Description

Before the Anaconda installation DVD was available, all Open-Sharedroot clusters were installed manually following the Mini-Howtos. For implementing complex cluster solutions with advanced Open-Sharedroot features or when using technology previews, a manual install is still frequently used. So it is very important that all new Open-Sharedroot releases are thoroughly tested with manual installations.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Check that the test equippment matches the following requirements:

• At least two nodes (physical strongly recommended)

  • minimum 512 MB RAM per node
  • 2GHz class CPU
  • 10 GB local hard disk space (optional)
  • 2 Fast Ethernet Network Interfaces (4 with bonding configuration highly recommended)
  • FC Hostbus Adapter (Qlogic highly recommended, optional redundant configuration)

• Fibre Channel Shared Storage

  • 1 GB Shared Boot
  • 2.5 GB Shared Root
  • 1 GB Shared Data (optional)
  • 100 MB Quorum Disk (optional)
  • 1 GB Shared Boot Clone (optional)
  • 2.5 GB Shared Root Clone (optional)

Recommended Shared Storage: HP MSA, HP EVA, HP XP and EMC Clarion.

2. Document your test equippment (especially if you are a junior tester).
3. Strictly follow the Mini-Howtos to install the Open-Sharedroot cluster
4. Document and report all unusual behaviour via bugzilla.

Expected Results

1. The test equippment should match the recommendation. Unusual setups should be discussed on the mailing list.
2. Installation according the Mini-Howtos should be possible and the system should boot in Sharedroot that resides on a clustered filesystem.

GFS:

[root@axqa02rc_1 ~]# mount | grep " / "
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/vg_axqa02rc_sr/lv_sharedroot on / type gfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime)

OSCFS2:

demo002a:~ # mount | grep " / "
/dev/sdc on / type ocfs2 (rw)
