Building an HP SIM 5.x server on a Linux-based Serviceguard Cluster (444847-001, February 2007)

6. If they are not running, start them by executing the following command:

# /opt/mx/bin/mxstart

7. After installing the HP SIM package perform the following steps to create the relevant

directories on the shared storage, copy the contents of the original directory and create

symbolic links. (respectively /etc/pam.d/mxpamauthrealm, /etc/opt/mx, /

opt/mx, /var/opt/mx, /etc/init.d/hpsim, /var/lib/pgsql).

8. Stop the running processes first to avoid problems:

# /etc/init.d/hpsim stop

# /etc/init.d/postgresql stop

9. Create the future shared storage mount point:

# mkdir /hpsimlnx

10. Create the LVM infrastructure on the shared storage (here /dev/sdb):

# fdisk /dev/sdb

Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF

disklabel

Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,

until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous

content won't be recoverable.

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 20480.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
