5. After installation of any required product patches is completed run vxinstall.
If vxinstall has already been run on these systems, this step may be skipped.
This procedure completes initialization steps for the Veritas software prompting for Veritas
licenses (use default response - no), specification of default disk group, and the use
enclosure-based naming. For details on vxinstall, refer to Veritas 5.0 Installation Guide.
6. Verify a successful installation. Use the appropriate bundle product number in place of
T27xxCA: swverify T27xxCA
7. List components installed with: swlist -l product
8. Repeat all steps for each node in the cluster.
9. Refer to Managing Serviceguard for details on configuring the cluster. A high-level summary
of the steps involved in using the Cluster File System includes:
a. Create and start a Serviceguard cluster without a package using Serviceguard Manager
or CFS commands (cmquerycl, cmcheckconf, cmapplyconf, cmruncl).
b. Configure and start the CVM/CFS system multi-node package SG-CFS-pkg using the
cfscluster command.
c. Create the disk groups and volumes on the CVM master node with Veritas Enterprise
Administrator (VEA) or CFS commands (vxdg, vxassist, newfs).
d. Add the CFS disk groups and file systems to the Serviceguard cluster.
• Use the cfsdgadm command to create the disk group multi-node package (for
example, SG-CFS-DG-1) with a same node dependency on SG-CFS-pkg.
• Then use the cfsmntadm command to create the mount point multi-node package,
(for example, SG-CFS-MP-1) with a same-node dependency on the disk group
multi-node package (SG-CFS-DG-1).
• Once a CFS disk group or mount point is configured under a package, it is important
to use CFS commands so that the CFS packages monitor the disk group and mount
points.
For example, use the cfsmount command to mount these filesystems, not the
mount HP-UX command.
e. Complete configuration.
• Create the application package configuration file and control script.
• Specify a same-node dependency on the mount point multi-node package
(SG-CFS-MP-1) in the package ASCII configuration file using CFS commands
(cmmakepkg, edit files).
• Verify, distribute, and apply the configuration using CFS commands
(cmcheckconf, distribute files, cmapplyconf).
f. Activate the multi-node packages and run the application packages using CFS commands
(cfsdgadm, cfsmntadm, cmrunpkg).
