2. ## Installing the `nhinstall` Tool Install the package containing the `nhinstall` tool on the installation server described in the following procedure. ### To Install the `nhinstall` Tool Log in to the installation server as superuser. Install the `nhinstall` package, `SUNWnhins`:
       # pkgadd -d /software-distribution-dir/NetraHAS2.1/Packages/ SUNWnhins
3. where software-distribution-dir is the directory that contains the Foundation Services packages. To access the man pages on the installation server, install the man page package, `SUNWnhman`:
       # pkgadd -d /software-distribution-dir/NetraHAS2.1/Packages/ SUNWnhman
where ``software-distribution-dir`` is the directory that contains the Foundation Services packages. ## Configuring the `nhinstall` Tool After you have installed the package containing the `nhinstall` tool, configure the `nhinstall` tool to install the Foundation Services on your cluster. To configure the `nhinstall` tool, modify the following configuration files: `env_installation.conf` Use this configuration file to define the installation environment. This file enables you to define the IP address of the installation server and the locations of the software distributions for the Solaris operating system and Foundation Services. You must modify this configuration file. For details on each option available, see the `env_installation.conf`(4) man page. `cluster_definition.conf` Use this configuration file to define the cluster ID, cluster interfaces, hardware architecture, and addresses for each node. In this file, you can also specify the diskless nodes in your cluster. You must modify this configuration file. For details on each option available, see the `cluster_definition.conf`(4) man page. `addon.conf` Use this configuration file to specify additional packages and patches that you want to install during the installation process. This file is optional. If this file is not configured, the `nhinstall` tool does not install any additional patches or packages. To benefit from the enhancements in the current patch level of this product, you must install patches. For more information, see the `addon.conf`(4) man page and the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 README. When installing patches, see the README provided with each patch for details of modifications you must make to `addon.conf` for specific hardware. `nodeprof.conf` Use this configuration file if you want to specify the set of Solaris packages to be installed on the cluster. The default package set is defined in the `nodeprof.conf.template` file. For more information, see the `nodeprof.conf`(4) man page. `diskless_nodeprof.conf` If you do not create this file, the same set of Solaris packages is installed on the master-eligible and diskless nodes. Create the `diskless_nodeprof.conf` file, if you want to install a different set of Solaris packages on the diskless nodes to that which you install on the master-eligible nodes. For more information, see the `diskless_nodeprof.conf`(4) man page. The following sections describe in detail the main configuration options of the `nhinstall` tool: Configuring the Disk Partitions Configuring the Scoreboard Bitmaps Configuring the NFS Option `noac` Configuring a Direct Link Between the Master-Eligible Nodes Configuring Automatic Reboot for the Master-Eligible Nodes Configuring the Carrier Grade Transport Protocol Configuring the Environment for Diskless Nodes Configuring the Boot Policy for Diskless Nodes Configuring DHCP Configuration Files Locally on Master-Eligible Nodes Configuring the Watchdog Timer Configuring the Cluster IP Addresses Configuring the Floating External Address of the Master Node Configuring External IP Addresses for Cluster Nodes Configuring Volume Management Specifying the Version of the Operating System to be Installed on the Cluster Selecting the Solaris Package Set to be Installed Installing a Different Version of the Operating System on Diskless Nodes Configuring Reduced Duration of Disk Synchronization Configuring Masterless Cluster Configuring Delayed Synchronization Configuring Sanity Check of Replicated Slices Configuring a Data Management Policy Configuring Serialized Slice Synchronization Configuring the Default Router to the Public Network
