Configure cluster in secure mode (optional)
The sample configuration assumes that you have installed the root broker on another system, venus.
Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions 5.0
Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC can be configured to utilize Symantec Security Services.
Running SFRAC in Secure Mode guarantees that all inter-system communication is encrypted and that users are verified with security credentials.
When running SFRAC in Secure Mode, NIS and system usernames and passwords are used to verify identity. SFRAC usernames and passwords are no longer utilized when a cluster is running in Secure Mode.
Before configuring a cluster to operate using Symantec Security Services, another system must already have Symantec Security Services installed and be operating as a Root Broker. Refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide for more information on configuring a VxSS Root Broker.
Would you like to configure SFRAC to use Symantec Security Services? [y,n,q] (n) y
Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions 5.0
Security can be configured completely automatically by the installer or it can also be configured semi automatically. In automatic mode, no user intervention is required. In the semi automatic mode, Authentication Broker related setup on Root Broker is expected to be performed by the Root Broker Administrator and CPI will ask for certain information that will be used to configure Authentication Brokers.
1) Configure security completely automatically
2) Provide AB credentials using BLOBs
3) Provide AB credentials without using BLOBs
Select the Security option you would like to perform [1-3,q,?] (1) 1
In order to enable Symantec Security Services on a SFRAC Cluster, Veritas Authentication Services (VRTSat depot) must be installed on a system and operating as a Root Broker. Refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide for more information on installing and configuring Veritas Authorization Services.
Enter the name of the VxSS Root Broker system: venus

Veritas Volume Manager default disk group configuration:
Many Veritas Volume Manager commands affect the contents or configuration of a disk group. Such commands require that the user specify a disk group. This is accomplished by using the -g option of a command or setting the VXVM_DEFAULTDG environment variable. An alternative to these two methods is to configure the default disk group of a system.
