Installation Manual iManager M2000 Two-node Cluster Hot Backup system

Chapter 1 Introduction to the Hardware of Hot Backup System

1-1


This chapter introduces the features, networking, and hardware configuration of the hot backup system.

1.1 Features of the Hot Backup System The iManager M2000 hot backup system is a combination of the iManager M2000 and the Sun cluster.

The system has the following features:

Minimize system down time caused by software or hardware faults. These faults usually result in system down if a single-host server is configured.

Improve system maintainability and allow in-service maintenance of the system.

The combination of the software and hardware of the iManager M2000 hot backup system guarantees its high availability. The redundant cluster interconnection, memory, and public network prevent the occurrence of single-point faults.

The hot backup system monitors the system software and hardware continuously. It automatically performs switchover or restarts the M2000 system when a fault occurs.

1.2 System Networking Figure 1-1 shows the system networking.

Figure 1-1 Networking of the M2000 two-node cluster hot backup system

Two M2000 servers (high-performance Sun servers) act as the two nodes of the cluster. Here, take the V880 for example. The master and slave nodes are respectively named m2000svr-1 and m2000svr-2. The network interface name varies with the network adapter configured.

Two disk arrays (Sun StorEdge3310) act as the mirror for each other.

The terminal concentrator (TC) connects the administrative console with the two nodes.

The administrative console performs single-node management on the cluster system and database, and handles faults in the cluster system.

1.3 Hardware Configuration Table 1-1 lists the hardware configuration of the Sun Fire V880 M2000 two-node cluster hot backup system.

Operating system: Solaris 8 (02/04 SPARC Platform Edition) Volume management software: VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 Cluster software: Sun Cluster 3.0 Database software: Sybase Adapter Server Enterprise 11.9.2 NMS software: iManager M2000 Patch package of the system: Patch 3.1 Installation and monitoring script packages: M2000-scripts-xx.tar.gz

Note:

The xx in the name of script package file indicates the version of the script package. Select corresponding script package according to the M2000 system. The latest script package version is M2000-scripts-10.tar.gz.

3.3 Checks Before Installation Because other installations are completed before the delivery of the system, you only need to install the M2000 applications on the master node on site.

However, you need to check the following to ensure the correctness of the installation.

3.3.1 Checking the Solaris 8

Check the following items to see if the Solaris 8 operating system is correctly installed on both nodes.

I. Checking Whether the Operating System is Installed

After the server is started, if the login dialog box appears, it indicates that the operating system is installed.

If the operating system is not installed, see Chapter 4 "Installing the Sun Solaris 8" and install it before proceeding with the following checks.

II. Checking the Version of the Operating System

Execute the following command to check the version of the operating system:

$uname -a

SunOS SUN2000 5.8 Generic_108528-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Fire V880

The third field in the above returned result indicates that the version of the operating system is Sun OS 5.8. The M2000 Server runs on this version. Install Sun OS 5.8 if the OS version is not Sun OS 5.8.


3-3

If the patch number is earlier than 19, obtain the Solaris Patch3.0 under the directory "software\Mobile Communication\01-OMC and M2000\Patch\Solaris2.8 Patch3.0(M2000)\SUN\PATCH\8" at http://support.huawei.com and then install it.

III. Checking the Time Zone of the Operating System

Execute the following command to check the time zone:

$echo $TZ

Compare the result with the time zone applicable to your country. If they are different, change the TZ in /etc/TIMEZONE to the correct value.

To change the integral TZ,

1) Set the TZ in /etc/TIMEZONE file to the correct time zone.

# vi /etc/TIMEZONE

2) Reboot the server.

#sync;sync;sync;reboot

For a non-integral time zone, follow the method below to modify it. The following takes Calcutta as an example. For other cities, change the state name and area name accordingly.

To change the non-integral TZ,

1) Check whether the following file exists.

#ls -l /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta

2) If the file does not exist, execute the following commands as supper user:

# cd /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo

# zic src/asia

Then repeat step 1 to check whether the file /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta exists.

3) If the file /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta exists, change TZ to Asia/Calcutta in the file /etc/TIMEZONE manually.

# vi /etc/TIMEZONE

Table 3-2 lists some non-integral time zones.

Table 3-2 Lists of non-integral time zones

Time zone (Windows) City Path

GMT-03:30 Newfoundland /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/Canada/Newfoundland

GMT+03:30 Tehran /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/Asia/Tehran

GMT+04:30 Kabul /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/Asia/Kabul

GMT+05:30 Calcutta /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta

GMT+09:30 Adelaide /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/Australia/Adelaide

GMT+09:30 Darwin /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/Australia/Darwin

Note:

The TZ in the Solaris 8 system differs from that in the Windows system. Therefore, observe the following rules to set the TZ in the Solaris system:

If the local TZ is GMT+3 in the Windows, set the TZ to GMT-3 in the Solaris. Similarly, if the TZ is GMT-5 in the Windows, set the TZ to GMT+5 in the Solaris.

Violation of the above rules may cause exception of the clock synchronization system and result in inaccurate system clock.

IV. Checking the Current Time of the System

Execute the following command to check the current time of the system:

$ date

If the output result is inconsistent with the local time, correct it.

For example, to change the time to 14:53:43 on March 28, 2003, execute the following command:

# date 0328145303.43

Fri Mar 28 14:53:43 GMT 2003

V. Checking IP Address

Execute the following command to check the IP address of the server:

#ifconfig –a

If the IP address does not meet the requirement of the LAN, change it. You need not reinstall the operating system.

VI. Checking Partitions

Execute the following command to check if partitions meet the requirement of Sybase installation:

# format

Specify disk(enter its number):0 (or other disk numbers)

p //partition: Define the partition table.


