Installation and Basic Setup
with YaST
There are several ways to install the software needed for High Availability clusters:
either from a command line, using
zypper
, or with YaST which provides a graphical
user interface. After installing the software on all nodes that will be part of your cluster,
the next step is to initially configure the cluster so that the nodes can communicate with
each other. This can either be done manually (by editing a configuration file) or with
the YaST cluster module.
NOTE: Installing the Software Packages
The software packages needed for High Availability clusters are not automati-
cally copied to the cluster nodes. Install SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 11 and
SUSE® Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension 11 on all nodes that will be
part of your cluster.
3.1 Installing the High Availability
Extension
The packages needed for configuring and managing a cluster with the High Availability
Extension are included in the
High Availability
installation pattern. This patterns
is only available after SUSE® Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension has been
installed as add-on. For information on how to install add-on products, refer to the
SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Deployment Guide, chapter Installing Add-On Products .
