38 Installing and configuring the VCS One Policy Master
Before you install the Policy Master
The name can be up to 128 characters long, and must start with an
alphanumeric character. It can only contain the following characters: A-Z,
a-z, 0-9, ‘_’ and ‘-’. The name cannot contain the following reserved words:
“cluster,” “system,” “group,” “resource,” and “type.”
■ A numerical ID for the Policy Master cluster (a number from 0 - 65535). For
example: 11.
If your configuration has multiple Policy Master clusters (including VCS
clusters), each ID must be unique.
In a configuration that has only one Policy Master system, you do not need
to provide a numerical ID.
■ Names of two or more private NICs on each system.
In a configuration that has only one Policy Master system, you do not need
to provide any private NIC information.
■
A port number for the authentication service (a number from 0 - 65536). The
port must not be a port on which other applications listen.
Instead of providing an authentication service port number, you can use the
default port (14159).
■ One or more virtual IP addresses for the systems in the Policy Master
cluster.
Note: In a Policy Master cluster system, the virtual and physical IP
addresses must be different.
■ Netmasks that the virtual IP addresses use.
■
Public NICs on each Policy Master system.
■
Base IP addresses on each of the public NICs.
Preparing your storage architecture
Symantec recommends that you set up a storage architecture to store your
configuration data. You must configure shared storage in order for the Policy
Master to fail over from one system to another. Prepare the information that
VCS One requires to set up your storage architecture.
Preparing to install Veritas Storage Foundation
Before you install Storage Foundation, have the following system information
ready:
■ The name of the disk group to be created.
