Installing SavWareHA
Installation
Procedure
The
SavWareHA install procedure will extract the programs and files
from the distribution media, serialize the installation and install
the drivers into the kernel . SavWareHA will not start operating
until it is properly setup using the configuration procedure.
Licensing Types
One of three
versions of SavWareHA are activated on installation. Choice of version
depends on the presence of a serial number, and registration of
the software. The versions are:
- Demonstration:
An unlicensed version of SavWareHA. This will allow one 200Mb
mirror , and will require that the system be rebooted every three
days.
- Evaluation:
A licensed, but unregistered, version of SavWareHA. This will
allow full functionality of the SavWareHA product for 30 calendar
days, after which time the mirroring will cease (no data is destroyed,
just the ability to mirror is removed).
If a fully
registered copy has not been purchased, an evaluation copy can
be fully registered any time within the 30 day period without
reloading and reconfiguring SavWareHA. See the section “Registration
- reggie ” in this manual .
- Fully
Registered: A licensed copy of the software that has been
fully paid for, and is then registered with the ‘reggie
’ registration program. This will function indefinitely
on the two systems.
Initial Installation – SCO
OpenServer5 and SCO Unix
SavWareHA is installed
using SCO's ‘custom ’ program in single-user mode. All
steps should be performed on both the primary and Standby System
s. The steps are:
1. Place the
Primary System in maintenance (single user) mode ; log on to ‘root’.
2. Enter the
‘custom ’ command. The following steps are all
run from within the ‘custom’ program.
3. Choose "Install".
4. Choose "A
New Product".
5. Choose
"Entire Product".
6. Insert the
SavWareHA diskette in the drive.
7. Choose "Continue".
The SavWareHA installation process will make two checks before the
installation is started:
- First, the
install procedure will attempt to make a new kernel before SavWareHA
is installed. If a new kernel cannot be successfully created,
the install procedure will not start. Pre-existing errors in the
link kit must be resolved before SavWareHA can be installed.
- Second,
the install procedure will insure that the contents of ‘/etc/inittab’
match the contents of the files in ‘/etc/conf/init.d/*’
. If they do not match then the discrepancies must be resolved
by the system administrator before SavWareHA can be installed.
8. ‘custom
’ prompts for insertion of the SavWareHA diskette to continue
installation; since the SavWareHA diskette is still in the drive,
press [RETURN]. ‘custom’ extracts files and installs
the SavWareHA programs and files.
9. The SavWareHA
install procedure will prompt for the serial number . This is found
on the card that came with the SavWareHA package. If a serial number
is not available, a demonstration version of SavWareHA can be installed
by pressing [RETURN]. The demonstration copy has the following restrictions:
The mirrored filesystem can be a maximum of 200Mb, the system must
be rebooted at least every three days and only one mirrored filesystem
is allowed. The full system may be activated without reinstallation
later by registration with a valid serial number.
10. When the
install procedure prompts "Rebuild the kernel ? ",
press "y".
11. When the
install procedure prompts "Should this kernel boot by default
? ", press "y".
12. When the
install procedure prompts "Rebuild the kernel environment
?", press "y".
13. At the installation’s
end, exit ‘custom ’.
14. Remove the
SavWareHA diskette from the drive.
15. Give the
‘shutdown ’ command to reboot the system. The system
must be rebooted before the SavWareHA drivers can be accessed.
16. Perform
all of the above steps on the Standby System .
Initial Installation – SCO UnixWare 7
1. Insert the SavWareHA distribution diskette for UnixWare7
in the diskette drive.
2. Use the following
command line installation procedure or use the Software Manager
graphical interface.
3. Login to
the root account and run a command shell window
4. pkgadd -d
diskette1
5. shutdown
–g0 –y –i6
