# Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Standalone CGTP Guide # Preface The Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Standalone CGTP Guide introduces the standalone Carrier Grade Transport Protocol (CGTP). This book describes how to install standalone CGTP on a node that is not part of a Foundation Services cluster. The Netra™ High Availability (HA) Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 product is described in the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Overview. Use standalone CGTP for reliable transport between nodes over dual redundant network links. CGTP is the only service running on these nodes. Standalone CGTP has all the features of the CGTP in the Foundation Services. Standalone CGTP can be installed with or without the Reliable Boot Service. If you want to run CGTP on diskless nodes, the Reliable Boot Service enables the nodes to be booted by a master node. This master node is backed up by a vice-master node. These nodes, called master-eligible nodes, remove the single point of failure for standalone nodes running the CGTP. To install standalone CGTP with the Reliable Boot Service, you install the Foundation Services on the master-eligible nodes. The diskless nodes are installed only with the CGTP but are configured to be booted by the master node. You can install the standalone CGTP with the Reliable Boot Service by using one of the following methods: `nhinstall` tool Manual installation For more information, see Part II, Standalone CGTP With the Reliable Boot Service. Alternatively, you can install CGTP manually without the Reliable Boot Service on standalone nodes. For more information, see Part I, Standalone CGTP Without the Reliable Boot Service. ## Who Should Use This Book Use this book if you are an operator or system administrator who plans to install, configure, or maintain standalone CGTP on nodes. Do not use this book if you are using CGTP as part of the Foundation Services. When CGTP is used on cluster nodes that are running the Foundation Services, CGTP is configured by the Cluster Membership Manager at cluster startup. ## How This Book Is Organized This book is organized as follows: Part I, Standalone CGTP Without the Reliable Boot Service describes how to install and configure standalone CGTP without the Reliable Boot Service. Chapter 1, Preparing to Install Standalone CGTP Without the Reliable Boot Service describes how to define the topology of your standalone nodes. This chapter also lists the installation prerequisites. Chapter 2, Installing Standalone CGTP Without the Reliable Boot Service explains how to install the standalone CGTP patches and packages. Chapter 3, Configuring Standalone CGTP Without the Reliable Boot Service describes how to configure standalone CGTP. Part II, Standalone CGTP With the Reliable Boot Service describes how to install and configure standalone CGTP with the Reliable Boot Service. Chapter 4, Preparing to Install Standalone CGTP With the Reliable Boot Service outlines the prerequisites for installing standalone CGTP with the Reliable Boot Service. Chapter 5, Installing Standalone CGTP With the Reliable Boot Service describes how to install and configure standalone CGTP with the Reliable Boot Service. You can install CGTP using the `nhinstall` tool, or by manual installation. ## Related Documentation When working through this book, you might want to consult the Solaris 9 documentation set.
