Platform: Linux

Adding a new node to a Veritas Access cluster

This section describes the manual steps for addition of nodes to a cluster when SSH communication is disabled.

Pre-requisites

Supported operating system version is: RHEL 7.4
It is assumed that Veritas Access image is present in your local system at the /access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/ location.
The cluster is named as clus and the cluster nodes are named as clus_01 and clus_02. Cluster names should be unique for all nodes.
Install and run Veritas Access on a single node and then add a new node to create a two-node cluster.
SSH service is stopped on all the nodes.
Assume that the public NICs are pubeth0, pubeth1, and private NICs are priveth0 and priveth1. NIC names should be consistent across all nodes. Public NIC names and private NIC names should be same across all nodes.
Use 172.16.0.3 as private IP address for clus_01 and 172.16.0.4 as private IP address for clus_02.
The new node is added to a freshly installed Veritas Access cluster.

To add a new node to a Veritas Access cluster

Copy the Veritas Access image on the new node of the desired cluster.
Stop the SSH daemon on all the nodes.
```
# systemctl stop sshd
```

Verify if the following rpms are installed. If not, install the rpms from the RHEL repository.

bash-4.2.46-28.el7.x86_64
lsscsi-0.27-6.el7.x86_64
initscripts-9.49.39-1.el7.x86_64
iproute-3.10.0-87.el7.x86_64
kmod-20-15.el7.x86_64
coreutils-8.22-18.el7.x86_64
binutils-2.25.1-31.base.el7.x86_64
python-requests-2.6.0-1.el7_1.noarch
python-urllib3-1.10.2-3.el7.noarch

Install the required operating system rpms.

Create a repo file.

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/os.repo   
		[veritas-access-os-rpms]
		name=Veritas Access OS RPMS
		baseurl=file:///access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/os_rpms/
		enabled=1
		gpgcheck=0

Run the following command:
```
# yum updateinfo
```

Run the following command:

# cd /access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/os_rpms/

Before running the following command, make sure that there is no RHEL subscription in the system. The yum repolist should point to veritas-access-os-rpms only.

In this command, you can update the rpm version based on the rpms in the /access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/third_party_rpms/ directory.

Install the Veritas Access rpms.

Run the following command:

# cd /access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/rpms/repodata/
# cat access73.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/access73.repo

Update the baseurl and gpgkey entry in the /etc/yum.repos.d/access73.repo for yum repository directory.

baseurl=file:///access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/rpms/

gpgkey=file:///access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/rpms/
RPM-GPG-KEY-veritas-access7

Run the following commands to refresh the yum repository.
- ```
	# yum repolist
```
- ```
	# yum grouplist
```
Run the following command.
```
# yum -y groupinstall ACCESS73
```

Run the following command.

# /opt/VRTS/install/bin/add_install_scripts

Install the Veritas NetBackup client software.

# cd /access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64
# /opt/VRTSnas/install/image_install/netbackup/install_netbackup.pl 
/access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/netbackup

Create soft links for Veritas Access. Run the following command.

