1. ## Installing the Foundation Services on the Master-Eligible Nodes The following procedures explain how to install the Foundation Services on the master-eligible nodes: To Install the `nhadm` Tool To Install the Carrier Grade Transport Protocol To Install the Node State Manager To Install the Cluster Membership Manager To Install the Reliable NFS To Install the Node Management Agent To Install the Daemon Monitor To Install the Watchdog Timer ### To Install the `nhadm` Tool The `nhadm` tool is a cluster administration tool that can verify that the installation was completed correctly. You can run this tool when your cluster is up and running. As superuser, install the `nhadm` tool package on each master-eligible node:
       # pkgadd -d /NetraHASuite/Packages/ SUNWnhadm
2. ### To Install the Carrier Grade Transport Protocol CGTP enables a redundant network for your cluster. Note - If you do not require CGTP, do not install the CGTP packages. For more information about the impact of not installing CGTP, see Choosing a Cluster Network. Before you install the CGTP packages, make sure that you have installed the Solaris patches for CGTP. See To Install Solaris Patches. As superuser, install the following CGTP packages on each master-eligible node:
       # pkgadd -d /NetraHASuite/Packages/ SUNWnhtpx SUNWnhtux
1. where x is `8` or `9` depending on the version of the Solaris operating system you install. ### To Install the Node State Manager As superuser, install the Node State Manager packages on each master-eligible node:
       # pkgadd -d /NetraHASuite/Packages/ SUNWnhnsa SUNWnhnsb
1. Note - During the installation of the Node State Manager packages, the `/etc/opt/SUNWcgha/not_configured` file is created automatically. This file enables you to reboot a cluster node during the installation process without starting the Foundation Services. For more information about the Node State Manager, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Overview. ### To Install the Cluster Membership Manager As superuser, install the following Cluster Membership Manager (CMM) packages on each master-eligible node:
       # pkgadd -d /NetraHASuite/Packages/ SUNWnhcdt SUNWnhhb \
       SUNWnhcmd SUNWnhcma SUNWnhcmb
1. Note - During the installation of the CMM packages, the `/etc/opt/SUNWcgha/not_configured` file is created automatically. This file enables you to reboot a cluster node during the installation process without starting the Foundation Services. For instructions on configuring the CMM, see Configuring the Foundation Services on the Master-Eligible Nodes. For information about the CMM, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Overview. ### To Install the Reliable NFS Install the Reliable NFS packages to enable the Reliable NFS service and disk mirroring features of Foundation Services. For a description of the Reliable NFS service, see "File Sharing and Data Replication" in Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Overview. The Reliable NFS feature is enabled by the StorEdge Network Data Replicator (SNDR), which is provided with the Reliable NFS packages. Note - SNDR is supplied for use only with the Foundation Services. Any use of this product other than on a Foundation Services cluster is not supported. As superuser, install the following Reliable NFS and SNDR packages on a master-eligible node in the following order:
       # pkgadd -d /NetraHASuite/Packages/ SUNWscmr \
       SUNWscmu SUNWspsvr SUNWspsvu SUNWrdcr SUNWrdcu SUNWnhfsa SUNWnhfsb
Note - During the installation of the SNDR package `SUNWscmu`, you might be asked to specify a database configuration location. You can choose to use the SNDR directory that is automatically created. This directory is of the format `/sndr` xy`` where x.y is the version of the SNDR release. Repeat Step 1 on the second master-eligible node Install the SNDR patches on each master-eligible node. See the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 README for a list of SNDR patches. Edit the `/usr/kernel/drv/rdc.conf` file on each master-eligible node to change the value of the `rdc_bitmap_mode` parameter. To have changes to the bitmaps written on the disk at each update, change the value of the `rdc_bitmap_mode` parameter to 1. To have changes to the bitmaps stored in memory at each update, change the value of the `rdc_bitmap_mode` parameter to 2. In this case, changes are written on the disk when the node is shut down. However, if both master-eligible nodes fail, both disks must be synchronized. For example: `rdc_bitmap_mode=2`. ### To Install the Node Management Agent Install the Node Management Agent (NMA) packages to gather statistics on Reliable NFS, CGTP, and CMM. For a description of the NMA, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Overview. The NMA consists of four packages. One NMA package is installed on both master-eligible nodes. Three packages are NFS-mounted as shared middleware software on the first master-eligible node. The first master-eligible node is the node that is booted first after you complete installing and configuring all the services on the master-eligible nodes. The NMA requires the Java DMK packages, `SUNWjsnmp` and `SUNWjdrt`, to run. For information about installing the entire Java DMK software, see the Java Dynamic Management Kit 5.0 Installation Guide. The following table describes the packages that are required on each type of node. Table 6-3 NMA and Java DMK Packages Installed on the Master-Eligible Nodes
Package | Description | Installed On
--- | --- | ---
`SUNWjsnmp` | Java DMK 5.0 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) manager API classes | Both master-eligible nodes
`SUNWjdrt` | Java DMK 5.0 dynamic management runtime classes | First master-eligible node
`SUNWnhmas` | NMA configuration and startup script | Both master-eligible nodes
`SUNWnhmaj` | NMA Java classes | First master-eligible node
`SUNWnhmal` | NMA JNI libraries | First master-eligible node
`SUNWnhmad` | NMA Javadoc files | First master-eligible node
1. Follow this procedure to install and configure the NMA. As superuser, install the following NMA package and Java DMK package on both master-eligible nodes:
       # pkgadd -d /NetraHASuite/Packages/ SUNWnhmas SUNWjsnmp
2. On the first master-eligible node, install the following shared Java DMK package and NMA packages:
       # pkgadd -d /NetraHASuite/Packages/ \
       -M -R /SUNWcgha/local/export/services \
       -a none SUNWjdrt SUNWnhmaj SUNWnhmal SUNWnhmad
The packages are installed with a predefined root path in the `/SUNWcgha/local/export/services` directory. You are asked to specify the `BASEDIR`. Specify a path that identifies the version of the software you are installing, for example, `/ha_v1/opt`. Therefore, the packages are installed in the directory `/SUNWcgha/local/export/services/ha_v1/opt`. To configure the NMA, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 NMA Programming Guide.
