Sun Cluster for Solaris Containers SUNWscr and SUNWscgds error

Hi, i have a hopefully not again stupid question ;-)

I am building a cluster which has zones as Data Services. One zone is setup, but

while I am trying to install the Data Service for Solaris Containers I get a Message about

two missing packages in the zone.

root@mynode:/opt/pkg/cluster_agent/components/SunCluster_HA_SOLARIS_ZONES_3.1 # ./installer

The packages are not installed in this zone , i have the following entreis in the Zone Install Log:

***package <SUNWscgds> was not installed:

Thepackage <SUNWscgds> is registered to be installed in the

global zone only. Thepackage may have been installed in the global

zone using the pkgadd'-G' option, or thepackage may contain a

SUNW_PKG_THISZONE=true in the pkginfo file.

***package <SUNWscnmr> was not installed:

Do I have to install this packages manually in the Zone?

Hi,

as the error message said. .You cannot install any Sun Cluster packages within a zone. Sun Cluster lives in the global zone only. These packages must have been installed during the initial install process.

Actually if you look at the documentation for the zone agents, you can see that they access the HA zone from the global zone. Only if you want to make apps within the zone HA; you have deploy your scripts - and only your scripts - within the zone.

Have a look at the docs. It is all documented pretty well.

Following on from Hartmut's posting, I think the issue may be that you have already got a zone created and that you are now trying to add the SUNWsczone agent package. This may need to be added using pkgadd -G to prevent it trying to propagate itself into the zones you have created.

Hope this helps,

Tim

id did not use scinstall, as scinstall insist on having a CD, and i have only the unpacked archive i have downloaded from Sun. So i was running the installer in the HA Agent Package, and this installer does obviously try to install it in all zones.

A direct pagadd -G solved the problem.

Thanks again