# /opt/VRTSnas/pysnas/install/install_tasks.py 
all_rpms_installed parallel

License the product.
- Register the permanent VLIC key.
```
# /opt/VRTSvlic/bin/vxlicinstupgrade -k <Key>
```
- Verify that the VLIC key is installed properly:
```
# /opt/VRTSvlic/bin/vxlicrep
```
- Register the SLIC key file:
```
# /opt/VRTSslic/bin/vxlicinstupgrade -k $keyfile
```
- Verify that the SLIC key is installed properly:
```
# /opt/VRTSslic/bin/vxlicrep
```
Take a backup of the following files:
- /etc/sysconfig/network
- /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
- /etc/resolv.conf
Configure the private NIC:
```
# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
```
- Configure the first private NIC.
  - Run the following command.
    # ip link set down priveth0
  - Update the ifcfg-priveth0 file with the following:
    DEVICE=priveth0 NAME=priveth0 BOOTPROTO=none TYPE=Ethernet ONBOOT=yes
  - Add entries in the ifcfg-priveth0 file.
    HWADDR=<MAC address> IPADDR= 172.16.0.3 (use IPADDR= 172.16.0.4 for second node) NETMASK=<netmask> NM_CONTROLLED=no
    For example:
    HWADDR=00:0c:29:0c:8d:69 IPADDR=172.16.0.3 NETMASK=255.255.248.0 NM_CONTROLLED=no
  - Run the following command.
    # ip link set up priveth0
- Configure the second private NIC.
  You can configure the second private NIC in the same way. Instead of priveth0, use priveth1 for second node. You do not need to provide IPADDR for priveth1.
Configure the public NIC.
```
# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
```
- Configure the second public NIC, pubth1 (in which the host IP is not already configured).
  - Run the following command:
    # ip link set down pubeth1
  - Update the ifcfg-pubeth1 file with the following:
    DEVICE=pubeth1 NAME=pubeth1 TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes
  - Add entries in the ifcfg-pubeth1 file.
    HWADDR=<MAC address> IPADDR=<pubeth1_pub_ip> NETMASK=<netmask> NM_CONTROLLED=no
  - Run the following command.
    # ip link set up pubeth1
- Configure the first public NIC, pubeth0.
  - As the first public NIC will go down, make sure that you access the system directly from its console.
  - Run the following command:
    # ip link set down pubeth0
  - Update the ifcfg-pubeth0 file with the following:
    DEVICE=pubeth0 NAME=pubeth0 TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes
  - Add entries in the ifcfg-pubeth0 file.
    HWADDR=<MAC address> IPADDR=<pubeth0_pub_ip> NETMASK=<netmask> NM_CONTROLLED=no
  - Run the following command.
    # ip link set up pubeth0
  - Verify the changes.
    # ip a
  - Run the following command.
    # service network restart
    SSH to the above-mentioned IP should work if you start the sshd service.
Configure the DNS.
Update the /etc/resolv.conf file by adding the following entries:
```
nameserver <DNS>
domain <master node name>
```
For example:
```
nameserver 10.182.128.134
domain clus_01
```
Configure the gateway.
Update the /etc/sysconfig/network file.
```
GATEWAY=$gateway
NOZEROCONF=yes
```
Update the configfileTemplate file.
- Enter the following command:
```
# cd /access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/manual_install/network
```
- Update the configfileTemplate file with the current system details:
  - Use master as the mode for the master node and slave as the mode for the other nodes.
  - This template file is used by the configuration utility script to create configuration files.
  - Provide the same name (current host name) in old_hostname and new_hostname.
  - If you install Veritas Access on a single node, then that node acts as master node. Hence, you have to provide only the master node information in the template file.

Generate the network configuration files.

The configuration utility script named configNetworkHelper.pl creates the required configuration files.
```
# cd /access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/manual_install/network
# chmod +x configNetworkHelper.pl
```

Run the configuration utility script.

# ./configNetworkHelper.pl -f configfileTemplate

# cat /opt/VRTSnas/scripts/net/network_options.conf > 
/opt/VRTSnas/conf/network_options.conf

# sed -i -e '$a\' /opt/VRTSnas/conf/net_console_ip.conf

Update the /etc/hosts file.

# echo "172.16.0.3 	<master hostname>" >> /etc/hosts
# echo "172.16.0.4 	<slave node name>" >> /etc/hosts

For example:

# echo "172.16.0.3 	clus_01" >> /etc/hosts
# echo "172.16.0.4 	clus_02" >> /etc/hosts

Create the S3 configuration file.

# cat /opt/VRTSnas/conf/ssnas.yml
ObjectAccess:
  config: {admin_port: 8144, s3_port: 8143, server_enable: 'no', 
  ssl: 'no'}
  defaults:
    fs_blksize: '8192'
    fs_encrypt: 'off'
    fs_nmirrors: '2'
    fs_options: ''
    fs_pdirenable: 'yes'
    fs_protection: disk
    fs_sharing: 'no'
    fs_size: 20G
    fs_type: mirrored
    poollist: []
  filesystems: {}
  groups: {}
  pools: {}

Set up the Storage Foundation cluster.

