Installing the Quorum Server
Read this entire document and any other Release Notes or READMEs
you may have before you begin an installation.
The Quorum Server software, which has to be running during cluster
configuration, must be installed on a system other than the nodes on
which your cluster will be running. This could be a single Linux or
HP-UX system, or it could be a separate cluster.
If you are updating from an older version of Quorum Server, see the
instructions below.
IMPORTANT Order is important if you are updating Quorum Server and also updating
Serviceguard. You must update Quorum Server before updating
Serviceguard. See the instructions below.
Installing on HP-UX
Use the swinstall command to install the Quorum Server, product
number B8467BA, on the system or systems where it will run. You must
install the Quorum Server on a node outside the cluster (or clusters) that
it will serve. The only installation required on the clusters that use the
Quorum Server lock is Serviceguard itself.
If you are updating from an earlier version of Quorum Server, skip to the
upgrading instructions below.
To install from the web, go to http://software.hp.com. Select High
Availability, then HP Serviceguard Quorum Server for HP-UX.
Step 1. Download B8467BA version A.03.00, and store it to disk.
Step 2. Run the swinstall command on this depot. Select B8467BA A.03.00
Quorum Server.
The Quorum Server executable file, qs, is installed in the /usr/lbin
directory. When the installation is complete, you need to create an
authorization file on the server where the Quorum Server will be
running, to allow specific cluster nodes to obtain quorum services. See
“Creating and Updating the Authorization File” on page 26.
