Installing the VRTSvrmcsg Package

This section describes the procedure to install VRTSvrmcsg package, using either the command line or the GUI.

Before Installing the VRTSvrmcsg Package

To install the package through a graphical user interface on each system, perform the following steps.

  1. Log in as root.
  2. Set the display permission on your workstation:
    # xhost +<myws>
  3. Configure the shell environment variable DISPLAY to your workstation. For example, if your workstation has the name myws, type:

    For Bourne or Korn shell (sh or ksh):


    # DISPLAY=myws:0.0
    # export DISPLAY

    For C shell (csh or tcsh):


    # setenv DISPLAY myws:0.0

    Setting the DISPLAY environment variable in this way enables you to use the SD-UX graphical interface.

Proceed to the following section if each system in the cluster has a DVD-ROM drive. Otherwise, proceed to the section Installing the VRTSvrmcsg Package From a Software Depot.

Mounting the DVD-ROM

  1. Insert the disc into a drive connected to your system.
  2. Log in as root.
  3. Create a mount point directory, /dvdrom, if it does not exist. The directory must have read/write permissions.
  4. Determine the block device file for the DVD-ROM drive:
    # ioscan -fnC disk

    For example, the listing may indicate the DVD-ROM drive's block device is /dev/dsk/c1t2d0; make a note of the device file as it applies to your system.


    Note   Note    The format for the device access name is cxtydz, where x is the
    controller number, y is the target number, and z is the device number.

  5. Mount the software disc. For example, to mount the disc having block device /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 to the mount point /dvdrom, enter:
    # mount -o ro /dev/dsk/clt2d0 /dvdrom

    To list the packages on the DVD-ROM:


    # cd /dvdrom/depot
    # ls

Installing the VRTSvrmcsg Package From the Software Disc

If each system in the cluster has a DVD-ROM drive, use the following steps to install the package on each system in the cluster.

You must perform these steps on every node that is intended to be a part of the cluster.

  1. If you have not mounted the DVD-ROM drive follow the procedure given in the section Mounting the DVD-ROM.
  2. Use the swinstall command to install the package.
    # swinstall -s /dvdrom/depot VRTSvrmcsg
    Note   Note    The VRTSvrmcsg package will be installed in the location/opt/VRTSvrmcsg. The VRTSvrmcsg directory is created during installation.
  3. When the installation is complete, verify that the package is installed, by using the following command:
    # swlist | grep VRTSvrmcsg
  4. Repeat step 1 to step 3 on each node that is intended to be a part of the cluster.

Installing the VRTSvrmcsg Package From a Software Depot

This method of installing the package is used when only one node in the cluster has a DVD-ROM drive or when you are installing to a cluster with several machines. In this case use the SD-UX swcopy command to copy the package from the software disc to a software depot on the same node. From that depot, you can install the package on each node in the cluster over the local network.

  1. Install VRTSvrmcsg package on the node in the cluster with a DVD-ROM using the procedure given in the section, Installing the VRTSvrmcsg Package From the Software Disc.
  2. On the same node on which the software disc is mounted, start the SD-UX user interface to copy the package to a depot.

    To copy the packages to the /var/spool/sw directory, use the following command:


    # swcopy -s /dvdrom/depot

    If the depot name is different then use the following command:

    # swcopy -s /var/spool/<depot_name>

  3. Click OK.
  4. To copy the package from the Software Selection screen, perform the following steps:
    1. Highlight VRTSvrmcsg and choose the Mark for Copy option from the Actions menu.
    2. After marking the package for copying, choose the Copy option from the Actions menu.
    3. When the copy analysis is complete, click OK.
    4. Choose Done on the confirmation screen when you see that the copying is complete.
    5. Exit SD-UX.
  5. On each of the other nodes login as root.
  6. Install the package from the depot by typing:
    # swinstall -s <depothost>:/var/spool/sw VRTSvrmcsg
  7. Verify that the package is installed correctly by using the following command:
    swlist | grep VRTSvrmcsg
  8. Repeat step 5 to step 7 to install the package on each of the nodes.
