Configuring the first node

Perform the following steps on one node in your cluster.

To configure security on the first node

  1. Ensure that you are logged in as superuser.
  2. Enter the following command:
    # /opt/VRTS/install/installer -securityonenode

    The installer lists information about the cluster, nodes, and service groups. If VCS is not configured or if VCS is not running on all nodes of the cluster, the installer prompts whether you want to continue configuring security. It then prompts you for the node that you want to configure.

    VCS is not running on all systems in this cluster. All VCS systems
    must be in RUNNING state. Do you want to continue? [y,n,q] (n) y
    1) Perform security configuration on first node and export 
    security configuration files.
    2) Perform security configuration on remaining nodes with 
    security configuration files.
    Select the option you would like to perform [1-2,q.?] 1

    Warning:

    All VCS configurations about cluster users are deleted when you configure the first node. You can use the /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hauser command to create cluster users manually.

  3. The installer completes the secure configuration on the node. It specifies the location of the security configuration files and prompts you to copy these files to the other nodes in the cluster. The installer also specifies the location of log files, summary file, and response file.
  4. Copy the security configuration files from the location specified by the installer to temporary directories on the other nodes in the cluster.
