InfoScale™ 9.0 Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability Configuration and Upgrade Guide - Solaris

-addnode

Adds a node to a high availability cluster.

-ai

The -ai option is supported on Solaris 11 only, and is used to generate Automated Installation manifest. This can be used by Solaris Automated Installation Server to install the InfoScale product, along with the Solaris 11 operation system.

-allpkgs

Displays all packages required for the specified product. The packages are listed in correct installation order. The output can be used to create scripts for command line installs, or for installations over a network.

-comcleanup

The -comcleanup option removes the secure shell or remote shell configuration added by installer on the systems. The option is only required when installation routines that performed auto-configuration of the shell are abruptly terminated.

-comsetup

The -comsetup option is used to set up the ssh or rsh communication between systems without requests for passwords or passphrases.

-configcps

The -configcps option is used to configure CP server on a running system or cluster.

-configure

Configures the product after installation.

-disable_dmp_native_support

Disables Dynamic Multi-pathing support for the native LVM volume groups and ZFS pools during upgrade. Retaining Dynamic Multi-pathing support for the native LVM volume groups and ZFS pools during upgrade increases package upgrade time depending on the number of LUNs and native LVM volume groups and ZFS pools configured on the system.

-fencing

Configures I/O fencing in a running cluster.

-fips

The -fips option is used to enable or disable security with fips mode on a running VCS cluster. It could only be used together with -security or -securityonenode option.

- hostfile full_path_to_file

Specifies the location of a file that contains a list of hostnames on which to install.

-install

Used to install products on system

-online_upgrade

Used to perform online upgrade. Using this option, the installer upgrades the whole cluster and also supports customer's application zero down time during the upgrade procedure. Now this option only supports VCS and ApplicationHA.

-patch_path

Defines the path of a patch level release to be integrated with a base or a maintenance level release in order for multiple releases to be simultaneously installed .

-patch2_path

Defines the path of a second patch level release to be integrated with a base or a maintenance level release in order for multiple releases to be simultaneously installed.

-patch3_path

Defines the path of a third patch level release to be integrated with a base or a maintenance level release in order for multiple releases to be simultaneously installed.

-patch4_path

Defines the path of a fourth patch level release to be integrated with a base or a maintenance level release in order for multiple releases to be simultaneously installed.

-patch5_path

Defines the path of a fifth patch level release to be integrated with a base or a maintenance level release in order for multiple releases to be simultaneously installed.

- keyfile ssh_key_file

Specifies a key file for secure shell (SSH) installs. This option passes -I ssh_key_file to every SSH invocation.

-license

Registers or updates product licenses on the specified systems.

- logpath log_path

Specifies a directory other than /opt/VRTS/install/logs as the location where installer log files, summary files, and response files are saved.

-noipc

Disables the installer from making outbound networking calls to Services and Operations Readiness Tool (SORT) in order to automatically obtain patch and release information updates.

-nolic

Allows installation of product packages without entering a license key. Licensed features cannot be configured, started, or used when this option is specified.

-pkgtable

Displays product's packages in correct installation order by group.

- postcheck

Checks for different HA and file system-related processes, the availability of different ports, and the availability of cluster-related service groups.

-precheck

Performs a preinstallation check to determine if systems meet all installation requirements. Arctera recommends doing a precheck before installing a product.

-prod

Specifies the product for operations.

-component

Specifies the component for operations.

-redirect

Displays progress details without showing the progress bar.

-require

Specifies an installer patch file.

- responsefile response_file

Automates installation and configuration by using system and configuration information stored in a specified file instead of prompting for information. The response_file must be a full path name. You must edit the response file to use it for subsequent installations. Variable field definitions are defined within the file.

-rolling_upgrade

Starts a rolling upgrade. Using this option, the installer detects the rolling upgrade status on cluster systems automatically without the need to specify rolling upgrade phase 1 or phase 2 explicitly.

-rollingupgrade_phase1

The -rollingupgrade_phase1 option is used to perform rolling upgrade Phase-I. In the phase, the product kernel packages get upgraded to the latest version.

-rollingupgrade_phase2

The -rollingupgrade_phase2 option is used to perform rolling upgrade Phase-II. In the phase, VCS and other agent packages upgrade to the latest version. Product kernel drivers are rolling-upgraded to the latest protocol version.

- rootpath root_path

Specifies an alternative root directory on which to install packages.

On Solaris operating systems, -rootpath passes -R path to pkgadd command.

-rsh

Specify this option when you want to use RSH and RCP for communication between systems instead of the default SSH and SCP.

See About configuring secure shell or remote shell communication modes before installing products.

-security

The -security option is used to convert a running VCS cluster between secure and non-secure modes of operation.

-securityonenode

The -securityonenode option is used to configure a secure cluster node by node.

-securitytrust

The -securitytrust option is used to setup trust with another broker.

- serial

-start

Starts the daemons and processes for the specified product.

-stop

Stops the daemons and processes for the specified product.

-timeout

The -timeout option is used to specify the number of seconds that the script should wait for each command to complete before timing out.

The -timeout option does not work with the -serial option

- tmppath tmp_path

Specifies a directory other than /opt/VRTStmp as the working directory for the installation scripts. This destination is where initial logging is performed and where packages are copied on remote systems before installation.
