40 Installing and configuring the VCS One Policy Master
Installing the Policy Master
If you configure disaster recovery, VCS One monitors events between clusters.
Using disaster recovery, the global cluster is aware of the state of the service
groups in the global cluster at all times.
To configure disaster recovery, have the following information ready:
■ Two or more unique virtual IP addresses dedicated to disaster recovery. (If
you do not want to configure separate virtual IP addresses for disaster
recovery, you can use the Policy Master virtual IP addresses.)
■ If you configure additional virtual IP addresses, obtain the netmask for each
virtual IP address.
■ A NIC for each unique virtual IP address. (If your Policy Master is set up with
redundant NICs, you do not need a dedicated NIC for disaster recovery.)
Installing the Policy Master
The Veritas Cluster Server One (VCS One) Policy Master software is on the VCS
One software disc for the appropriate platform.
Note: This release of VCS One does not support installing the Policy Master on
Solaris with zones configured. On Solaris, you must install the Policy Master on
a system free of zones.
The VCS One installer installs the Policy Master, and, (optionally) Storage
Foundation. The installer also gives you the option to configure NetApp filer and
disaster recovery.
The installation procedures are in the following subsections:
■ “ Launching the installer ” on page 40
■ “ Specifying the target system ” on page 41
■ “ Specifying whether to install Storage Foundation ” on page 42
■
“ Selecting a license type ” on page 42
■
“ Specifying when to configure the Policy Master ” on page 43
Launching the installer
Launch the VCS One installer to install the Policy Master. You can configure the
Policy Master during the installation process, or you can come back and
configure it after the installation is complete.
