LifeKeeper Installation

Proceed with the LifeKeeper installation as instructed in the planning and installation guide for the specific LifeKeeper Product being installed. Refer to the LifeKeeper for Linux Release Notes for additional information.

IMPORTANT: The steeleye-lkCCISS-<LifeKeeper Version> package is required for Linux clustering. Be sure to select this option when selecting packages to install.

IMPORTANT: If prompted to install the CCISS driver during the LifeKeeper for Linux installation process, answer no. The CCISS driver from HP must be used. Do not confuse the CCISS driver with the CCISS package that is installed during the LifeKeeper installation process. The CCISS driver and package are both needed for LifeKeeper for Linux to work properly.

Validating the LifeKeeper Cluster Configuration

After the systems are configured and the resource hierarchy tree is functional from within LifeKeeper, system failover should be tested. To test failover:

1. Run the LifeKeeper console GUI on server node B. The console screen shows

server node A as active and server node B in standby.

2. Right-click server node B and select In Service. A window displays as the

scripts are run to switch server node B into service as the active system.

HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 3 Packaged Cluster Setup and Installation Guide 7-7

Page 85

System Setup and Configuration for Red Hat Linux 7.3 Professional

3. After server node B is active, right-click server node A and select In Service. Again, a window displays as the scripts run to make server node A active.

4. After server node A is active, power off server node A. This initiates a failure and server node B becomes active.

There will be a slight pause before server node B takes over. This is normal because it takes a few seconds for server node B to see that the heartbeat signal for server node A is gone.

Configuration is now complete.
