IBM GC23-7753-05 - Manual (Page 29)

The settings that you specified in the clusterit_a.exe utility are written to the newly
created %INFORMIXDIR%/cluster/clusterit.ini file.
You can check the state of the database server by running the onstat command.
Installing the Informix server on the secondary node of a
cluster environment
Uninstall any previous Informix installations on the secondary node before
implementing a new cluster installation.
Before starting this task, do the following:
v The primary node installation of the database server is configured following the
“Installing the Informix server on the primary node of a cluster environment” on
page 2-7 instructions.
v Copies of the silent_install_11.70.ini, clusterit_b.exe, and cluster.ini files
in %INFORMIXDIR% on the primary node must be on the secondary node.
v Verify that the INFORMIXDIR environment variable is not set.
v Verify you have Administrator privileges to administer Windows operating
system groups on the computer for the secondary node.
v The following task is documented for environments where user informix runs
the database server instance and is a domain account.
When you run the clusterit_b.exe utility on the secondary node, the utility
performs the following tasks:
v Installs on the secondary node (silent installation)
v Copies registry entries from the primary node
v Copies the configuration file from the primary node
v Makes the resource .dll file (ifxdb920.dll) available on the secondary node
To install the database server in a cluster configuration on the secondary node:
1.
Copy the silent_install_11.70.ini file and the cluster.ini file from
%INFORMIXDIR%
of the primary node to computer for the secondary node.
2. Run the clusterit_b.exe utility on the secondary node. The IBM Informix
ClusterIT - secondary node window opens.
3. Fill in the text boxes:
a.
In the Physical hostname primary node field, enter the physical host name
of the primary node.
b. Enter the full path information in the Full path to the Informix installation
media
field.
c. Enter the Instance number for Informix on the secondary node. This
number is the same as that of Informix on the first node.
d. Enter the location of the installation (the value of %INFORMIXDIR% must be
located on a local disk and must be identical for both nodes).
e. Enter your Informix password.
f. In the DBSERVERNAME final (when clustered) text box, enter the name of
the Informix instance in the cluster configuration. On this secondary node,
Informix will be installed directly with this name.
g. Check whether to enable Role separation. For more information, see “Plan
role separation” on page 1-3.