3-5

p //print: List the current partition table.

Check whether partitions are the same as those in Table 3-4. If there are different, install the operating system again.

3.3.2 Checking the Sun Cluster

Check the Cluster status and the configuration of the NAFO group to see if the Sun Cluster is correctly installed.

For detailed, see section 5.8 "Checking Installation Result".

3.3.3 Checking the Volume Manager

Check the following items to see if the Volume Manager is correctly installed:

Whether the system can be started normally. Whether the statuses of all volumes are "ACTIVE". Whether the root disk is encapsulated.

For detailed, see section 6.3 "Checking Volume Manager Installation".

3.3.4 Checking the Configuration of Cluster

Check the following items to see if the Cluster is correctly configured:

Mirroring of the root disk Mirroring of the M2000 volume Mount status of the volume fsdata Switchover of the m2000_rg resource group

For details, see section 7.3 "Checking Installation Result".

3.3.5 Checking the Sybase Database

Check the following items to see if the Sybase database is correctly installed.

I. Checking Whether the Sybase Database is Installed

Proceed as follows to check whether the Sybase database is installed.

If the Sybase database is not installed, install the Sybase database according to the instructions in Chapter 8 "Installing Sybase Database".

1) Switch to the Sybase user.

#su - sybase

If the system responds very slowly and displays "su: Unknown id: sybase", it indicates that the Sybase user does not exist. In this case, install the Sybase database.

2) Check the processes.


3-6

$ps -ef|grep sybase

sybase .. /export/home/sybase/bin/dataserver -ssybserver ..

sybase .. /export/home/sybase/bin/backupserver -Ssybserver_back ..

If the result contains the processes "dataserver" and "backupserver", it indicates that Sybase database is installed.

Otherwise, reboot the system by executing the following commands:

$cd /export/home/sybase/install

$startserver -f RUN_sybserver -f RUN_sybserver_back

Check the processes again. If you cannot access the directory or the above two processes do not exist, reinstall the Sybase database.

3) Log in to isql as sa.

$isql -Usa -Pserver1234

1>

If you can log in to the system, it indicates that the Sybase database is installed.

II. Checking the Version of the Sybase Database

Execute the following commands to check the version of the Sybase database:

1> select @@version

2> go

Adaptive Server Enterprise/11.9.2/1031/P/Sun_svr4/OS 5.5.1/FBO/Fri Aug 14

06:26:45 1998 (1 row affected)

1>

"11.9.2" in the above result indicates the version of the Sybase. If the version of Sybase database is earlier than this, remove this Sybase and install the Sybase of version 11.9.2.

III. Checking the Equipment Information of the Database

Execute the following commands to check the equipment information of the Sybase database:

1> sp_helpdevice

2> go

3.4 Planning System Resources This section introduces the system planning.

3.4.1 Planning Installation Resources

Note:

In the following planning, two Sun Fire V880 servers are named host A and host B.

Proceed as follows to plan resources for the installation:

I. Naming Servers

Name the host A m2000svr-1 and the host B m2000svr-2.

II. IP Address Planning

The iManager M2000 hot backup system is commissioned before delivery, and IP addresses of the two servers are specified at that time. The IP addresses described in this manual are those specified before the delivery. You can modify them as needed upon the installation of the system by referring to “Appendix A Modifying IP Addresses".

Figure 1-1 shows the logical connections of the iManager M2000 hot backup system.

The two V880 servers have two IP addresses. When two servers run normally, they use one logical IP address for external communications. Therefore, the hot backup system also needs one logical IP address.

The TC is responsible for communicating with the two servers through serial ports. The TC needs an IP address so that other terminals can access the TC and communicate with the servers through the TC.

Therefore, the M2000 hot backup system must have at least four IP addresses.

Table 3-3 describes the assignment of the IP addresses.

Partition name Purpose Remarks

c1t0d0s3 /opt It is used to install the system software and third party software, including Sun Cluster, VERITAS Volume Manager, Sybase database, and drivers.

The /opt partition is used to separate the software from the operating system to improve the security.

c1t0d0s4 /globedevices It is a special partition assigned during the installation of the Sun Cluster 3.x. (Assign this partition in advance.)

c1t0d0s5 c1t0d0s6 c1t0d0s7

These three partitions are spare ones. Two of them are reserved for the mirroring of the system disk.

Reserve the rest space (about 1,100 MB) as the overhead for the system disk mirroring.

The second built-in hard disk in the m2000svr-1 acts as the mirror of the first one and needs no partitioning.

Note:

The names of the two built-in hard disks (73 GB) vary with actual situations. Here, c1t0do and c1t1d0 are assumed disk names.

IV. Disk Array Planning

In the iManager M2000 hot backup system, two Sun StorEdge3310 disk arrays are used to realize the RAID5+1 redundancy strategy. That is, disk arrays in a Sun StorEdge3310 are configured into RAID5 and those in two Sun StorEdge3310s are mirrored into RAID1.

Note:

In a 3310 disk array, there are eight 36-GB hard disks. One of them serves as a global hot backup disk. The other seven hard disks can work in the 6+1 protection mode with RAID5 configuration. That is, among the seven hard disks, only six hard disks are available at the same time, and the rest one serves as a redundant one for parity check. When one disk is damaged, data can be automatically recovered. RAID1 is configured for the two 3310 disk arrays. That is, the mirroring protection is implemented between two 3310 disk arrays. The host data can be read or written into the two disk arrays at the same time to ensure the system safety. In a word, the two 3310 disk arrays in the iManager M2000 hot backup system can provide a 36 x 6 space (about 201GB) to the system.

The space allocation of the Sun StorEdge3310 refers to the allocation of the 201 GB space.

