3.7 Arbitration Software Installation
This section describes how to install the arbitration software. Quorum server software needs
to be installed only when a quorum server is used for HyperMetro.
Prerequisites
l
For details about how to obtain this software, see the
Availability
section.
l
The quorum server has been deployed and its hardware meets the requirements.
NOTE
l
For the hardware requirements on the quorum server, see section
Impact and Restrictions
.
l
If you deploy the quorum server on a VM, you can export an OVA template of this VM for
quick deployment once the VM fails. For details, see
6.6 How Can I Use OVA Templates to
Quickly Deploy Virtual Quorum Servers?
l
The validity period of the default arbitration certificate is 10 years (start from September
2015). Ensure the system time of the quorum server is correct so that the default
arbitration certificate is valid.
l
Use a Secure Shell (SSH) tool such as Xshell, PuTTY to log in to the quorum server.
NOTE
To ensure security of the operating system, you are advised to harden its security. For details about
how to harden security of an operating system, see the official security operation guide of the
operating system.
Context
By default, the Ubuntu system uses dash upon the installation. However, the arbitration
software must be installed in bash mode. Therefore, you must disable dash when installing the
arbitration software in the Ubuntu system.
NOTE
In any directory of the Ubuntu system's operating system, run the
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
command.
Press the
→
key, select
No
, and press
Enter
to disable dash.
The system shell is the default command interpreter for shell scripts.
xUsing dash as the system shell will improve the system's overall performance. It
does not alter the shell presented to interactive users.
Use dash as the default system shell (/bin/sh)?
