Figure 4–1 Cluster Example
Sys Disk Example
One way to install WEBES in Figure 4–1 might be as follows:
1. With Node A serving as the base install node, run product install webes from Node A to
place the initial installation onto sys$common on Sys Disk.
Nodes A and B can see the installation. Node C cannot see the installation because it does
not have Sys Disk mounted.
2. Run @svctools_home:[bin]cluster setup from Node A. Node B gets set up with WEBES
(as well as Node A).
Node C is not set up for WEBES. A separate installation must be performed on Node C,
and Nodes A and B will not be able to see the Node C copy of WEBES.
Com Disk Example
An alternative in Figure 4–1 would be to install WEBES to Com Disk instead:
1. With Node B serving as the base install node, run product install webes/dest=com: from
Node B to place the initial installation onto Com Disk.
2. Run @svctools_home:[bin]cluster setup from Node B. The command procedure uses
SYSMAN to set up Nodes A and C to run WEBES from Com Disk.
All three nodes can see the installation directories, and each of the nodes has its own copy
of node specific files while common files are shared through Com Disk.
This kind of common installation does not affect the installed product database on nodes other
than the base install node, however. For example, running $ PRODUCT SHOW HISTORY on
Node A or C does not tell you that WEBES is installed.
