This appendix summarizes software to be installed on systems used for FailSafe. It consists of the following sections:
 | Note: “Install FailSafe” in Chapter 4 contains step-by-step instructions for installing the software. |
The FailSafe base CD requires about 10 MB.
Table A-1, lists FailSafe subsystems on the FailSafe CD.
Purpose | System |
|---|---|
IRIS FailSafe 2.1. x | failsafe2 failsafe2.idb failsafe2.man failsafe2.sw failsafe2.books (InSight versions of customer manuals) |
FailSafe system administration | sysadm_failsafe2 sysadm_failsafe2.idb sysadm_failsafe2.man sysadm_failsafe2.sw |
Users must install base system administration (sysadm_base ), cluster administration (sysadm_cluster.sw and cluster_admin), cluster control (cluster_control ), cluster services (cluster_services), java (java_eoe), and Java Plug-in (java_plugin ) from the IRIX CD set.
The Etherlite network based serial multiplexer driver subsystems are el_serial.man and el_serial.sw, which are on a CD accompanying the multiplexer.
The following table lists subsystems required for servers and workstations in the pool. The pool is the entire set of servers available for clustering (nodes). It includes servers and the workstation(s) used for administering the cluster
Table A-2. Subsystems Required for Nodes in the Pool (Servers and GUI Client(s))
Product | Images and Subsystems | Prerequisites |
|---|---|---|
Base system administration | sysadm_base.sw.dso | None |
Base system administration server | sysadm_base.sw.server | sysadm_base.sw.dso |
Cluster administration GUI
| sysadm_cluster.sw.server | sysadm_base.sw.server |
IRIS FailSafe 2.1. x administration server | sysadm_failsafe2.sw.server | sysadm_base.sw.server sysadm_cluster.sw.server cluster_admin.sw.base cluster_services.sw.cli cluster_control.sw.cli failsafe2.sw |
Cluster administration | cluster_admin.sw cluster_control.sw | sysadm_base.sw.dso |
Web-based administration | sysadm_failsafe2.sw.web | sysadm_failsafe2.sw.client sysadm_failsafe2.sw.server sysadmbase.sw.client java_eoe.sw, version 3.1.1 Web server |
Etherlite network-based serial multiplexer driver (from CD included with multiplexer) | el_serial.man el_serial.sw |
|
The following table lists additional subsystems required for each server that is a node in the cluster. A cluster is one or more nodes coupled with each other by networks. A node is a single UNIX image, usually, an individual server. A node can be a member of only one cluster.
Table A-3. Additional Subsystems Required for Nodes in the Cluster
Product | Images and Subsystems | Prerequisites |
|---|---|---|
Highly available clustering software | cluster_services.sw | cluster_admin.sw cluster_control.sw |
IRIS FailSafe 2.1. x software | failsafe2.sw | cluster_services.sw |
On a workstation used to run the GUI client, you must install subsystems depending on the type of workstation. The following sections provide a list of the subsystems to install on the following:
IRIX workstations
Other operating system workstations
On a workstation used to run the GUI client from an IRIX desktop, install subsystems listed in the following table.
Table A-4. Subsystems Required for IRIX Workstations
Product | Subsystems | Prerequisites |
|---|---|---|
Cluster administration GUI | sysadm_cluster.sw.client
| sysadm_base.sw.client |
FailSafe GUI | sysadm_failsafe2.sw.client sysadm_failsafe2.sw.desktop | sysadm_base.sw.client sysadm_cluster.sw.client java_eoe.sw, version 3.1.1 |
Java Plug-in (required only if the workstation is used to launch the GUI client from a Web browser that supports Java) | java_plugin.sw java_plugin.sw32 | Web browser that supports Java |
