Configuring Storage Foundation on a cluster

  Note   The procedure in this section is only relevant if you are installing an HA version of the Storage Foundation software.

As the installation and configuration procedure continues, a message displays notifying you that configuring the Storage Foundation product at this point in the installation procedure is optional.

 To configure Storage Foundation on a cluster

  1. To invoke the common installer, run the installer command on the disc as shown in this example:

    # cd /dvdrom

    # ./installer

  2. At the product status page, enter C for the Configure an Installed Product and press Return. The product installer is displayed.
  3. You are prompted to enter the system names (in the following example, "host1" and "host2") on which the software is to be installed. Enter the system name or names and then press Return.

    Enter the system names separated by spaces on which to install product_name: host1 host2

  4. At the following prompt, enter y or press Return to configure the Storage Foundation product.

    Are you ready to configure product_name? [y,n,q] (y) y

    You have a VCS license and you are installing product_name
     HA.

  5. When prompted to configure VCS, enter y to configure VCS on these systems.

    Do you want to configure VCS on these systems at this time?

    [y,n,q] (y) y

  6. Enter the unique cluster name and Cluster ID number.

Enter the unique cluster name: [?] vcs_cluster2

Enter the unique Cluster ID number between 0-65535: [b,?] 76

The installer discovers the NICs available on the first system and reports them:

Discovering NICs on host1 ...discovered en0 en1 en2

  1. Enter private heartbeat NIC information for each host.

    Enter the NIC for the first private heartbeat link on host1:

    [b,?] eth1

    Would you like to configure a second private heartbeat link?

    [y,n,q,b,?] (y) y

    Enter the NIC for the second private heartbeat link on host1:

    [b,?] ethn2

    Would you like to configure a third private heartbeat link?

    [y,n,q,b,?] (n) n

    Do you want to configure an additional low priority

    heartbeat link? [y,n,q,b,?] (n) n

    Are you using the same NICs for private heartbeat links on

    all systems? [y,n,q,b,?] (y) y

      Note   When answering y, be sure that the same NICs are available on each system; the installer does not verify this.

    Notice that in this example, en0 is not selected for use as a private heartbeat NIC because it already in use as the public network interface. The default responses are chosen.

  2. A summary of the information you entered is given. When prompted, confirm that the information is correct.

    Is this information correct? [y,n,q] (y)

    If the information is correct, press Return. If the information is not correct, enter n. The installer prompts you to enter the information again.

  3. When prompted to configure the product to use Veritas Security Services, enter y or n to configure.

      Note   Before configuring a cluster to operate using Veritas Security Services, another system must already have Veritas 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 product_name to use Veritas
    Security

    Services? [y,n,q] (n) n

Installation log files, summary file, and response file are

saved at:

/opt/VRTS/install/logs/installsf-7ai12i

When installsf installs software, some software may be

applied rather than committed. It is the responsibility of

the system administrator to commit the software, which can

be performed later with the -c option of the installp

command.
