PRIMECLUSTER Installation and Administration Guide 4.1 (for Solaris(TM) Operating System)

1.2 Installation

After completing the design of the PRIMECLUSTER system and determining the configuration of the PRIMECLUSTER system to be built, install the PRIMECLUSTER system.

Since the work will be performed based on the PRIMECLUSTER system design worksheet that was created, check that all items on the design worksheet have been entered.

Install the PRIMECLUSTER system by performing the following procedure in sequence from (1).

Perform the operations described in the dotted line sections if the system design matches the described conditions.

If you are installing applications after you install the PRIMECLUSTER system, go back to the operations from the Application environment setup to the Application installation.

The screens to be used differ according to the operation. The work procedures to be performed with GUI from Web-Based Admin View and the work procedures to be performed with CLI and CUI from console screens are shown in separate boxes.
