Cluster Nodes: UnixArena,UnixArena1
Cluster Software: Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1.
Operating System:Solaris 11
1.Download the oracle Solaris cluster from oracle website.You may need oracle support login to download it.The file name will be “osc-4_1-ga-repo-full.iso” .
2. Copy the file to your cluster nodes using winscp.
3. Create a device file for ISO image to mount on both the nodes.
root@UnixArena:~# lofiadm -a /osc-4_1-ga-repo-full.iso
/dev/lofi/1
4.Create the mount point and mount it on both the cluster nodes.
root@UnixArena:~# mkdir -p /testrepo/hasol1
root@UnixArena:~# mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /testrepo/hasol1
root@UnixArena:~#
5.Set the package publisher on both cluster nodes.
root@UnixArena:~# pkg set-publisher -g file:///testrepo/hasol1 ha-cluster
pkg set-publisher: The origin URIs for 'ha-cluster' do not appear to point to a valid pkg repository.
Please verify the repository's location and the client's network configuration.
Additional details:
Unable to contact valid package repository
Encountered the following error(s):
Transport errors encountered when trying to contact repository.
Reported the following errors:
file protocol error: code: 22 reason: The path '/testrepo/hasol1' does not contain a valid package repository.
Repository URL: 'file:///testrepo/hasol1'.
root@UnixArena:~#
oops…We are not pointing the correct repo file.
6.set the correct the repo file and rebuild the index using pkg command.
root@UnixArena:~# pkg set-publisher -g file:///testrepo/hasol1/repo ha-cluster
root@UnixArena:~# pkg rebuild-index
PHASE ITEMS
Building new search index 884/884
root@UnixArena:~#
7.List the available publisher. You can see the newly configured cluster repo here.
root@UnixArena:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
solaris origin online F file:///testrepo/
ha-cluster origin online F file:///testrepo/hasol1/repo/
root@UnixArena:~#
8.Install the oracle solaris cluster using pkg command on both the commands.
root@UnixArena:~# pkg install ha-cluster-full

root@UnixArena:~# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/cluster/bin
We have successfully installed the oracle cluster 4.1 on both cluster nodes.The installation is so simple like veritas cluster. Very soon we will see the configuration part.
Thank you for visiting UnixArena.