# cd /access_build_dir/rhel7_x86_64/manual_install/
network/SetupClusterScripts

# mkdir -p /opt/VRTSperl/lib/site_perl/UXRT72/CPIR/Module/veritas/

# cp sfcfsha_ctrl.sh /opt/VRTSperl/lib/site_perl/UXRT72/CPIR/
Module/veritas/sfcfsha_ctrl.sh

```
# cp module_script.pl /tmp/
```
```
# chmod +x /tmp/module_script.pl
```

Update the cluster name, system name, and NIC name in the following command and execute it:

# /tmp/module_script.pl veritas::sfcfsha_config '{"cluster_name" => 
"<Provide cluster name here>","component" => "sfcfsha","state" => 
"present","vcs_users" => "admin:password:Administrators,user1:
passwd1:Operators", "vcs_clusterid" => 14865,"cluster_uuid" => 
"1391a-443ab-2b34c","method" => "ethernet","systems" => 
"<Provide hostnames separated by comma>",
"private_link" => "<Private NIC name separated by comma>"}'

For example, if the cluster name is clus and host names are clus_01 and clus_02.

# /tmp/module_script.pl veritas::sfcfsha_config '{"cluster_name" => 
"clus","component" => "sfcfsha","state" => "present","vcs_users" => 
"admin:password:Administrators,user1:passwd1:Operators",
"vcs_clusterid" => 14865,"cluster_uuid" => "1391a-443ab-2b34c",
"method" => "ethernet","systems" => "clus_01,clus_02",
"private_link" => "priveth0,priveth1"}'

Update and configure the following files:

# rpm -q --queryformat '%{VERSION}|%{BUILDTIME:date}|
%{INSTALLTIME:date}|%{VERSION}\n' VRTSnas > 
/opt/VRTSnas/conf/version.conf

# echo NORMAL > /opt/VRTSnas/conf/cluster_type

# echo 'path /opt/VRTSsnas/core/kernel/' >> /etc/kdump.conf

# sed -i '/^core_collector\b/d;' /etc/kdump.conf

# echo 'core_collector makedumpfile -c --message-level 1 -d 31' >> 
/etc/kdump.conf

Start the Veritas Access product processes.

Provide the current host name in the following command and execute it.

# /tmp/module_script.pl veritas::process '{"state" => "present",
"seednode" => "<provide current hostname here>","component"
 => "sfcfsha"}'

For example, if the hostname of new node is clus_02:

# /tmp/module_script.pl veritas::process '{"state" => 
"present","seednode" => "clus_02","component" => "sfcfsha"}'

Run the following command.

# /opt/VRTSnas/pysnas/install/install_tasks.py 
all_services_running serial

Create the CVM group.
If the /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db file exists, then execute the following command.
```
# mv /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db 
/etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db.a
```
If CVM is not configured already then run the following command on the master node.
```
# /opt/VRTS/bin/cfscluster config -t 200 -s
```

Enable hacli.

Verify in /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf file. If "HacliUserLevel = COMMANDROOT" exists, then move to step 22, else follow below steps to enable hacli in your system.

# /opt/VRTS/bin/hastop -local

Update the /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf file.

If it does not exist, then add the following line:

HacliUserLevel = COMMANDROOT 	in cluster <cluster name> ( ) loop

For example:

cluster clus (
			UserNames = { admin = aHIaHChEIdIIgQIcHF, user1 = aHIaHChEIdIIgFEb }
			Administrators = { admin }
			Operators = { user1 }
			HacliUserLevel = COMMANDROOT
# /opt/VRTS/bin/hastart

Verify that hacli is working.

# /opt/VRTS/bin/hacli -cmd "ls /" -sys clus_01

Verify that the HAD daemon is running.
```
# /opt/VRTS/bin/hastatus -sum
```

Mention that SSH is disabled.

