Deploying Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability (SFCFSHA) software
Deploy SFCFSHA in each of the four virtual machines that make up the cluster. To do that, you could have either selected yes in the previous CPI step, so the install could continue, or you could have run the installer script again. If you ran the installer script again, use the following procedure to deploy SFCFSHA.
To deploy SFCFSHA after running the installer script again
- Make the following selections as you run the installer script:
I) Install a Product
5) Veritas InfoScale Enterprise
Agree the terms of the EULA.
- When you are prompted to select the RPMs to install on all systems, select option 3, Install all RPMs.
- Enter the name of the nodes of the cluster (cfs01 cfs02 cfs03 cfs04) on which to install the RPMs.
The installer verifies the pre-requisites again, and a list of all the RPMs that will be installed will be printed. The RPMs are installed.
- Once the RPMs have been installed, the installer prompts you for the license. Select option 2 to enable keyless licensing so this cluster can be managed by VOM (Veritas Operation Manager):
- You do not need licenses to enable the following options for this SFCFSHA deployment:
Replication
Global Cluster Option
Once the licenses have been registered, the installer finishes with the deployment.
You can now start the configuration. If you want a Virtual Machine template with the SFCFSHA software already deployed, stop here and take a snapshot or other copy of this image. The next step will be to run "installer - configure" to continue with the configuration.
