3 Installing a New ACSLS HA Solaris Environment for ACSLS 8.5.1

Use the following procedure to install a new ACSLS HA Solaris environment with Solaris 11.4 SRU14, ACSLS 8.5.1, and Solaris Cluster 4.4.
Review all steps before performing the procedure and ensure that you perform all steps in the order listed.

Note:

  • Be aware of component versions as updates proceed. Several reboots and additional steps for Solaris are required.
  • Do not uninstall ACSLSHA 8.4 at any time during this procedure.
  • Reference the following publications:
    • ACSLS 8.4 Installation Guide
    • ACSLS 8.5 Installation Guide
    • ACSLS 8.4 HA Cluster Installation, Configuration, and Operation
  1. Install Solaris 11.4 and update Solaris to SRU14.
  2. Utilize the publication ACSLS 8.4 HA Cluster Installation, Configuration, and Operation to install ACSLS 8.4 and ACSLSHA 8.4.
    • If you are installing all hardware and software from scratch, then perform all installation steps with the exception of Solaris Cluster 4.2 installation.
    • If you are using a hardware configuration previously configured for an ACSLS HA 8.4 environment, then you do not need to perform steps relative to configuring hardware or software for the shared storage (zpool acslspool) or hardware network interface and library cabling.
    • You must configure the network interface configuration using ipmp or ipadm, in addition to additional software steps including configuration of ssh keys and /etc/host files, as described in the publication ACSLS 8.4 HA Cluster Installation, Configuration, and Operation.
  3. Import the zpool acslspool (/export/home is mounted).
  4. Remove Solaris ACSLS 8.4.
  5. Utilize the ACSLS 8.5.1 Installation Guide to install ACSLS 8.5.1 for Solaris and configure your library using acsss_config.
  6. Install Solaris Cluster 4.4 using the cluster installation instructions provided in the publication ACSLS 8.4 HA Cluster Installation, Configuration, and Operation and run the scinstall utility, specifying the same interconnect network devices previously used with Solaris Cluster 4.2.
  7. Run the ACSLSHA command acsAgt configure on the node on which the zpool acslspool is imported. Respond to the prompts for network devices in the same manner in which they were assigned in the publication ACSLS 8.4 HA Cluster Installation, Configuration, and Operation.
  8. Export the zpool acslspool.
  9. Once you have completed steps 1-8 for each node, reboot both nodes and ensure that cluster resources acsls-rs, acsls-storage, and LogicalHost are online to one host using the clrs status command.
