Installing the Sun Solaris 2.6 Operating System

Installing the Sun Solaris 2.6 Operating System

This chapter describes installation and upgrade of the Sun Solaris 2.6 operating system, Solaris patches, alarm card software, and Volume Manager software on the hardware platform for your solution. If the above components are already installed, you can skip this chapter and go to "Installing the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7.4."

This chapter contains the following sections:


Note   The procedures in this chapter assume that the system is powered on, with both boot disks (A-DSK0 and B-DSK0) removed and booted to the {O} ok prompt. To power on a CPU, push both tabs outward (away from the center). When you are instructed to power off a CPU in the procedures that follow, pull both tabs on the CPU toward the center.

Before You Start


Note   The procedures in this chapter require a working knowledge of the system administration procedures for the Sun Solaris (UNIX) operating system.


Tips Monitor system output frequently for error messages during the installation process and correct any error conditions before continuing with the installation.

Installing the Sun Solaris 2.6 Operating System

This section provides instructions for installing the operating system on the Sun Netra t 1120, t 1125, t 1400, t 1405, and E450 platforms. There are points in the instructions when the responses you make to prompts depend on the disk drive size or other particulars of your system. These places are pointed out as you go.

This section contains the following procedures:

Booting from a Local CD-ROM

To boot from a local CD-ROM, perform the following steps:


Step 1   Put the "Operating Environment Installation CD," part number 704-6914-10, into the CD-ROM drive.


Caution Sun Netra t 112x: During the installation of CD-ROM based software on a Sun Netra t 112X machine, leave the front CD panel open. The CD-ROM drive automatically ejects the CD when finished. If the front panel is closed, damage can occur when the CD is ejected.

Step 2   If the system is currently running, log in as root and shut it down:

# init 0
 

Step 3   From the ok prompt, boot the CD-ROM:

{0} ok boot cdrom
 

If the machine has never had an operating system installed, the following screen appears when the CD-ROM boot is finished:

Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@6,0:f  File and args: 
SunOS Release 5.7 Version Generic_106541-06 [UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0]

To add an optional second Ethernet interface, continue to the "Configuring a Second Ethernet Interface" section .

If you have a second disk drive to configure, see the "Configuring a Second Disk Drive" section .

If neither of these cases applies to your installation, you can begin installation of the Cisco MGC software by continuing to "Installing the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7.4."

If you have questions or need assistance, see the "Obtaining Technical Assistance" section of the Preface.

Configuring a Second Ethernet Interface

A second Ethernet interface is optional to the base configuration. You must configure it separately by following the steps below:


Step 1   Edit thehosts file in /etc to add the IP address and host name of the second Ethernet interface.

Step 2   Save the file and close it.

Step 3   Create a new file named hostname.hme1 in directory /etc. On on the first (and only) line, place the host name for the second Ethernet interface.

Step 4   If the IP address of the second Ethernet interface is on a different network than that of the first Ethernet interface, and this network for the second Ethernet interface has a subnet mask, edit the netmasks file in /etc to add the netmask for the new network. Follow the example in the header of the file.

Step 5   The machine must now be rebooted with a "-r" option to complete the configuration. To do so, type the following command and press Enter:

# reboot -r
 

Step 6   When the machine finishes rebooting, log in as root.

Step 7   Type the following command and press Enter:

# ifconfig -a
 

Verify that the new interface, hme1, appears in the output text that looks similar to the following:


Note   IP addresses are for demonstration purposes only. Actual addresses differ in each application.

lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 
hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 172.24.235.53 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.24.235.255
        ether 8:0:20:9a:76:6c 
hme1: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 172.24.237.53 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.24.237.255
        ether 8:0:20:9a:76:6c
 

This completes the configuration of a second Ethernet interface.

If you have a second disk drive to configure, see the "Configuring a Second Disk Drive" section . Otherwise, you can begin installation of the Cisco MGC software by continuing to "Installing the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7.4."

If you have questions or need assistance, see the "Obtaining Technical Assistance" section of the Preface.

Configuring a Second Disk Drive

If you have a second disk installed that you want to use as mirror of the first in order to increase the availability of the system, go to the "Installing the Volume Manager" section.

If you have a second disk installed that you want to use for log and spool systems in order to increase performance, go to the "Installing Log and Spool File Systems" section .

Installing the Volume Manager


Note   If you are installing the operating system software on a single-host system, skip this section.

This section provides instructions for installing the Sun Enterprise Volume Manager 2.6 software, configuring the hard disk drives, and mirroring the operating system. Disk mirroring increases the availability of your system and prevents data loss. You can offload log and spool tasks to the second disk.


Caution This section should be used only for mirroring the boot disk drive onto a second disk instead of using the second drive for the log and spool file systems.

This section contains the following procedures:

System Date Reset Requirements when Mirroring the System

If you use the Sun Enterprise Volume Manager software to mirror your system and you set the system to a future date, you must reinstall the Sun Solaris operating system to reset the current date. If you change the setting from a future date back to the present date without reinstalling Sun Solaris, your system will not operate.

Installing the Sun StorEdge Volume Manager

Use the procedure below to install the Sun StorEdge Volume Manager:


Step 1   Load the Cisco MGC Software CD in the CD-ROM drive.

Step 2   Log in as root.

Step 3   Install the Volume Manager software patches by entering the following command:

The following notice appears:

VxVM uses license keys to control access.  If you have a SPARCstorage
Array (SSA) controller or a Sun Enterprise Network Array (SENA) controller 
attached to your system, then VxVM will grant you a limited use license 
automatically.  The SSA and/or SENA license grants you unrestricted use 
of disks attached to an SSA or SENA controller, but disallows striping 
and RAID-5 on non-SSA and non-SENA disks.  If you are not running a 
SPARCstorage Array controller, or a Sun Enterprise Network Array controller, then you must obtain a license key to operate.
 
Licensing information:
 System host ID: 80c4d518

Volume Manager Installation
Menu: VolumeManager/Install
 
  The Volume Manager names disks on your system using the controller
  and disk number of the disk, substituting them into the following
  pattern:
        c<controller>t<disk>d<disk>
 
  If the Multipathing driver is installed on the system then for the
  disk devices with multiple access paths, the controller number
  represents a multipath pseudo controller number. For example, if a
  disk has 2 paths from controllers c0 and c1, then the Volume Manager
  displays only one of them such as c0 to represent both the
  controllers.
 
  Some examples would be:
 
        c0t0d0  - first controller, first target, first disk
        c1t0d0  - second controller, first target, first disk
        c1t1d0  - second controller, second target, first disk

  attached to your system.
 
  Quick Installation examines each disk attached to your system and
  attempts to create volumes to cover all disk partitions that might
  be used for file systems or for other similar purposes.
 
  If you do not wish to use some disks with the Volume Manager, or if
  you wish to reinitialize some disks, use the Custom Installation
  option Otherwise, we suggest that you use the Quick Installation
  option.
Hit RETURN to continue.
 

Press Enter to continue. The following text appears:

Mirroring the Boot Disk


Step 1   After the system has rebooted twice, log in as root at the # prompt and run the install_rootdg script as shown below:

#  cd /opt/sun_install
# ./install_rootdg

Note   This process takes approximately 30 minutes to run and does not require user intervention.

# cd /opt/sun_install
# ./install_rootdg
The following is displayed. 
Determine the device names for the disks
