9.1.1 Setting Up a New Node

Take the following steps to set up the new node.

The new node should be prepared such that the operating system, PTFs, FibreChannel, and packages such as the multipath software have already been installed.

Procedure

1. Install PRIMECLUSTER on the new node.

   This must be done in a single user mode.
   For details, see the "PRIMECLUSTER Installation Guide."

2. Configure NTP.

   Configure NTP for the new node to match the NTP of the existing nodes.

3. Define the following information in the "/etc/inet/hosts" file of the new node.
   • IP address of the existing cluster nodes and the host name that is associated with the IP address
   • IP address of the remote console that is connected to the existing cluster nodes and the host name that is associated with the IP address
   • The IP address of the CIP interface of the existing cluster nodes and the CIP name which uses that IP address
4. Turn off the power to the new node.
