is possible to install VCS packages without performing configuration.

VCS cannot be started without proper configuration.

It is optional to configure VCS now. If you choose to configure VCS later, you can either do so manually
or run the installvcs -configure command.
Are you ready to configure VCS? [y,n,q] (y)

VERITAS CLUSTER SERVER 4.0 INSTALLATION PROGRAM

installvcs will now ask sets of VCS configuration-related questions.

When a [b] is presented after a question, ‘b’ may be entered to go back to the first question of the
configuration set.

When a [?] is presented after a question, ‘?’ may be entered for help or additional information about the
question.

Following each set of questions, the information you have entered will be presented for confirmation.  To
repeat the set of questions and correct any previous errors, enter ‘n’ at the confirmation prompt.

No configuration changes are made to the systems until all configuration questions are completed and VCS
is installed successfully.
