Title:TThier/DBAtips/9iRAConSolaris9/insSunCluster31.html
Author: Dan Bikle


This page contains some information I gathered while I installed 
Sun Cluster 3.1 on Solaris 9.

I started this effort by installing "The SAN packages":

SAN Packages
SANpkg.html

Also, I edited /etc/system so that Sun Cluster could make use of shared memory:

etcSystem.txt

Then, I obtained the Sun Cluster 3.1 software.

After I unpacked the software I saw this:

mule-1# pwd

Next, I started work on installation worksheets which are discussed here:
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-5317/6mbfhkuqd?a=view

At this point I was at the location listed below in the installation documentation:
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-3388/6m9m20hoh

The documentation did not tell me to get patches from 
http://patchpro.sun.com/
but I am experienced enough to know this.

So, I went to http://patchpro.sun.com/ and used their
interface to specify and download Solaris 9 patches related to Sun Cluster 3.1.

The interface is comprehensive; here is what I saw:
patchPro1.png
patchPro2.png
patchPro3.png
patchPro4.png


It suggested the following list of patches:

Sun Cluster Patches (pre-install):
sunclustPreInsPatches.txt
patchPro5.png

Sun Cluster Patches
sunclustPatches.txt
patchPro6.png

Post-Sun Cluster Patches
sunclustPostInsPatches.txt
patchPro7.png

After I installed the "Sun Cluster Patches (pre-install)" on both nodes,
I ran scinstall on node1.

This step corresponds to these documentation locations:
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-3388/6m9m20hoj?a=view#z40001fb1003761
installationNotes.html
installTask3.html

Here are screen dumps related to my interactions with the scinstall utility:

scinstallNode1.txt
Then, I ran scinstall on node2:
scinstallNode2.txt

Then, I followed instructions located here:

Perform post-installation setup and assign quorum votes:
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-3388/6m9m20hp1?a=view#cihecfab
