2. Chapter 5 # Installing Standalone CGTP With the Reliable Boot Service After you have installed and connected the hardware for your standalone diskless nodes and the two-node cluster, you are ready to install the software on the nodes. You can install the software using the `nhinstall` tool, or by manual installation. For introductory information about each type of installation, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Overview. Use one of the following procedures to install and configure CGTP on the standalone nodes and the Foundation Services on the two-node cluster: To Install With the `nhinstall` Tool To Install Manually ## Installing With the Reliable Boot Service ### To Install With the `nhinstall` Tool Install and set up the `nhinstall` tool as described in the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide. In the `cluster_definition.conf` file, specify that you are installing standalone nodes:
       DISKLESS_TYPE=STANDALONE
8. For a description of all parameters in the `cluster_definition.conf` file, see the `cluster_definition.conf`(4) man page. Complete the installation and configuration procedure as described in Part II of the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide. ### To Install Manually Check that you have the necessary hardware. See Chapter 4, Preparing to Install Standalone CGTP With the Reliable Boot Service. Prepare the installation environment for a two-node cluster. For information, see "Preparing to Install Manually" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide. Install the Solaris operating system and the Foundation Services on the master-eligible nodes. See "Installing the Software on the Master-Eligible Nodes" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide. Prepare to install the diskless node. See "Preparing to Install a Diskless Node" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide Install the Solaris operating system for the diskless node on the master node. See "Installing the Solaris Operating System for Diskless Nodes on the Master Node" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide. Install and configure the DHCP and the Reliable Boot Service. "Installing the DHCP and the Reliable Boot Service" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide. "Configuring the DHCP for a Diskless Node" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide Configure the DHCP boot policy for the diskless node. See "Configuring the DHCP Boot Policy for Diskless Nodes" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide. Install the Standalone CGTP packages on the diskless node:
       # pkgadd -d pkg-dir SUNWnhtp9 SUNWnhtu9 SUNWnhcdt SUNWnhdbs
9. pkg-dir is the directory where the CGTP packages are located. Install the Standalone CGTP patches on the diskless node using the following command to install each patch:
       # patchadd -d patch-dir patch-list
   For the list of patches for CGTP, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 README. For more information on `patchadd`, see the `patchadd`(1M) man page. After successful installation, the following message is displayed:
       Checking installed patches...
       Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...
       Installing patch packages...
       Patch number patch-number has been successfully installed.
       See /var/sadm/patch/patch-number/log for details
Configure the diskless node: "To Update the Network ID Files for the Diskless Node" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide "To Configure External IP Addresses" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide "To Set up File Systems for a Diskless Node" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide Declare the diskless node to the master-eligible nodes. See "Integrating a Diskless Node Into the Cluster" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide. Boot the master-eligible nodes. Boot the diskless node. When you boot the nodes, the scripts in the `SUNWnhdbs` package create routes from the diskless nodes to the master node by using the floating address triplet of the master node. These routes are used to provide the Reliable Boot Service to the standalone diskless nodes running CGTP.
