Installing Veritas Access on the target cluster nodes
Before you install Veritas Access on the target cluster nodes, you must allocate enough IP addresses for the cluster. You can install up to a 20-node cluster.
Installing the cluster is a one-time activity. It takes about 40 minutes to install a two-node cluster. Installation times may vary depending on your configuration and the number of nodes.
See About obtaining IP addresses.
If you want to install the Veritas Access cluster with IPv6 IP addresses, you need to configure a static IPv6 address on the driver node and on all the nodes of the cluster. You need to make sure that the IPv6 IP auto-assignment is disabled on all nodes of the cluster. You can then use the IPv6 IPs to install Veritas Access on the cluster nodes.
If you want to configure the cluster in an IPv6 environment or plan to use the cluster in mixed mode that is, configure both IPv4 and IPv6 IPs, you need to disable the IPv6 IP auto-assignment.
To disable the IPv6 IP auto-assignment, add the following entries in the
/etc/sysctl.conf
file for all network interfaces of the node.net.ipv6.conf.<network interface name>.autoconf=0 net.ipv6.conf.<network interface name>.accept_ra=0 net.ipv6.conf.<network interface name>.accept_ra_defrtr=0
To configure a static IPv6 address
- Modify the
vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens161
network interface file by using the following:IPV6INIT="yes" IPV6_AUTOCONF="no" IPV6ADDR=2001:128:f0a2:900a::121/64
- Restart the network service by using thesystemctl restart network command.