Note:

The VERITAS Volume Manager manages disk arrays. It is only required to partition one of the two Sun StorEdge3310s. The other Sun StorEdge3310 acts as the mirror of the first one through the Volume Manager.

The Sun StorEdge3310 is managed by its built-in operating system. Perform the following operations on both disk arrays through the built-in system to access the two partitions from the V880 server.

1) Divide the eight hard disks in the RAID 5+1 hot backup mode to create a logical disk (about 201 GB).

2) Partition the logical disk into two partitions: one with 200 MB and the other with about 201 GB.

3) Map these two partitions to the Host LUNs. 4) Reboot the Sun StorEdge3310s.

For details of the Sun StorEdge3310 disk arrays, see section 3.5.2 "Configuring the Sun StorEdge3310s".

3.4.2 Planning Sun Cluster Environment

This section introduces the planning of the Sun cluster environment.

I. IP Planning

Set IP addresses for Sun cluster components according to the cluster configuration. In the cluster configuration, each node must connect to the public network. In addition, it is required to add these IP addresses to the file /etc/hosts.

Table 3-7 lists the planned IP addresses necessary for the installation.

Table 3-7 IP planning

Item IP planning IP address and subnet mask

Administrative console One IP for each subnet 192.168.8.236; 255.255.255.0

Logical address One IP for each logical node 192.168.8.10; 255.255.255.0

II. Components Planning

The cluster consists of a series of cluster components.

Cluster disk device group Cluster Quorum device

3.4.3 Planning Global Devices and the Cluster File System

Note the following points when planning global devices and the cluster file system:

I. High-availability Global Devices and the Cluster File System

Observe the following principles to configure high-availability global devices and the cluster file system:

Mirroring: Configure RAID1 or RAID5 for all global devices. Disks: Arrange disks properly so that mirroring is possible across disk extension

units. Availability: Global devices must have physical connections to multiple nodes in

the cluster. These configurations can tolerate the failure of a single node and support global devices with only one physical connection. If a global device connects to only one node and this node is disabled, you cannot access this global device through other nodes.

II. Mount Point of the Cluster File System

Observe the following principles to create mount points of the cluster file system:

Create the mount point under the /global directory unless forbidden by some software.

You can distinguish the cluster file system with the help of the /global directory. These file systems are globally available.

Avoid nesting the mount points of the cluster file system.

For example, do not set two file systems in the following way: one in the directory /global/a and the other in the directory /global/a/b. Otherwise, it may cause problems of availability and node boot sequence because the parent mount point may not exist.

The only exception to this principle is when the devices of two file systems connect to the same physical node (for example, different slices of the same disk).

3.4.4 Planning Volume Management

The cluster adopts the volume management software to divide disks into some disk device groups and to manage these device groups as a unit. Currently, the iManager M2000 hot backup system employs the VERITAS Volume Manager for volume management.

I. Volume Management Planning

The volume management planning covers the following contents:


3-13

Mirroring of multiple host disks

Configure the two Sun StorEdge3310s as RAID1

Root disk mirroring

Configure RAID1 for the two local disks.

Chapter 5 Installing the Sun Cluster

This chapter introduces how to install the Sun Cluster.

Note:

The Sun Cluster management software is a product of Sun Microsystems, Inc. For detailed instructions, see the related technical documents about the Sun cluster. Sun Microsystems, Inc. reserves all rights of the company name, trademarks, and manual names involved in this chapter.

5.1 Checks Before Installation

Note:

Unless otherwise specified, perform the following operations described on both the master and slave nodes.

Before installing the Sun Cluster, check whether:

The Solaris system is installed on the master and slave nodes. The patch of the Solaris operating system is installed on the master and slave

nodes. The Sun StorEdge3310 disk arrays can be searched in the Solaris operating

system. The files /etc/hosts and /etc/system are modified.

5.2 Installing the Sun Cluster on Master Node To install the Sun cluster on the master node, proceed as follows:

I. Installing and Configuring Sun Cluster

1) Insert the CD of the Sun cluster into the CD-ROM. 2) Execute the following commands to install and configure Sun cluster:

#cd /cdrom/cdrom0/SunCluster_3.0/Sol_8/Tools

#./scinstall

*** Main Menu ***

Please select from one of the following (*) options:

* 1) Establish a new cluster using this machine as the first node

* 2) Add this machine as a node in an established cluster

3) Configure a cluster to be JumpStarted from this install server

4) Add support for new data services to this cluster node

5) Print release information for this cluster node

* ?) Help with menu options

* q) Quit

Option:1

*** Establishing a New Cluster ***

This option is used to establish a new cluster using this machine as

the first node in that cluster.

Once the cluster framework software is installed, you will be asked

for the name of the cluster. Then, sccheck(1M) is run to test this

machine for basic Sun Cluster pre-configuration requirements.

After sccheck(1M) passes, you will be asked for the names of the

other nodes which will initially be joining that cluster. In

addition, you will be asked to provide certain cluster transport

configuration information.

Press Ctrl-d at any time to return to the Main Menu.

Do you want to continue (yes/no) [yes]?yes

>>> Software Package Installation <<<

Installation of the Sun Cluster framework software packages will take

a few minutes to complete.

Is it okay to continue (yes/no) [yes]?yes

Hit ENTER to continue: //Press <Enter> to continue.

>>> Cluster Name <<<

Each cluster has a name assigned to it. The name can be made up of

any characters other than whitespace. It may be up to 256 characters

in length. And, you may want to assign a cluster name which will be

the same as one of the failover logical host names in the cluster.

Create each cluster name to be unique within the namespace of your

enterprise.

What is the name of the cluster you want to establish? M2000Cluster

>>> Check <<<

This step runs sccheck(1M) to verify that certain basic hardware and

software pre-configuration requirements have been met. If sccheck(1M)

detects potential problems with configuring this machine as a cluster

node, a list of warnings is printed.


