Configuring a Cluster Server (VCS) single node cluster
Configure a VCS single node cluster for the Coordination Point server. The following precedure illustrates the process for the example configurattion.
To configure a single-node cluster
- Run the installer script and perform a Pre-Installation Check to verify that the server is ready to have VCS installed.
- Select the product installation option, and when prompted to make a selection choose VCS.
- Select the option to install all RPMs. The VRTScps package is included.
- Enter the name of the host where you are running the configuration, cps1 in this example. After reviewing all the packages that will be installed, the package installation begins. In the example environment, the keyless licensing is required because a Veritas Operation Manager host is deployed. Global Cluster Option will not be enabled.
- When prompted to configure VCS, enter y.
- When prompted to configure fencing, enter n. Fencing is not needed for a single-node cluster.
- Although configuring a single node, you must enable LLT and GAB for Coordination Point Server (CP server) clients to connect to the CP server. When prompted to start GAB and LLT, choose y.
- Enter the cluster name (same as node). For the configuration example, it is cps1.
- Select Configure heartbeat links using LLT over Ethernet.
- In the configuration example, an additional NIC must be configured for the private network. This step is necessary even with a single node cluster.
Enter a unique cluster ID that is not already in use. The installer verifies that the cluster ID is not already in use.
- You do not need to enter a Virtual IP, as the same one used for the host will be fine to use.
- You must configure secure mode or not according to your own configuration requirements. For the example configuration, SFCFSHA is configured to use secure mode, so the Coordination Point Servers must also use secure mode.
- The FIPS option has not been qualified yet with CP servers. When prompted to choose, select Configure the cluster in secure node without fips.
This also matches the configuration done for the cluster nodes.
- For the example configuration, SMTP and SNMP are not used. For your own configuration you must choose based on your requirements.
- The VCS configuration starts after the selections are completed. Once finished, you can verify if VCS is running.
