Abstract This installation guide provides instructions for system administrators installing a four node OpenSAF development cluster with a 2N redundancy model. The following is a graphical representation of an OpenSAF cluster.
PAGE 3
attempt to install a component that does not have all the necessary prerequisite software, the installation may abort and a list of missing prerequisites will be generated. If this occurs, consult the documentation provided by your Linux distribution for information on locating and installing the prerequisite software and retry the installation. For full functionality, OpenSAF requires the following components: •OpenSAF 3.0.0-M3 •OpenHPI 2.

} b. Comment each line out by adding the pound character (#) to the front of every line. The lines should now look like the following: ## copy must have a unique name. #handler libsimulator { # entity_root = "{SYSTEM_CHASSIS,1}" # name = "simulator" #} 3. To enable the OA SOAP plug-in, edit the /etc/openhpi/openhpi.conf file as follows: a.
PAGE 5
4. Change the SYSTEM_CHASSIS ID from 8 to 2 on the entity_root line as follows: entity_root = "{SYSTEM_CHASSIS,2}" Note: OpenSAF assumes a default SYSTEM_CHASSIS ID of 2. If you must change the SYSTEM_CHASSIS ID OpenSAF configuration and source code must be modified to support the change.
PAGE 6
1-2-1 Starting the SNMP daemon To start the openhpid daemon, login as root and enter the following: # service snmpd restart 1-3 Installing TIPC OpenSAF utilizes the Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol for intra-cluster communication. There are two components required to use this module, the TIPC kernel module and the user space utilities. Fedora 10 and many other Linux distributions include the necessary kernel module.

2 Installing and Configuring OpenSAF This section includes advanced topics on the installation and configuration of OpenSAF. 2-1 Building and Installing OpenSAF 2-1-1 Downloading and Compiling OpenSAF RPMs You only need to build OpenSAFon a single system, the final compiled RPMs can then be copied to each node and installed. To download and build the OpenSAF RPMs, perform the following steps: 1. Login as root and enter the following commands: # # # # # # # cd ~ wget http://download.opensaf.
PAGE 8
2-2-1 Configuring each node in the cluster By default, Fedora 10 enables a firewall that blocks the ports that OpenSAF uses to communicate. Proper firewall configuration is outside the scope of this installation guide. This installation guide only covers installation of a non-production development cluster where external security is not an issue, as this guide documents how to disable the firewall entirely, this is not recommended for a production or publicly connected server.
PAGE 9
4. At the warning message prompt, select “Yes”. Important: Completely disabling the Firewall should not be done on production or internet facing systems. Every node in the cluster needs a unique slot ID, where slot ID of 1 and 2 specify that the node is a controller node and all other numbers specify the node is a payload. To set the unique slot ID for each node, perform the following steps: 1. On nodeA , login as root and enter the following: # echo 1 > /etc/opensaf/slot_id 2.
PAGE 10
Note: The TIPC ID must be unique to each cluster on the same SUBNET. 1. For every node, edit the /etc/opensaf/script.conf file and find the OPENSAF_TARGET_SYSTEM_ARCH line: ######################################### # TARGET SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE # Choices are: # ATCA (default) # HP_CCLASS # HP_PROLIANT ######################################### export OPENSAF_TARGET_SYSTEM_ARCH="ATCA" 2. Change "ATCA" to "HP_CCLASS".

At the time this document was written, OpenSAF 3.0 was in active development and changing on a daily basis. The snapshot of Milestone 3 was used as a base for the examples in this document. Due to the rapid rate of development, it is recommended that you use the latest version of OpenSAF 3.0 that is currently available. Newer releases can be found at http://download.opensaf.org/releases/ For additional information please refer to the OpenSAF developers site at: http://devel.opensaf.
