VCS One
This chapter includes the following topics:
■About installing VCS One
■Installing the VCS One agents
■Getting your VCS One licenses
■Setting up the Policy Master cluster hardware
■Opening the required ports
■Running installation prechecks
■About the Symantec Product Authentication Service
■Configuring ssh, rsh, or remsh before installing

18 Getting ready to install VCS One
About installing VCS One
About installing VCS One
Installing Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) One involves the following procedures:
■Setting up the hardware for the Policy Master cluster
■Setting up the network communications among systems
■Setting up Symantec Product Authentication Service (AT)
■Configuring shared storage
■Creating the disk group and file system for VCS One Policy Master database
■Installing the VCS One Policy Master and verifying the installation
■Connecting the VCS One client systems to the Policy Master cluster using
the public network
■Installing the VCS One client software on the client systems
■Installing the agents
■Installing the Simulator (optional)
■Testing shared storage devices and coordinator disks for compliance with
SCSI-3 persistent reservations
■Configuring I/O Fencing (optional, but recommended)
Installing the VCS One agents
In addition to the agents that are bundled with the product, VCS One provides
agents for the management of key enterprise applications. Typically, agents
start, stop, and monitor resources and report state changes. The high
availability agents are located on the Veritas High Availability Agent Pack
software disc that is included with VCS One. The Agent Pack disc contains the
currently shipping agents and is released quarterly to add new agents. See the
following documentation available on the Agent Pack disc:
■For an overview of the supported high availability agents, read the Veritas
High Availability Agent Pack Getting Started Guide.
■For installation instructions, read the agent installation and configuration
guides.

19Getting ready to install VCS One
Getting your VCS One licenses
Getting your VCS One licenses
VCS One is a licensed product.
Table 1-1 lists the VCS One license types.
Regardless of the license type, the VCS One functional modes are described in
Table 1-2.
Note: If you choose VCS One Start, you must set the GrpFaultPolicy and
NodeFaultPolicy attributes to NoFailover when you create a service group. For
information about how to set these attributes when you create a service group,
see the Veritas Cluster Server One User’s Guide.
Table 1-1 VCS One license types
VCS One license type Description
Demo A demo license that lets you use the product for
30 days for evaluation purposes only.
After 12 months, the product auto-disables
high availability (HA) for the Policy Master and
significantly reduces functionality.
NFR A not-for-resale license, limited to one year.
Symantec partners and customers use this
license for stack certification and testing.
After 12 months, the product auto-disables
high availability (HA) for the Policy Master and
significantly reduces functionality.
Permanent A permanent license.
Table 1-2 VCS One functional modes
VCS One functional modes Features
VCS One HA VCS One with all features enabled

■Auto-failover
■Priority-based application availability
VCS One Start lets you manually start, stop,
and move applications.

20 Getting ready to install VCS One
Setting up the Policy Master cluster hardware
Setting up the Policy Master cluster hardware
The Policy Master manages the VCS One cluster. You must set up a Policy
Master cluster with two systems to ensure high availability for the Policy
Master. Each system in the Policy Master cluster is connected to shared storage
and dedicated network links. Follow the instructions in this section to acquire
and set up the hardware that is needed to run the Policy Master cluster.
To set up the Policy Master cluster hardware
1Select two to four Solaris or Linux systems with the following capabilities:
■At least 2 gigabytes of physical memory
■At least one network interface for private communication between the
Policy Master cluster systems; two links are desirable.
■At least one network link between the Policy Master and the VCS One
client systems. Two links are preferable.
2Choose a storage architecture for the Policy Master configuration data.
See “Configuring your storage architecture” on page 51.
If you use Storage Foundation, select a storage device for the Policy Master
configuration database. The device is shared between the two systems and
should support SCSI-3 persistent reservations.
For information on how to connect and configure the storage at the
appropriate time, see: “Adding storage devices” on page 98.
3Connect the TCP/IP network to the client systems.
4Use the ping utility to test the network connections.
