Your Integrated System

Your system includes a two-node cluster with shared, mirrored storage, a terminal concentrator, and a management server. The Sun StorEdge T3 arrays are connected to two FC-AL hubs. An Ethernet hub provides connection to the management server and Sun StorEdge T3 arrays. These components are cabled to provide redundant cluster interconnect between nodes, and to provide access to shared storage and production networks.

For more information on the T3 arrays, refer to “Related Documentation” on page ix.

The management server is the repository for software and patches that are loaded on the system. The management server provides access to the cluster console, and it functions as a JumpStart™ server (installation server) for the cluster nodes.

Note The management server has sufficient CPU power and memory to implement a Sun™ Management Center server to monitor the cluster nodes, if advanced system monitoring is required.

Task Overview

To integrate your Cluster Platform 4500/3 into a production environment, you must:

1.Provide a name, IP address, and root password for the management server.

2.Provide a name and IP address for the terminal concentrator.

3.Provide a name for the cluster environment and a default router (gateway).

4.Provide names and IP addresses for individual cluster nodes.

5.Provide names and IP addresses for the Sun StorEdge T3 arrays.

6.Configure shared disk storage under Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS volume manager. Configuration includes the creation of disksets (or disk groups), disk volumes, and file systems.

7.Select a quorum device from the shared disk storage.

8.Install and configure the required highly available applications.

9.Install and configure data services to support the highly available applications.

10.Configure network adapter failover (NAFO) for automatic failover.