5-4

Hit ENTER to continue: //Press <Enter> to continue

Running sccheck ... done

All sccheck tests passed.


>>> Cluster Nodes <<<

This release of Sun Cluster supports a total of up to 16 nodes.

Please list the names of the other nodes planned for the initial

cluster configuration. List one node name per line. When finished,

type Control-D:

Node name: m2000svr-2

Note:

The node name above is that of the slave node.

Node name (Ctrl-D to finish):<Ctrl+D>

This is the complete list of nodes:

m2000svr-1

m2000svr-2

Is it correct (yes/no) [yes]?yes

>>> Authenticating Requests to Add Nodes <<<

Once the first node establishes itself as a single node cluster,

other nodes attempting to add themselves to the cluster configuration

must be found on the list of nodes you just provided. The list can be

modified once the cluster has been established using scconf(1M) or

other tools.

By default, nodes are not securely authenticated as they attempt to

add themselves to the cluster configuration. This is generally

considered adequate, since nodes which are not physically connected

to the private cluster interconnect will never be able to actually


5-5

join the cluster. However, DES authentication is available. If DES

authentication is selected, you must configure all necessary

encryption keys before any node will be allowed to join the cluster

(see keyserv(1M), publickey(4)).

Do you need to use DES authentication (yes/no) [no]?no

>>> Network Address for the Cluster Transport <<<

The private cluster transport uses a default network address of

172.16.0.0. But, if this network address is already in use elsewhere

within your enterprise, you may need to select another address from

the range of recommended private addresses (see RFC 1597 for

details).

If you do select another network address, please bear in mind that

the Sun Clustering software requires that the rightmost two octets

always be zero.

The default netmask is 255.255.0.0; you may select another netmask,

as long as it minimally masks all bits given in the network address

and does not contain any "holes".

Is it okay to accept the default network address (yes/no) [yes]?yes

Caution:

The private network IP address for the Cluster is 172.16.0.0 in this step. If the IP address is in use, select "no" in this step and configure the IP address as prompted. The last two bytes in the IP address must be "0".

Is it okay to accept the default netmask (yes/no) [yes]?yes

>>> Point-to-Point Cables <<<

The two nodes of a two-node cluster may use a directly-connected

interconnect. That is, no cluster transport junctions are configured.

However, when there are greater than two nodes, this interactive form

of scinstall assumes that there will be exactly two cluster transport

junctions.


5-6

Does this two-node cluster use transport junctions (yes/no) [yes]?yes

>>> Cluster Transport Junctions <<<

All cluster transport adapters in this cluster must be cabled to a

transport junction, or "switch". And, each adapter on a given node

must be cabled to a different junction. Interactive scinstall

requires that you identify two switches for use in the cluster and

the two transport adapters on each node to which they are cabled.

What is the name of the first junction in the cluster [switch1]?

Hit ENTER to continue. //Press <Enter> to continue

What is the name of the second junction in the cluster [switch2]?


>>> Cluster Transport Adapters and Cables <<<

You must configure at least two transport adapters on each node which

serve as connection points to the private cluster transport. More

than two connection points are allowed, but this interactive form of

scinstall assumes exactly two.

Note that interactive scinstall does not allow you to specify any

special transport adapter properties settings. If your adapters have

special properties which must be set, you may need to use

non-interactive scinstall by specifying a complete set of command

line options. For more information, please refer to the man pages for your

adapters in the scconf_transp_adap family of man pages (e.g.,

scconf_transp_adap_hme(1M)).


Select the first cluster transport adapter to use:

1) ce3

2) ce2

3) ce11

4) ce0

5) Other

Option: 3


5-7

Note:

The network adapter may vary with the configurations of the computer. Select the correct network adapter according to the actual situation.

Adapter "ce1" is an ethernet adapter.

Searching for any unexpected network traffic on "ce1" ... done

Verification completed. No traffic was detected over a 10 second

sample period.

All transport adapters support the "dlpi" transport type. Ethernet

adapters are supported only with the "dlpi" transport; however, other

adapter types may support other types of transport. For more

information on which transports are supported with which adapters,

please refer to the scconf_transp_adap family of man pages

(scconf_transp_adap_hme(1M), ...).

The "dlpi" transport type will be set for this cluster.

Name of the junction to which "ce1" is connected [switch1]?


Each adapter is cabled to a particular port on a transport junction.

And, each port is assigned a name. You may explicitly assign a name

to each port. Or, for ethernet switches, you may allow scinstall to

assign a default name for you. The default port name assignment sets

the name to the node number of the node hosting the transport adapter

at the other end of the cable.

For more information regarding port naming requirements, refer to the

scconf_transp_jct family of man pages (e.g.,

scconf_transp_jct_dolphinswitch(1M)).

Use the default port name for the "ce1" connection (yes/no) [yes]?yes

Select the second cluster transport adapter to use:

1) ce3

2) ce2

3) Other


5-8

Option:1

Note:

The network adapter may vary with the configurations of the computer. Select the correct network adapter according to the actual situation.

Adapter "ce3" is an ethernet adapter.

Searching for any unexpected network traffic on "ce3" ... done

Verification completed. No traffic was detected over a 10 second

sample period.

Name of the junction to which "ce3" is connected [switch2]?

Press <Enter> to continue

Use the default port name for the "ce3" connection (yes/no) [yes]?yes

>>> Global Devices File System <<<

Each node in the cluster must have a local file system mounted on

/global/.devices/node@<nodeID> before it can successfully participate

as a cluster member. Since the "nodeID" is not assigned until

scinstall is run, scinstall will set this up for you. However, in

order to do this, you must supply the name of either an

already-mounted file system or raw disk partition at this time. This

file system or partition should be at least 512 MB in size.

