H.3.1 Creating Global Zone

Perform this procedure with all of the nodes which comprise the cluster system.

1-1. OS Installation and Setup to the Global Zone

Install the OS to the global zone. For details, see Oracle Solaris documents.

1-2. Installing Oracle Solaris 10 Zone Package to the Global Zone

If migrating an existing Solaris 10 environment to Zones on Solaris 11, use Oracle Solaris 10 zone package. Check if the system/zones/brand/s10 package is installed. If not, install the package to the global zone for all nodes. For details on how to install it, see Oracle Solaris documents.

If migrating an existing Solaris 10 environment to Zones on Solaris 10, this task is not required.

1-3. Setup of NTP to the Global Zone

This setup is for synchronizing the time for each node which comprises the cluster system. It is absolutely necessary that this be performed when building a cluster of two nodes or more.

Perform this setup on the global zone before installing PRIMECLUSTER.

1-4. Check/Setup of Kernel Parameters to the Global Zone

If operating PRIMECLUSTER-related software, it is necessary to take into account the environment and adjust the OS kernel parameters.

Perform this setup with the global zone before performing the restart after Procedure "1-5 Installing PRIMECLUSTER to the Global Zone."

For details, refer to "3.2.3 Checking the Kernel Parameters."

1-5. Installing PRIMECLUSTER to the Global Zone

For details on the installation of PRIMECLUSTER, refer to "3.1 PRIMECLUSTER Installation."

1-6. Setup of Dependency between SMF Services of RMS and Zones

When using the non-global zone image that are not shared between multiple nodes, execute the following commands on each global zone in all the nodes with the administrator authority.

# svccfg -s svc:/milestone/smawrrms addpg systemzones dependency <Return>
# svccfg -s svc:/milestone/smawrrms setprop systemzones/grouping = astring: optional_all <Return>
# svccfg -s svc:/milestone/smawrrms setprop systemzones/entities = fmri: svc:/system/zones <Return>
# svccfg -s svc:/milestone/smawrrms setprop systemzones/restart_on = astring: none <Return>
# svccfg -s svc:/milestone/smawrrms setprop systemzones/type = astring: service <Return>
# svcadm refresh svc:/milestone/smawrrms <Return>

Execute the following command. If the service of system/zones displays, it means the dependency was set successfully.

# svcs -d milestone/smawrrms | grep zones <Return>
online         01:23:45 svc:/system/zones:default
