These procedures assume the physical setting up of the nodes has already been completed, e.g. disks connected to all the required nodes.

1. Set up /etc/cmcluster/cmclnodelist to include nodes in cluster

2. Check kernel parameters on nodes are consistent

3. Check users and groups have the same uids/gids

4. Enable NTP

5. Check active NICs have ipaddress associated with them (netconf) and standby NICs don't.

6. Install Service Guard from cd

7. Comment out Service Guard controlled VGs from /etc/fstab

8. Copy volume groups to nodes as required using vgexport/vgimport

9. Update /etc/lvmpvg if used

10. Edit /etc/lvmrc so Service Guard controlled VGs aren't auto activated (this shouldn't include root VG)

11. Create cluster config file using cmquerycl

12. Edit file created as required

13. Check file using cmcheckconf

14. Create package config file using cmmakepkg

15. Edit as required

16. Create package control script using cmmakepkg

17. Customise script as required

18. Copy control script to other nodes

19. Check package config file with cmcheckconf

20. Compile and distribute using cmapplyconf

21. Relocatable ipaddresses must be defined in DNS or /etc/hosts

22. Check cluster with cmruncl, cmviewcl and cmhaltcl

23. Edit /etc/rc.config.d/cmcluster so it auto starts

24. Start with cmruncl command