If an already-mounted file system is used, the file system must be

empty. If a raw disk partition is used, a new file system will be

created for you.

The default is to use /globaldevices.

Is it okay to use this default (yes/no) [yes]?yes

>>> Automatic Reboot <<<

Once scinstall has successfully installed and initialized the Sun

Cluster software for this machine, it will be necessary to reboot.

After the reboot, this machine will be established as the first node


5-9

in the new cluster.

Do you want scinstall to reboot for you (yes/no) [yes]?no

You will need to manually reboot this node in "cluster mode" after

scinstall successfully completes.


>>> Confirmation <<<

Your responses indicate the following options to scinstall:

scinstall -ik \

This option is used to add this machine as a node in an already

established cluster. If this is an initial cluster install, there may

only be a single node which has established itself in the new

cluster.

Once the cluster framework software is installed, you will be asked

to provide both the name of the cluster and the name of one of the

nodes already in the cluster. Then, sccheck(1M) is run to test this

machine for basic Sun Cluster pre-configuration requirements.

After sccheck(1M) passes, you may be asked to provide certain cluster

transport configuration information.

>>> Sponsoring Node <<<

For any machine to join a cluster, it must identify a node in that

cluster willing to "sponsor" its membership in the cluster. When

configuring a new cluster, this "sponsor" node is typically the first

node used to build the new cluster. However, if the cluster is

already established, the "sponsoring" node can be any node in that

cluster.

Already established clusters can keep a list of hosts which are able

to configure themselves as new cluster members. This machine should

be in the join list of any cluster which it tries to join. If the

list does not include this machine, you may need to add it using

scconf(1M) or other tools.

And, if the target cluster uses DES to authenticate new machines

attempting to configure themselves as new cluster members, the

necessary encryption keys must be configured before any attempt to

join.

What is the name of the sponsoring node? m2000svr-1

Note:

The node name above is that of the master node.

>>> Cluster Name <<<

Each cluster has a name assigned to it. When adding a node to the

cluster, you must identify the name of the cluster you are attempting

to join. A sanity check is performed to verify that the "sponsoring"


5-14

node is a member of that cluster.

What is the name of the cluster you want to join? M2000Cluster

Attempting to contact "m2000svr-1" ... done

Cluster name "M2000Cluster" is correct.


>>> Check <<<

This step runs sccheck(1M) to verify that certain basic hardware and

software pre-configuration requirements have been met. If sccheck(1M)

detects potential problems with configuring this machine as a cluster

node, a list of warnings is printed.

as a cluster member. Since the "nodeID" is not assigned until

scinstall is run, scinstall will set this up for you. However, in

order to do this, you must supply the name of either an

already-mounted file system or raw disk partition at this time. This

file system or partition should be at least 512 MB in size.

If an already-mounted file system is used, the file system must be

empty. If a raw disk partition is used, a new file system will be

created for you.

The default is to use /globaldevices.

Is it okay to use this default (yes/no) [yes]?yes

>>> Automatic Reboot <<<

Once scinstall has successfully installed and initialized the Sun

Cluster software for this machine, it will be necessary to reboot.

The reboot will cause this machine to join the cluster for the first

time.

5.5 Configuring the File /etc/inet/ntp.conf.cluster

Note:

Configure the file /etc/inet/ntp.conf.cluster on both the master and slave nodes.

To configure the file /etc/inet/ntp.conf.cluster,

1) Edit the file /etc/inet/ntp.conf.cluster. 2) Add "#" in front of the line "peer clusternode?-priv" (where "?" stands for 3, 4, 5 …

16) to invalidate it.

5.6 Configuring NAFO Group This section introduces how to configure the network adapter fail over (NAFO) group on the master and slave nodes.

5.6.1 Introduction to NAFO

The hot backup system consists of the following hardware components:

Cluster nodes with local disks (unshared) Multi-host storage (disks shared between nodes) Removable media (tapes and CD-ROM) Cluster interconnect Public network interfaces Client systems Administrative console Console access devices

The SunPlex system enables you to combine these components into a variety of configurations. Figure 5-1 shows a sample of cluster configurations.


5-20

NAFO: Network Adapter Fail Over

Figure 5-1 A sample of two-node cluster configuration

A NAFO group consists of the two network interfaces connected with the public network, as shown in Figure 5-1. These two network interfaces work in the active/standby mode.

5.6.2 Creating an NAFO Group

To create an NAFO group, execute the following command as root:

# pnmset

In the following, you will be prompted to do

configuration for network adapter failover

Do you want to continue ... [y/n]: y

How many NAFO groups to configure [1]:

Enter NAFO group number [0]:

Enter space-separted list of adapters in nafo0: ce0 ce2

//Specify ce0 and ce3 as network interfaces. These two interfaces work in the active/standby mode.

Checking configuration of nafo0:

Testing active adapter ce0...

Testing adapter ce2...


5-21

NAFO configuration completed

5.6.3 Checking Configuration of NAFO Group

To check whether the NAFO group is created successfully, execute the following command as root:

# pnmstat -l

group adapters status fo_time act_adp

nafo0 ce0:ce2 OK NEVER eri0

If the output status is "OK", it indicates that the NAFO group is created.

5.7 Configuring Quorum Devices

Note:

Perform the operations described in this section on the master node.

To configure Quorum devices on the master mode, proceed as follows:

1) Execute the following command to view disk devices in the cluster.

