VCS requires that the application program files be installed on the same local drive of all cluster nodes and that the application data and log files or other files related to the application data be installed on the shared storage.
Pointers for installing the application on the first node:
Applications may have built-in procedures for running on a cluster. Consult the application documentation to determine whether these procedures are available.
Make sure that the disk groups and volumes are imported and thus mounted on the server before you install the application.
If you have just created the disk groups and volumes, they will be mounted and accessible. When a disk group is created, it is automatically imported on that node. You can verify that the disk group and volumes are accessible if you can see the disk group and volume icons in VEA for the server.
All nodes of the clustered application need to share the same virtual name and IP address.
Remember not to accept the default location for the application data and log files when installing the application. Instead, click to browse to the dynamic volumes that were prepared previously.
Pointers for installing the application on the second node:
To install the application on the second node, deport any disk groups from the first node and import them on the second node.
See Deporting and importing a disk group in a campus cluster.
Make sure that the shared volumes when accessed on the second node have the corresponding drive letters or mount points that they had when accessed from the first node.
See Deporting and importing a disk group in a campus cluster.
If you are installing a database, you may need to stop the database service on the first node while the shared disks are being manipulated by the installation on the second node. After the application is installed, restart the service.
