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.
Console Host A host where the Sun Management Center console is
installed and running. This system may be a Solaris or
a windows host. On Solaris is contains the package
SUNWescon.
ESROOT For Sun Management Center (Sun MC) 3.0 or higher, this
directory is determined by the user while installing
Sun MC; the default value is /opt/SUNWsymon. To
determine the value of ESROOT on a Sun MC 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 for Veritas Cluster Server distribution file,
HALsmxvc4_[version].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 HALsmxvc4_[version].tar.gz
# tar -xvf HALsmxvc4_[version].tar
Following the example above, the source directory [EXTRACT_DIR] would
be the following:
/tmp/HALsmxvc4_[version]
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.
To install the product with Halcyon's standard installation method,
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 for Veritas Cluster Server" module packages
on the Sun Management Center (Sun MC) 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 Sun MC metadata agent
% su -
# cd [EXTRACT_DIR] (i.e. /tmp/HALsmxvc4_[version])
# ./HALVeritasCS4-install.sh
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-stop -m
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-start -m
Note: During installation on the server host, when asked whether you
want to install the packages for the agent layer, answer "y"
only if the Veritas Cluster Server software is installed on
that particular host.
In general, the agent host packages should only be installed on
hosts where the Veritas Cluster Server application is installed
and running.
2. Agent Packages (Solaris)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation of the agent host packages is similar to the server
host packages installation.
Note: The server host packages should be installed or upgraded before
any of the agent host packages.
To install the "PrimeAlert for Veritas Cluster Server" 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/HALsmxvc4_[version])
# ./HALVeritasCS4-install.sh
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-stop -a
# $ESROOT/sbin/es-start -a
3. Zone Configuration
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would like to use this product in a Solaris whole root zoned
environment, just install the module the same way as in a global zone.
If you would like to use this product in a Solaris sparse root zoned
environment, ensure Sun MC 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
