26 Preparing to install and configure VCSPreparing to install VCS 5.0Hardware requirementsMake sure that you meet the following requirements.Table 2-1ItemVCS systemsDVD driveDisksDisk spaceEthernetcontrollersFibre Channel orSCSI host busadaptersRAMHardware requirements for a clusterDescriptionSun Fire Opteron servers running Solaris 10 x64 Platform Edition.One drive in a system that can communicate to all the nodes in thecluster.Typical VCS configurations require that shared disks supportapplications that migrate between systems in the cluster. The VCS I/Ofencing feature requires that all disks used as data disks or ascoordinator disks must support SCSI-3 Persistent Reservations (PR).The coordinator disk does not store data, so configure the disk as thesmallest possible LUN on a disk array to avoid wasting space.See “Setting up I/O fencing” on page 97.To run VCS, LLT, GAB, the Web Console, and the Java Console, eachVCS system requires the following file system space:■■■550 MB in the /opt directory(additionally the language pack requires another 15 MB)300 MB in /usr20 MB in /varIf you do not have enough free space in /var, then use theinstallvcs command with tmppath option. Make sure thatthe specified tmppath file system has the required free space.■ 10 MB in /In addition to the built-in public Ethernet controller, VCS requires atleast one more Ethernet interface per system. Symantec recommendstwo additional interfaces.Typical VCS configuration requires at least one SCSI or Fibre ChannelHost Bus Adapter per system for shared data disks.Each VCS system requires at least 256 megabytes.Supported operating systemsRun VCS 5.0 on these operating systems at the suggested patch levels.■Solaris 10 (64-bit) operating systems
Preparing to install and configure VCSPreparing to install VCS 5.027For each platform, Symantec recommends applying the latest cumulativeoperating system patches available from Sun. Visit the Sun website formore information.Supported software■ Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) (Solaris 10 only), 4.1, and 5.0■ Veritas File System (VxFS) (Solaris 10 only), 4.1, and 5.0Note: If you plan to set up VCS I/O fencing in a shared storage environment,Symantec recommends using VxVM versions 4.1 or 5.0.Installing root broker for Symantec ProductAuthentication ServiceInstall the root broker only if you plan on using Symantec ProductAuthentication Service. The root broker administrator must install andconfigure the root broker before you configure the Authentication Service forVCS. Symantec recommends that you install the root broker on a stable systemthat is outside the cluster. You can install the root broker on an AIX, HP-UX,Linux, or Solaris system. See Veritas Cluster Server User’s Guide for moreinformation. You can configure the Authentication Service during or after VCSinstallation.See “Symantec Product Authentication Service” on page 20.To install the root broker1 Change to the directory where you can start the installvcs program:# cd cluster_server2 Start the Root Broker installation program:# ./installvcs -security3 Select to install the Root Broker from the three choices that the installerpresents:3 Install Symantec Security Services Root Broker4 Enter the name of the system where you want to install the Root Broker.Enter the system name on which to install VxSS: east5 Review the output as the installer:■■■checks to make sure that the VCS supports the operating systemverifies that you are installing from the global zone (only on Solaris)checks if the system is already configured for security
