Appendix C. IRIS FailSafe 2.1.x Software

This appendix summarizes software to be installed on systems used for IRIS FailSafe 2.1.x. It consists of the following sections:


Note: “Install Software” in Chapter 3 contains step-by-step instructions for installing the software.


Subsystems on the CD

The IRIS FailSafe 2.1.x base CD requires about 10 MB.

Table C-1, lists FailSafe 2.1. x subsystems on the IRIS FailSafe 2.1.x CD.

FailSafe system administration

sysadm_failsafe2

sysadm_failsafe2.idb

Users must install base system administration ( sysadm_base), cluster administration (sysadm_cluster.sw and cluster_admin), cluster control ( cluster_control), cluster services (cluster_services ), java (java_eoe), and Java Plug-in ( java_plugin) from the IRIX CD set.

The EL-8+ multiplexer driver subsystems are el_serial, el_serial.man, and el_serial.sw, which are on a CD accompanying the EL-8+ multiplexer.

Subsystems for Servers and Workstations in the Pool

The following table lists subsystems required for servers and workstations in the pool. The pool is the entire set of servers available for clustering (nodes). It includes servers and the workstation(s) used for administering the cluster

Additional Subsystems for Nodes in the FailSafe Cluster

The following table lists additional subsystems required for each server that is a node in the cluster. A cluster is one or more nodes coupled with each other by networks. A node is a single UNIX image, usually, an individual server. A node can be a member of only one cluster.

Additional Subsystems for Administrative Workstations

On a workstation used to run the GUI client, you must install subsystems depending on the type of workstation. The following sections provide a list of the subsystems to install on the following:

  • IRIX Administrative Workstations

  • Non-IRIX Administrative Workstations

Subsystems for IRIX Administrative Workstations

On a workstation used to run the GUI client from an IRIX desktop, such as IRISconsole, install subsystems listed in the following table.
