Installing the Servers
In Sun Cluster HA for Directory Server,both Directory Server and Administration
Server run under the control of Sun Cluster. This means that instead of supplying
the servers with a fully qualified domain name for the physical node during
installation, you provide a fully qualified logical host name that can fail over to a
different node.
You perform installation starting with the node online for the logical host name
used by directoryclientapplications,then repeatingthe process for all other cluster
nodes that you want to master the Directory Server data service.
Installing on the Active Node
Forthecluster node that is onlineforthe logical host name used by directory client
applications:
1. Install the Solaris packages for both Directory Server and Administration
Server, referring to “Installing Solaris Packages,” on page 24 for instructions.
2. Configure Directory Server. Refer to “Configuring Directory Server,” on
page 28 for instructions.
When performing this step:
❍ Place the Directory Server instance on the global cluster file system.
❍ Use the logical host name, not the node name.
3. Configure Administration Server, referring to “Configuring Administration
Server,” on page 29for instructions andusing the samelogicalhostname used
to configure the Directory Server.
4. When using Directory Server in secure mode only, create an empty file named
ServerRoot
/slapd-serverID/keypass to indicate to the cluster that the
Directory Server instance runs in secure mode.
Also create a ServerRoot
/alias/slapd-serverID-pin.txt file, containing the
password required to start the instance automatically in secure mode. This
allows the cluster to restart the data service without human intervention.
