Installing the SPS Software
IMAGE_NAME is the name of the image
MOUNT_POINT is the path to mount location
2. Change to the sps.img mounted directory and type the following:
./setup
3. Text will appear explaining what is going to occur during the installation procedure. You will
now be asked a series of questions where you will answer “y” for Yes or “n” for No. The type
and sequence of the questions are dependent upon your Linux distribution.
Read each question carefully to ensure a proper response. It is recommended that you answer
Yes to each question in order to complete all the steps required for a successful SPS
Installation.
Note: The Installation image file may install kernel modules to support shared storage devices
or the optional NFS Recovery Kit.
Note: Beginning with SPS 8.1, when performing a kernel upgrade on RedHat
Enterprise Linux systems, it is no longer a requirement that the setup script (./setup)
from the installation image be rerun. Modules should be automatically available to the
upgraded kernel without any intervention as long as the kernel was installed from a
proper RedHat package (rpm file).
4. Next, the SPS Core Packages will be installed.
5. The setup script will then perform the installation of the licensing utilities. See Obtaining and
Installing the License for details.
6. After you have answered all the questions posed by the setup script, you will be informed that
the installation was successful and then be presented with a list of all SPS Recovery Kits
available for installation.
Note: Trace information for execution of the setup scripts is saved in /var/log/LK_install.log.
Note: During an upgrade, please make sure to stop LifeKeeper before running setup.
Note: Previous to SPS for Linux Version 8.1, recovery kits would need to be installed from
their individual image files once the core package install was completed. Now, once the
packages have been installed, you are presented with a list of available kits for selection.
7. Select the kits you would like installed by highlighting the kit and pressing the "space" bar.
This will place an "i" next to each kit that will be installed.
Note: To add kits at a later time, simply run setup again followed by -k:
./setup -k
8. Install the SPS software, as appropriate, on the other server(s) in the cluster using the same
procedure.
For upgrade installations, see Upgrading SPS.
