Overview of Establishing a New Cluster or Cluster Node
The following task maps list the tasks to perform for either a new global cluster or a node
added to an existing global cluster. Complete the procedures in the order that is indicated.
Table 3-1 Task Map: Establish a New Global Cluster
|
|
|
Use one of the following methods to establish a new global cluster:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assign quorum votes and remove the cluster from installation mode, if this operation was not
already performed.
|
|
|
Validate the quorum configuration.
|
|
|
(Optional) Change a node's private hostname.
|
|
|
Create or modify the NTP configuration file, if not already configured.
|
|
|
If using a volume manager, install the volume management software.
|
|
|
Create cluster file systems or highly available local file systems as needed.
|
|
|
Install third-party applications, register resource types, set up resource groups, and
configure data services.
|
Documentation that is supplied with the application software
|
|
Validate the cluster.
|
|
|
Take a baseline recording of the finished cluster configuration.
|
|
|
Table 3-2 Task Map: Add a Node to an Existing Global Cluster
|
|
|
Use the clsetup command to add the new node to the cluster authorized-nodes
list. If necessary, also configure the cluster interconnect and reconfigure the private network
address range.
|
|
|
Reconfigure the cluster interconnect and the private network address range as needed to
accommodate the added node.
|
|
|
Use one of the following methods to add a node to an existing global cluster:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update the quorum configuration information.
|
|
|
Validate the quorum configuration.
|
|
|
(Optional) Change a node's private hostname.
|
|
|
Modify the NTP configuration.
|
|
|
If using a volume manager, install the volume management software.
|
|
|
Create cluster file systems or highly available local file systems as needed.
|
|
|
Install third-party applications, register resource types, set up resource groups, and
configure data services.
|
Documentation that is supplied with the application software
|
|
