Creating VCS configuration files

After installing the RPMs, the installer continues to create configuration files and copies them to each system:

Creating Cluster Server configuration files ............ Done

Copying configuration files to north.................... Done

Copying configuration files to south.................... Done

Cluster Server configured successfully.

If you chose to configure the cluster in secure mode, the installer also configures the Symantec Product Authentication Service. Depending on the mode you chose to set up Authentication Service, the installer creates security principal or executes the encrypted file to create security principal on each node in the cluster. The installer creates the VxSS service group, creates Authentication Server credentials on each node in the cluster, and Web credentials for VCS users, and sets up trust with the root broker. Then, the installer proceeds to start VCS in secure mode.

Verifying the NIC configuration

The installer verifies on all the nodes if all NICs have PERSISTENT_NAME set correctly.

If the persistent interface names are not configured correctly for the network devices, the installer displays the following warnings:

Verifying that all NICs have PERSISTENT_NAME set correctly on 
north:
 
 


For VCS to run correctly, the names of the NIC cards must be boot 
persistent.