#scdidadm -L

1 m2000svr-1:/dev/rdsk/c0t6d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d1















5-22

Note:

Only disks shared by the master and slave nodes can serve as a Quorum device. From the output on the screen, you can see that the master and slave nodes share the four disks /dev/did/rdsk/d4, /dev/did/rdsk/d5, /dev/did/rdsk/d6, and /dev/did/rdsk/d7. You can select any one from these four disks as a Quorum device. In the example, /dev/did/rdsk/d7 is selected as a Quorum device.

2) Execute the following command to configure Quorum devices:

#scsetup

>>> Initial Cluster Setup <<<

This program has detected that the cluster "installmode" attribute is

still enabled. As such, certain initial cluster setup steps will be

performed at this time. This includes adding any necessary quorum

devices, then resetting both the quorum vote counts and the

"installmode" property.

Please do not proceed if any additional nodes have yet to join the

cluster.


Do you want to add any quorum disks (yes/no) [yes]?yes

Dual-ported SCSI-2 disks may be used as quorum devices in two-node

clusters. However, clusters with more than two nodes require that

SCSI-3 PGR disks be used for all disks with more than two

node-to-disk paths. You can use a disk containing user data or one

that is a member of a device group as a quorum device.

Each quorum disk must be connected to at least two nodes. Please

refer to the Sun Cluster documentation for more information on

supported quorum device topologies.

Which global device do you want to use (d<N>)?d7


5-23

Note:

The "d7" here represents the shared disk /dev/did/rdsk/d7, which is selected as a Quorum device in the above operation.

Is it okay to proceed with the update (yes/no) [yes]?yes

scconf -a -q globaldev=d4

Command completed successfully.


Do you want to add another quorum disk (yes/no)?no

Once the "installmode" property has been reset, this program will

skip "Initial Cluster Setup" each time it is run again in the future.

However, quorum devices can always be added to the cluster using the

regular menu options. Resetting this property fully activates quorum

settings and is necessary for the normal and safe operation of the

cluster.

Is it okay to reset "installmode" (yes/no) [yes]?yes

scconf -c -q reset

scconf -a -T node=.

Cluster initialization is complete.

Type ENTER to proceed to the main menu: //Press <Enter> to continue

*** Main Menu ***

Please select from one of the following options:

1) Quorum

2) Resource groups

3) Cluster interconnect

II. Checking the Configuration of NAFO Group

To check whether the configuration of NAPO group on the master node is correct,

1) Check IP addresses of the active and standby network adapters.

# ifconfig -a

… …

ce1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2

inet 192.168.8.11 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.8.255

ether 0:3:ba:28:5c:ab

… …

The above result indicates the IP address of m2000svr-1 is bound to the active network adapter ce1.

2) Remove the network cable from the active network adapter, and check the IP addresses of the active and standby network adapters about ten seconds later.

# ifconfig -a

… …

ce3: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 6


5-26

inet 192.168.8.11 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.8.255

ether 0:3:ba:17:45:56

… …

At this time, the IP address of m2000svr-1 is bound to the standby network adapter ce3. It indicates the IP address is successfully switched to that of the standby network adapter.

3) Connect the network cable to the active network adapter again and remove the one from the standby network adapter.

4) Check the IP addresses of the active and standby network adapters by executing the command ifconfig –a about ten seconds later.

If the execution result is the same as that in step 1, it indicates that the IP address is switched to that of the active network adapter.

Note:

You can use the same method to check the configuration of the NAFO on the slave node.

Chapter 7 Configuring the Cluster

This chapter describes how to configure the cluster.

7.1 Mirroring the Root Disk

Note:

Unless otherwise specified, perform the operations described in this section on the master and slave nodes.

Proceed as follows to mirror the root disk.

1) Execute the following command to view the disk information:

#vxdisk list

DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS

c1t0d0s2 sliced rootdisk_1 rootdg online

c1t1d0s2 sliced - - error





Select the disk according to actual situations.

Select the second local disk, c1t1d0s2 in the example, as the mirrored disk of the root disk.

2) Execute the following command to initialize the mirrored disk:

#vxdiskunsetup -C c1t1d0

#vxdisksetup -i c1t1d0

#vxdisk list



c1t1d0s2 sliced - - online





The status of c1t1d0s2 is online now.


7-2

3) Add the mirrored disk to rootdg.


On the master node

#vxdg -g rootdg adddisk mirrdisk_1=c1t1d0

On the slave node

#vxdg -g rootdg adddisk mirrdisk_2=c1t1d0

4) Mirror the Root Disk.


On the master node

#vxmirror rootdisk_1 mirrdisk_1

On the slave node

#vxmirror rootdisk_2 mirrdisk_2

After the above operations, the operational terminal of the master node displays the following prompts:

! vxassist -g rootdg mirror rootvol mirrdisk_1

! vxassist -g rootdg mirror swapvol mirrdisk_1

! vxassist -g rootdg mirror node@1 mirrdisk_1

! vxassist -g rootdg mirror opt mirrdisk_1

! vxbootsetup

If the vxbootsetup appears, it indicates the mirroring of the root disk is complete.

The mirroring process lasts 30 to 40 minutes. The way to check whether the mirroring of the root disk on the slave node completes is the same as that on the master node. .

7.2 Creating m2000_rg

Note:

Unless otherwise specified, perform the operations described in this section only on the master node.

Proceed as follows to create m2000_rg.

I. Viewing the Disk Information


#vxdisk list

Among the above disks, the capacity of c3t1d1 and c4t1d1 is 100.80 GB. Select these two disks as m2000dg disk group.

Note:

The disk name may vary with the device. Select the disk according to actual situations.

II. Creating the m2000dg Disk Group and Volume

To create the m2000dg disk group and volume, proceed as follows:

1) Execute the following commands to create the disk group and volumes:

# cd /opt/m2kv1/volume/n20/cluster

# ./mkvol.sh c3t1d1 c4t1d1

2) Execute the following command to check whether the disk group is created:

# vxdisk –g m2000dg list

If the system displays the above execution result, it indicates that volumes (data, log, master, sysproc, and fsdata) are successfully created. Otherwise, find out the reason and recreate the M2000 disk group and volumes.

