68 Installing and configuring VCSPerforming VCS installation in a secure environmentconfiguration. The installvcs program prompts for cluster information, and creates VCS configuration files without performing installation.See “Configuring the cluster” on page 53.The -configure option can be used to reconfigure a VCS cluster. VCS must not be running on systems when this reconfiguration is performed.Performing VCS installation in a secureenvironmentIn secure enterprise environments, ssh or rsh communication is not allowedbetween systems. In such cases, the installvcs program can install and configureVCS only on systems with which it can communicate—most often the localsystem only. When installation is complete, a “response” file is created.See “Example response file” on page 70.Note that a response file generated by the installvcs program containsdescriptions and explanations of the variables and their values. By copying thisfile to the other systems in the cluster and editing it to reflect the current localsystem, you can use the installation program with the -responsefile option toinstall and configure VCS identically on each system without being prompted.To use installvcs in a secure environment1 On one node in the cluster, start VCS installation using the installvcsprogram.See “Starting the software installation” on page 50.2 Review the output as the installer performs the initial system checks.The installer detects the inability to communicate between systems.3 Press Enter to install VCS on one system and create a response file withwhich you can install on other systems.Would you like to install Cluster Server on systems north only and create a responsefile for systems south? [y,n,q] (y)4 Enter all cluster information. Proceed with the installation andconfiguration tasks.See “Installing and configuring VCS 5.0” on page 48.The installvcs program installs and configures VCS on systems wherecommunication is possible.5 After the installation is complete, review the installer report.The installer stores the response file within the file /opt/VRTS/install/logs/installvcs-universaluniqueidentifier/installvcsuniversaluniqueidentifier.response.
Installing and configuring VCSPerforming automated installations696 If you start VCS before VCS is installed and started on all nodes in thecluster, you will see the output similar to:VCS:11306:Did not receive cluster membership, manual intervention may be needed for seeding7 Using a method of your choice (for example, by using NFS, ftp, or a floppydisk), place a copy of the response file in a directory such as /tmp on the nextsystem to install VCS.8 On the next system, edit the response file.For the variables described in the example, change the name of the systemto reflect the current local system:.$CFG{SYSTEMS} = ["east"];..$CFG{KEYS}{east} = ["XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX"];.For demo or site licenses, the license key need not be changed. When licensekeys are “node-locked” to specific cluster nodes, you must edit the licensekey.9 On the next system:■■Mount the product disc.See “Mounting the product disc” on page 39.Start the software installation using the installvcs -responsefileoption.# ./installvcs -responsefile /tmp/installvcs-uui.responseWhere uui is the Universal Unique Identifier that the installer automatically assigned to the response file.See “Starting the software installation” on page 50.10 Repeat step 7 through step 9 until VCS has been installed on all nodes in thecluster.Performing automated installationsUsing installvcs program with the -responsefile option is useful not only forinstalling and configuring VCS within a secure environment, but for conductingunattended installations to other clusters as well. Typically, you can use theresponse file generated during the installation of VCS on one cluster to installVCS on other clusters. You can copy the file to a system in another cluster andmanually edit the file to contain appropriate values.
