Software Setup Requirements for a Cluster
This chapter summarizes and describes in sequence each of the software setups
required to establish a high availability cluster environment between multiple HP-UX host
servers and a shared RAID storage subsystem.
3.1 Software Requirements Summary
The software setups required to establish a cluster between your RAID subsystem
and HP host servers must be performed in the sequence provided in this chapter,
which is as follows:
•
Install the StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC) RAID Manager
software
•
Create the RAID storageset configuration
•
Install and configure MC/ServiceGuard cluster software on all clustered host
servers
•
Install/configure the (HP) SCSI pass through device driver software on all
remaining host servers comprising the RAID subsystem cluster.
•
Run the SWCC Failover Transition Module Installation Script
3.2 Installing the StorageWorks CC RAID Manager Software
The StorageWorks Command Console agent software, which enables
management of the RAID subsystem, must be installed and configured on any
host server in the cluster from which you choose to perform the initial cluster
configuration work. This server is designated as the “primary” host, and all other
servers in the cluster, “secondary”. This designation must remain constant
throughout the procedures described in this chapter.
Reference the
Getting Started – HSZ70 Solutions Software V7.1 for HP-UX,
Chapters 3 and 4, for procedures to install the StorageWorks CC RAID Manager
Software on your primary host server. (Chapter 3 is required to prepare your
primary host server with the SPT device driver that facilitates communication
with the RAID subsystem, and for configuring the HP-UX file system).