4) Execute the following command to mirror the volumes:

# ./mirvol.sh

5) Perform the mirroring operation (The operation may last 1.5 to 2 hours) inside the system.

6) View the mirroring progress using the following command:

# vxtask list

168 ATCOPY/R 01.14% 0/37748736/431520 PLXATT data data-02

"%" represents the current mirroring progress of the volumes. If there is no mirroring progress information, it indicates that the mirroring operation is completed.

Caution:

The script mkvol.sh is used to create the disk group m2000dg and the necessary volumes with two disks as parameters. It is used to mirror volumes. The second disk (disk array) in the parameters is a mirrored disk. The paths of these two scripts are:

Path of the Netra20 script: /opt/m2kv1/volume/n20/cluster Path of the V880 script: /opt/m2kv1/volume/v880/cluster

>>> Create a Resource Group <<<

This option is used to create a new resource group. It also supports

the creation of new resources for the new group.

A resource group is a container into which you can place resources of

various types, such as network and data service resources. The

cluster uses resource groups to manage its resource types. There are

but two types of resource groups, failover and scalable.

Only failover resource groups may contain network resources. A

network resource, in turn, is either a LogicalHostname or

SharedAddress resource.

It is important to remember that each scalable resource group depends

upon a failover resource group which contains one or more network

resources of the SharedAddress resource type.

Is it okay to continue (yes/no) [yes]? YES

Select the type of resource group you want to add:

1) Failover Group

2) Scalable Group

Option: 1

What is the name of the group you want to add? m2000_rg

Do you want to add an optional description (yes/no) [no]?

Since this cluster has two nodes, the new resource group will be

configured to be hosted by both cluster nodes.

Which is the preferred node for hosting this group? m2000svr-1

Some types of resources (e.g., HA for NFS) require the use of an area

in a global file system for storing configuration data. If any of the

resources that will later be added to this group will require such

support, you can specify the full directory path name now.

Do you want to specify such a directory now (yes/no) [no]? no


scrgadm -a -g m2000_rg -h m2000svr-1,m2000svr-2


Hit ENTER to continue:

Do you want to add any network resources now (yes/no) [yes]? yes

Select the type of network resource you want to add:

1) LogicalHostname

2) SharedAddress

Option: 1

If a failover resource group contains SharedAddress resources, the

most common configuration is to have one SharedAddress resource for

each subnet. Therefore, scsetup(1M) assumes that there will be one

such resource for each subnet.

For how many subnets do you want to add such a resource [1]? 1

Is it okay to configure the first logicalhostname resource (yes/no) [yes]? yes


7-11

Each network resource manages a list of one or more logical hostnames

for a single subnet. This is true whether the resource is a

LogicalHostname or SharedAddress resource type. The most common

configuration is to assign a single logical hostname to each network

resource for each subnet. Therefore, scsetup(1M) only supports this

configuration. If you need to support more than one hostname for a

given subnet, the additional support can be added using scrgadm(1M).

Before scsetup(1M) can create a network resource for any logical

hostname, that hostname must first be specified in the hosts(4) data

for each node in the cluster. In addition, NAFO-configured network

adapters must be actively available on each of the nodes.

What logical hostname do you want to add? m2000svr


scrgadm -a -L -g m2000_rg -l m2000svr

Installation Manual iManager M2000 Two-node Cluster Hot Backup system Chapter 8 Installing Sybase Database

8-1

Chapter 8 Installing Sybase Database

This chapter introduces how to install the Sybase database.

8.1 Checks Before Installation Before installing the Sybase database, check as follows:

1) Check if the Sybase database has already been installed. 2) Check the version of the Sybase database. 3) Check the device information of the database.

For details, see section 3.3.5 "Checking the Sybase Database".

8.2 Preparations Before Installation Perform the following operations on both the master and slave nodes.

8.2.1 Modifying the File .rhosts

Add the following line to the file /.rhosts of the master node:

m2000svr-2 root

Add the following line to the file /.rhosts of the slave node:

m2000svr-1 root

Note:

Use the command rcp when you copy data between the two nodes to synchronize the software. You need to modify the file /.rhosts of the master and slave nodes. In this way, the command rcp can take effect.

8.2.2 Creating the User Sybase

You can use either of the following method to create the user sybase:

Log in to the system as root and run the admintool.

Options for the new user: sybase (user id: 101; shell: ksh; user directory: /opt/sybase; group: staff)


# useradd -d /opt/sybase -u 101 -g staff -m -k /etc/skel -s /bin/ksh Sybase


8-2

Note:

To ensure the IDs of the user Sybase on the master and slave nodes are the same, set them to "101" by default. If "101" is assigned to other users, you can select a different ID. The IDs of the user sybase on the two servers must be the same.

8.2.3 Setting the Properties of Raw Devices

Caution:

Perform the following operation only on the master node. Before setting the property of raw devices of Sybase database, make sure the m2000_rg resource group on the master node is active. (You can check it using the command scstat | grep m2000_rg.) Otherwise, switch m2000_rg resource group to the master node using the command scswitch -S -h m2000svr-1, and then execute the following commands.

Execute the following commands to set properties of raw devices:

# vxedit -g m2000dg -v set user=sybase group=staff mode=664 master

# vxedit -g m2000dg -v set user=sybase group=staff mode=664 sysproc

# vxedit -g m2000dg -v set user=sybase group=staff mode=664 data

# vxedit -g m2000dg -v set user=sybase group=staff mode=664 log

8.2.4 Switching to the User Sybase and Editing the File .profile

Caution:

Invalidate the contents between the "if" statement and "fi" statement in the file .profile. Otherwise, the server will exit the Sybase database automatically after startup. In the following statement, ${HOME} stands for /opt/Sybase.

