======================================================================
Overview
======================================================================
This README.install file describes how to install and setup the
PrimeAlert High Availability modules.
It consists of the following sections:
- Definitions
- Extracting the Distribution
- Installation Instructions
. Server Packages
. Agent Packages
- Uninstallation Instructions
. Server Packages
. Agent Packages
- Install & Uninstall Logs
- Module Loading
Definitions
======================================================================
Server Host The host where the Sun Management Center server is
installed and running. This system must be a Solaris
host, and contain the package SUNWessrv.
Agent Host A host where a Sun Management Center agent is
installed and running. This system must be a Solaris
host, and contain the package SUNWesagt.
Sparse root zones available on Solaris 10+ systems
do not require SUNWesagt but the SunMC agents should be
configured before enabling zone support for this
product.
ESROOT For SunMC 3.0 or higher, this directory is determined
by the user while installing SunMC; the default value
is /opt/SUNWsymon. To determine the value of ESROOT
on a SunMC agent host, run the command (for Solaris 10+
zoned environment, run the following command in a non
sparse root zone):
# echo "`pkgparam SUNWesagt BASEDIR`/SUNWsymon"
Extracting the Distribution
======================================================================
The PrimeAlert High Availability distribution file,
HALsmxhas_1.2.0.tar.gz
must be extracted on a UNIX host before any packages can be installed.
For example, assume that the distribution file has been copied to the
following directory:
/tmp
In this case, the procedure for extracting the distribution will be:
% su -
# cd /tmp
# gzip -d HALsmxhas_1.2.0.tar.gz
# tar -xvf HALsmxhas_1.2.0.tar
Following the example above, the source directory <EXTRACT_DIR> would
be the following:
/tmp/HALsmxhas_1.2.0
Installation Instructions
======================================================================
This product may be installed using Halcyon's standard installation
method or with Sun Management Center's Agent Update feature. To
install the product with Agent Update, refer to the instructions in
the following file:
./AgentUpdate/README-AgentUpdate.html
or
http://www.halcyoninc.com/support/README-AgentUpdate.html
NOTE:
If you choose to use Agent Update, then all Halcyon products must be
installed using Agent Update. It is not possible to use Agent
Update in conjunction with any other installation procedure.

continue with the instructions outlined in this section.
There is one optional and two required steps to install this product:
1. Install the server host packages
2. Install the agent host packages
3. Zone configuration (optional)
1. Server Packages (Solaris)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To install the "PrimeAlert High Availability" module packages
on the Sun Management Center server host, do the following:
1. Become the "root" user on the Sun Management Center server host
2. Extract the distribution file
3. Run the install script
4. Restart the metadata server and the agent
% su -
# cd <EXTRACT_DIR> (i.e. /tmp/HALsmxhas_1.2.0)
# ./HALHighAvailability-install.sh
# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -ma
# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -ma
The following packages are installed or upgraded:
- HALmmshas
- HALmmskit
- HALsmakit
2. Agent Packages (Solaris)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation of the agent host packages is similar to the server
host packages installation.
To install the "PrimeAlert High Availability" module packages
on the Sun Management Center agent host, do the following:
1. Become the "root" user on the Sun Management Center agent host
2. Extract the distribution file
3. Run the install script
4. Restart the agent
% su -
# cd <EXTRACT_DIR> (i.e. /tmp/HALsmxhas_1.2.0)
# ./HALHighAvailability-install.sh
# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -a
# /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -a
The following packages are installed or upgraded by the installation:
- HALmmahas
- HALsmakit
3. Zone Configuration
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would like to use this product in a Solaris whole root zoned
environment, just install the module as if it is a global zone.
If you would like to use this product in a Solaris sparse root zoned
environment, ensure SunMC agent is configured in the sparse root zone.
Perform the following steps in each sparse root zone where the
product is required after installing it in the global zone:
# zlogin [name of sparse root zone]
# $ESROOT/sbin/HALZoneConfig.sh
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-stop -a
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-start -a
