Solaris 10 - Cluster Suite 3.2 2/08 prob

ETC High Performance Computing

Hi,

I am relatively new to Sun Solaris. I am installing 2 node cluster and when I was installing cluster suite 3.2 2/08, it is giving me this error as "Conflict - Incomplete version detected".

Please help me in this regard and also suggest me any valuable point to consider before going ahead with installation and configuration with scinstall utility.

have a look at the output of:

# pkginfo -p

and

# pkginfo | grep -i cluster

after you get the package names with the last command check the versions of cluster software with:

# pkginfo -l packagename_from_last_command

maybe there is an older version of cluster installed or maybe it is only partial installed (the first command will check for this...).

greets,

Hi DN2,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I have followed above commands and found that "SUNWscman" package was installed and it was having 3.2.0,REV=2006.09.26.13.45 as VERSION. I have removed that package and now installing again.

Can you guide me what all things needs to be taken care before moving ahead with configuration with "scinstall" ?

Thanks...

i'm not a cluster specialist... so no, sorry. read the docs (http://docs.sun.com) and do a good planning BEFORE you start.

  • what ist the purpose of your cluster?
  • what is your quorum device?
  • how do you share storage?
  • ...

there is realy a lot to do and to know before installing a cluster. and it all starts with the right solaris installation... do you have a slice reserved during installation called /globaldevices?
how do you mirror your bootstorage? and and and...
