HACMP installation

[edit] Installing HACMP v5.4 from cd/network source on AIX 5L
note: the AIX version used is 5.3 Techlevel 9 (visible through the command oslevel -s)
[edit] Providing the installation files
In this example we will display two ways of providing the installation files needed for installing HACMP. You can use either the network or the CD, only one of two is needed.
[edit] Mount network source
Mount the NFS to /mnt.
Note: if you use a mountpoint different than /mnt, please replace all mentions of /mnt with the used mountpoint.
mount aixserver01nim:/export/eznim/lpp_source/hacmp /mnt
note: in this example we used /export/eznim/lpp_source/hacmp on the server aixserver01nim for creating a NFS mount see creating NFS mount
[edit] Mount cd source
Insert the CD with the software in the cd tray. Ensure that the CD is connected to the LPAR (see connecting CD drive)
[edit] Installing the packages
smitty install_latest
When the input device is requested enter /mnt (or when using the cd /dev/cd0) and press enter.
[edit] Selecting packages
Go to the list item <SOFTWARE to install> and press F4 (or esc+4)
Select the following software (highlight the package and press F7):
- cluster.license
- cluster.es(.server)
- cluster.cspoc
The following dependencies are needed for installation:
- rsct.compat.basic.hacmp 2.4.0.0
- rsct.compat.basic.hacmp 2.4.7.0
- rsct.compat.clients.hacmp 2.4.0.0
- rsct.compat.clients.hacmp 2.4.7.0
Note: Setting <PREVIEW only? (install operation will not occur)> to 'yes' is advised to see what dependencies you are missing.
It is recommended to set <COMMIT software updates> to 'no' and commit the applied software after a succesfull installation. Before you start, set the menu option <ACCEPT new license agreements?> to 'yes'.
If there are no dependencies missing, set <PREVIEW only?> to 'no' and start the installation by pressing enter. After a succesfull installation smitty will show 'Command: OK'.
Quit smitty using F10 (or esc+0)
[edit] Committing applied software
In the previous chapter we set the option <COMMIT software updates?> to 'no'. After a succesfull installation we should still commit the currently applied software.
To do this, use the following smitty command:
smitty commit
OPTIONAL: Select the software from the list item <SOFTWARE name> you want to commit, leave it to 'all' if you want to commit all software.
Again, it is advised to set <PREVIEW only?> to 'yes' the first time, before really committing the updates.
After selecting the software you would like to commit, press enter to start the command. If the command ran without errors, [smitty] shows 'Command: OK', else [smitty] shows 'Command: Failed' and shows all output which will include a detailed report on the failure.
