Adding a node to a cluster

Adding a node to a cluster

If you want to add a new node to a multi-node cluster, first prepare the new system hardware. Physically connect the new system to the cluster using private networks and attach to any shared storage. Then install the required OS software. Install all the prerequisite patches mentioned in “Required HP-UX patches” on page 15.

See “Cluster platforms” on page 11.

To add a node to a cluster

1Log into the new system as superuser.

2Determine the block device file for the DVD drive:

#ioscan -fnC disk

Make a note of the device file as it applies to your system.

3Run the following commands to start PFS (Portable File System):

#nohup pfs_mountd &

#nohup pfsd &

4Create a directory in which to mount the software disc and mount the disc using the appropriate drive name. For example:

#mkdir -p /dvdrom

#/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /dvdrom

5Add /opt/VRTS/bin to your PATH and /opt/VRTS/man to your MANPATH environment variables

See “Setting PATH and MANPATH environment variables” on page 18.

6Change to the SFCFS directory.

#cd sfcfs

7Run the installsfcfs script with -installonlyoption to install all the required SFCFS packages on the new node.

#./installsfcfs -installonly

8Enter y to install SFCFS on these systems.

Do you want to install SFCFS on these systems? [y,n,q] (y)

9Enter the system name of the new node to install SFCFS.

Enter the system names separted by spaces on which to install

HP-UX specifications

Symantec HP-UX is a comprehensive security solution engineered to protect the HP-UX operating system, a variant of the UNIX OS developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP). As a robust enterprise environment, HP-UX is widely used in mission-critical applications, particularly in industries such as finance, telecommunications, and manufacturing. Symantec’s integration with HP-UX enhances security, providing essential features that cater to the needs of large organizations.

One of the main features of Symantec HP-UX is its advanced threat protection capabilities. It employs a multi-layered approach to security, utilizing signature-based detection, behavior-based analysis, and heuristics to identify and mitigate known and unknown threats. This real-time protection minimizes the risk of malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats that can compromise sensitive data and disrupt business operations.

In addition to threat protection, Symantec HP-UX includes robust data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. DLP technology helps organizations ensure that their confidential data remains secure by preventing unauthorized access and exfiltration. This feature is particularly important for compliance with regulatory requirements such as GDPR and HIPAA, as it aids in safeguarding customer information.

Another significant characteristic of Symantec HP-UX is its scalability. Designed to handle the demands of enterprise environments, the solution can be easily integrated with existing IT infrastructure while adapting to growing workloads. This functionality is essential for organizations that require flexible security measures to accommodate expansion or changes in business processes.

Security management and reporting are also key components of Symantec HP-UX. The solution provides centralized management tools that allow administrators to monitor security status, deploy updates, and manage policy across multiple systems from a single interface. These tools enhance visibility into security incidents and enable organizations to respond promptly to potential threats.

Moreover, Symantec HP-UX offers automated updates and patch management. Regular updates are crucial for maintaining a secure environment, and the solution ensures that systems are protected against the latest vulnerabilities without requiring extensive manual intervention.

In summary, Symantec HP-UX is a powerful security solution designed for the HP-UX operating system. Its main features include advanced threat protection, data loss prevention, scalability, centralized management, and automated updates. These characteristics make it a vital tool for organizations aiming to protect their data and maintain a secure operational environment in the face of evolving cyber threats.
