HA cluster installation
Hardware Installations:
We have created two LPAR on IBM p720 System and Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4
on LPAR system. After that we perform below pre configuration on Operating System for
all target system.
Run below command to check current selinux status & change the selinux setting as
required.
# setenforce 0
# sestatus
# getenforce
Packages Installations:
You can use the following yum install command to install the Red Hat High Availability
Add-On software packages:
Note: the rgmanager will pull in all necessary dependencies to create an HA cluster from
the HighAvailability channel. The lvm2-cluster and gfs2-utils packages are part of
ResilientStorage channel and may not be needed by your site.
The following cluster configuration tools are available with Red Hat High Availability
Add-On:
Conga — this is a comprehensive user interface for installing, configuring, and managing
Red Hat High Availability Add-On.
ccs — this command configures and manages Red Hat High Availability Add-On.
Command-line tools — this is a set of command-line tools for configuring and managing
Red Hat High Availability Add-On.
You can start ricci by using service ricci start or by enabling it to start at boot time via
chkconfig.
For the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 release and later, using ricci requires a password
the first time you propagate updated cluster configuration from any particular node. You
set the ricci password as root after you install ricci on your system with the passwd ricci
command, for user ricci.
Creating a cluster with luci consists of naming a cluster, adding cluster nodes to the
cluster, entering the ricci passwords for each node, and submitting the request to create a
cluster. If the node information and passwords are correct, Conga automatically installs
software into the cluster nodes (if the appropriate software packages are not currently
installed) and starts the cluster.
To administer Red Hat High Availability Add-On with Conga, install and run luci as
follows:
1. Select a computer to host luci and install the luci software on that computer. For
example:
2. Start luci using service luci start. For example:
3. At a Web browser, place the URL of the luci server into the URL address box and click
Go (or the equivalent).
https://luci_server_hostname:8084
Step 1: Define a Cluster:
Define the cluster name & input all the information for the two node cluster.
