2. ## Setting Up the Master-Eligible Nodes To prepare the master-eligible nodes for the installation of the Foundation Services, you must configure the master-eligible nodes. You must also mount the installation server directory that contains the Foundation Services distribution. ### To Configure the Master-Eligible Nodes Log in to a master-eligible node as superuser. Create `/etc/notrouter` file:
       # touch /etc/notrouter
3. Modify the `/etc/default/login` file so that you can connect to a node from a remote system as superuser:
       # mv /etc/default/login /etc/default/login.orig
       # chmod 644 /etc/default/login.orig
       # sed '1,$s/^CONSOLE/#CONSOLE/' /etc/default/login.orig > /etc/default/login
       # chmod 444 /etc/default/login
4. Disable power management:
       # touch /noautoshutdown
5. Modify the `.rhosts` file according to the security policy for your cluster:
       # touch /.rhosts
       # cp /.rhosts /.rhosts.orig
       # echo "+ root" > /.rhosts
       # chmod 444 /.rhosts
6. Set the boot parameters:
       # /usr/sbin/eeprom local-mac-address?=true
       # /usr/sbin/eeprom auto-boot?=true
       # /usr/sbin/eeprom diag-switch?=false
9. (Optional) If you are using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to run an external clock, configure the master-eligible node as an NTP server. This procedure is described in the Solaris documentation. (Optional) If your master-eligible node has an IDE disk, edit the `/usr/kernel/drv/sdbc.conf` file. Change the value of the `sdbc_max_fbas` parameter from `1024` to `256`. Create the `data/etc` and `data/var/dhcp` directories in the `/SUNWcgha/local/export/` file system on the master-eligible node:
       # mkdir -p /SUNWcgha/local/export/data/etc
       # mkdir -p /SUNWcgha/local/export/data/var/dhcp
2. `/SUNWcgha/local/export/data/etc` directory is required for the CMM. `/SUNWcgha/local/export/data/var/dhcp` directory is required for the Reliable Boot Service. Repeat Step 1 through Step 9 on the second master-eligible node. ### To Mount an Installation Server Directory on the Master-Eligible Nodes Log in to the installation server as superuser. Check that the `mountd` and `nfsd` daemons are running on the installation server. For example, use the `ps` command:
       # ps -ef | grep mountd
       root   184     1  0   Aug 03 ?        0:01 /usr/lib/autofs/automountd
       root   290     1  0   Aug 03 ?        0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/mountd
       root  2978  2974  0 17:40:34 pts/2    0:00 grep mountd
       # ps -ef | grep nfsd
       root   292     1  0   Aug 03 ?        0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd -a 16
       root  2980  2974  0 17:40:50 pts/2    0:00 grep nfsd
       #
   If a process ID is not returned for the `mountd` and `nfsd` daemons, start the NFS daemons:
       # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
3. Share the directory containing the distributions for the Foundation Services and the Solaris operating system by adding the following lines to the `/etc/dfs/dfstab` file:
       share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 software-distribution-dir
4. where software-distribution-dir is the directory that contains the Foundation Services packages and Solaris patches. Share the directories that are defined in the `/etc/dfs/dfstab` file:
       # shareall
6. Log in to the a master-eligible node as superuser. Create the mount point directories `Solaris` and `NetraHASuite` on the master-eligible node:
       # mkdir /NetraHASuite
       # mkdir /Solaris
7. Mount the Foundation Services and Solaris distribution directories on the installation server:
       # mount -F nfs \
       installation-server-IP-address:/software-distribution-dir/NetraHAS2.1 \
       /NetraHASuite
       # mount -F nfs \
       installation-server-IP-address:/Solaris-distribution-dir \
       /Solaris
2. installation-server-IP-address is the IP address of the cluster network interface that is connected to the installation server. software-distribution-dir is the directory that contains the Foundation Services packages. Solaris-distribution-dir is the directory that contains the Solaris distribution. Repeat Step 5 through Step 7 on the other master-eligible node. ### To Install Solaris Patches After you have completed the Solaris installation, install the necessary patches. The Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 README contains the list of Solaris patches delivered in the Foundation Services distribution that you must install. Note - Some of these patches are required for CGTP. If you do not plan to install CGTP, do not install the CGTP patches. For more information about the impact of not installing CGTP, see Choosing a Cluster Network. Log in to each master-eligible node as superuser. Install the necessary Solaris patches on each master-eligible node:
       # patchadd -M /NetraHASuite/Patches/ patch-number