Execute the following commands to switch to the user sybase and edit the file /opt/sybase/.profile:

# su - sybase

$ vi .profile

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/etc:${HOME}/bin:${HOME}/install:.

export PATH


8-3

LANG=C

SYBASE=${HOME}

DSQUERY=sybserver

DSLISTEN=sybserver

DISPLAY=m2000-console:0.0

Appendix A Modifying IP Addresses

This appendix introduces the methods to plan and modify IP addresses and precautions during modification.

A.1 Introduction The iManager M2000 hot backup system is commissioned before delivery. The IP addresses of the hot backup servers used in the following description are allocated during the pre-installation.

If you need to modify the IP addresses according to the situations on site, execute the command ifconfig -a to obtain the current IP addresses of the system. If the IP addresses do not meet the requirement of the LAN, modify them without reinstalling the operating system.

For details, see section A.2 “Modifying the IP Address of Solaris 8, Sybase and M2000”.

I. Planning the IP Addresses

Plan the IP addresses of the hot backup system according to the network configuration of the operator.

You need to modify the “IP address/subnet mask” column in Table A-1 according to the network planning of the operator. The example in the table gives the default configuration.

Table A-1 IP address planning (default)

Item IP address planning IP address/subnet mask

Administrative console One IP address for each subnet 192.168.8.236, 255.255.255.0

TC One IP address for each subnet 192.168.8.244, 255.255.255.0

Logical IP address The master and slave nodes share one logical IP address. 192.168.8.10; 255.255.255.0

Master node IP address Physical IP address of the master node 192.168.8.11; 255.255.255.0

Slave node IP address Physical IP address of the slave node 192.168.8.12; 255.255.255.0

II. Modifying the IP Addresses

Modify the IP addresses according to the IP address plan.

You need to modify the following files:


A-2

The file /etc/hosts of the master and slave nodes, where the corresponding host name cannot be modified.

The file /opt/sybase/interfaces of the master and slave nodes, where the IP address must be the logical IP address.

Related configuration files of the M2000. The IP address must be the logical IP address.

A.2 Modifying the IP Address of Solaris 8, Sybase and M2000 Perform the following operations only when it is necessary to modify the IP addresses of the server.

If the IP addresses changes, modify IP addresses of the server in the operating system, Sybase database and M2000 application first. Then you can install the server.

I. Modifying the IP Address of Solaris8 Operating System (for the Master and Slave Nodes)

To modify the IP address in the Solaris8 operating system,

1) Modify the IP address in the file /etc/hosts. 2) Modify the subnet mask in the file /etc/netmasks.

Note:

By modifying the static configuration file, the modified IP address and subnet mask can take effect after the computer reboots.

II. Modifying the IP Address in Sybase Database (for the Master and Slave Nodes)

To modify the IP address in the Sybase database,

1) Modify the file /opt/sybase/interfaces.

Modify the corresponding IP address in the file /opt/sybase/interfaces. Otherwise, the database system cannot connect to the M2000 system normally.

To be specific, the value of the IP address is stored in the hexadecimal format, at the line with the character string “/dev/tcp”. The eight characters starting with the ninth character on the right of “\x” is the IP address.

For example, to edit the interfaces file, execute the following command.

$vi interfaces

master tli tcp /dev/tcp \x000210040a811b760000000000000000

query tli tcp /dev/tcp \x000210040a811b760000000000000000


A-3

Where:

0a811b76 is “10.129.27.118”. If you want to change the IP address to “10.130.5.1”, just modify 0a811b76 to 0a820501.

2) Reboot the Sybase database.

After the modification of the interfaces file, reboot the Sybase database.

#/etc/rc2.d/S97sybsvr stop

#/etc/rc2.d/S97sybsvr start

III. Modifying the IP Address in M2000 System (for the Current Active Node)

To modify the IP address in the M2000 system,

1) Execute the following command:

#su – m2000

2) Modify the following in the file .profile. OMCSWITCHIP=10.129.27.118

#su – adaptermonitor

$cd etc

3) Modify the following in the file adaptermonitor.cfg. SwitchIP = 10.129.27.118

4) Modify the SwitchIP in the file adapter.cfg of all the NE Adapters to the correct IP address.

IV. Rebooting the System

Execute the following command to reboot the system:

# sync;sync; scshutdown -y -g0

The two nodes enter the ”ok” state. Enter “boot” on the master and slave nodes to start the hot backup system.

ok ? boot <Enter>

A.3 Modifying Two IP Addresses of the Same Server Sometimes, you may have two IP addresses for the same server. One connects to the public network, the other to the private network. In this case, change all the IP addresses in the file /opt/sybase/interfaces to 0’s.

A.4 Precautions Pay attention to the following two aspects.


A-4

After installing the M2000 server, do not delete the user “m2000” unless necessary. Otherwise, the server processes may be abnormal. For further information, contact the technical support engineers.

After installing the M2000 server, you need to add the workstation (M2000 server) on the BAM of the NEs that support the MML commands, and allocate the highest authority to the workstation. Otherwise, the M2000 centralized configuration console cannot obtain all the configuration data of the BAM.

To complete the above tasks on the BAM,

1) Add the workstation on the BAM.

Execute the command ADD WS to add the workstation.

Specify the name and IP address of the M2000 server in the list box.

2) Allocate the highest authority to the workstation on the BAM.

Execute the command SET WSCG: WS="***", CG=G_SYS as the system administrator.

//*** stands for the name of the M2000 server.
