For a standalone cluster, you do not need to enable LLT and GAB.For more information about LLT and GAB:See “LLT and GAB” on page 15.Starting the installer for the single node clusterWhen you install VCS on a single system, follow the instructions in this guide for installing VCS using the product installer.See “Starting the software installation” on page 50.During the installation, you need to answer two questions specifically for single node installations. When the installer asks:Enter the system names separated by spaces on which to install VCS:Enter a single system name. The installer now asks if you want to enable LLTand GAB:If you plan to run VCS on a single node without any need for adding cluster node online, you have an option to proceed without starting GAB and LLT.Starting GAB and LLT is recommended.
Installing VCS on a single nodeCreating a single-node cluster manually167Do you want to start GAB and LLT? [y,n,q,?] (n) Answer n if you want to use the single node cluster as a standalone cluster.Answer y if you plan to incorporate the single node cluster into a multi-node cluster in the future.Continue with the installation.See “Licensing VCS” on page 51.Creating a single-node cluster manuallyTable 9-4 specifies the tasks involved in installing VCS on a single node.Table 9-4TaskTasks to create a single-node cluster manuallyReferenceSet the PATH variable “Setting the PATH variable” on page 167Install the VCS software manually and adda license key“Installing VCS software manually” onpage 85Remove any LLT or GAB configuration filesand rename LLT and GAB startup files.A single-node cluster does not require thenode-to-node communication service, LLT,or the membership communicationservice, GAB.“Renaming the LLT and GAB startup files”on page 168Create and modify the VCS configurationfiles.Start VCS and verify single-nodeoperation.“Configuring VCS” on page 168“Verifying single-node operation” onpage 169Setting the PATH variableInstallation commands as well as other commands reside in the /sbin, /usr/sbin, /opt/VRTS/bin, and /opt/VRTSvcs/bin directories.