On all the nodes, create a communication.conf file to enable hacli instead of ssh.

vim /opt/VRTSnas/conf/communication.conf
{
	"WorkingVersion": "1",
	"Version": "1",
	"CommunicationType": "HACLI"
}

Update the /etc/llthosts for the new node. Run the following command on the master node:
```
# echo "1 clus_02" >> /etc/llthosts
```
Restart the LLT service. Run the following command on the master node:
```
# service llt restart
```
Verify that the system is configured correctly.
- Verify that LLT is configured correctly.
```
# lltconfig -a list
```
- Verify that GAB is configured properly.
```
# gabconfig -a
```
- Verify the LLT state.
```
# lltstat -nvv
```
- The vxconfigd daemon should be online on both nodes.
```
# ps -ef | grep vxconfigd
```
  For example:
```
# ps -ef | grep vxconfigd
root   13393 1  0 01:33 ?  00:00:00 vxconfigd -k -m disable -x syslog
```
Run the join operation on the new node.
- Ensure that HAD is running on all the nodes.
```
# /opt/VRTS/bin/hastatus
```
- Run the following command:
```
# /opt/VRTSnas/install/image_install/installer -m join
```

Update the groups lists with the new node.

Run the following commands on the master node.

```
# /opt/VRTS/bin/haconf -makerw
```

Update the sysname with the new node name.

max_pri = Number of nodes after adding the new node - 1

# sysname=<new node name>;max_pri=<max_pri_value>;for i in 
`/opt/VRTS/bin/hagrp -list | awk '{print $1}' | sort | 
uniq`; do /opt/VRTS/bin/hagrp -modify $i 
SystemList -add $sysname $max_pri; done

For example:

# sysname=clus_02;max_pri=1;for i in `/opt/VRTS/bin/hagrp 
-list | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq`; 
do /opt/VRTS/bin/hagrp -modify $i SystemList -add 
$sysname $max_pri; done

Note:

If the command gives any warning for child dependency, then run the command again.

Verify that the system list is updated.

# for i in `/opt/VRTS/bin/hagrp -list | 
awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq`; 
do /opt/VRTS/bin/hagrp -display $i |

then echo "updating group: $i"; 
/opt/VRTS/bin/hagrp -modify $i 
AutoStartList -add $sysname; fi;done

Update the preonline system list.

# sysname=<new node name>;for i in `/opt/VRTS/bin/hagrp -list | 
awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq`; do 
ret=`/opt/VRT/opt/VRTS/bin/S/bin/hagrp -value

1 -sys $sysname; fi;done

```
# /opt/VRTS/bin/haconf -dump -makero
```
```
# /opt/VRTS/bin/hastop -all
```

Run the following command on all the nodes.

# /opt/VRTS/bin/hastart

Configure CVM and CFS. Run the following commands on the master node.

```
# /opt/VRTS/bin/haconf -makerw
```

# system=<master node>;new_node_name=<new node>;
cvmres=`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -list Type=CVMCluster -localclus | 
awk '{print $1}' | uniq`;n=`/opt/VRTS/bin/hasys -value 
$new_node_name LLTNodeId`;/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -modify 
$cvmres CVMNodeId -add $new_node_name $n

For example:

# system=clus_01;new_node_name=clus_02;cvmres=
`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -list Type=CVMCluster -localclus | 
awk '{print $1}' | uniq`;n=`/opt/VRTS/bin/hasys -value 
$new_node_name LLTNodeId`;/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -modify 
$cvmres CVMNodeId -add $new_node_name $n

The command makes the following updates.

Before the command is executed.

[root@clus_01 ~]# /opt/VRTS/bin/hares -value cvm_clus CVMNodeId
clus_01 0

After the command is executed.

[root@clus_01 ~]# /opt/VRTS/bin/hares -value cvm_clus CVMNodeId
clus_01 0       clus_02 1

Update the ActivationMode attribute with the new node.

You have to set the ActivationMode for the newly added node only if it is set for the master node.

Set the ActivationMode of the new node to be the same as that of the master node.

Run the following command on the master node.

# master_node=<master node name>;new_node_name=<new node name>;
cvmsg_name=`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -display -attribute Group -type 
CVMCluster -localclus | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}'`;
vxfsckd_name=`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -list Group=$cvmsg_name 
Type=CFSfsckd| awk 'NR==1{print $1}'`;
vxfsckd_activation=`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -value 
$vxfsckd_name ActivationMode $master_node`;if 
[ ! -z "$vxfsckd_activation" ]; 
then echo "new activation mode is $vxfsckd_activation"; 
/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -modify $vxfsckd_name ActivationMode 
$vxfsckd_activation -sys $new_node_name; fi;

You can verify if the ActivationMode is set using the /opt/VRTS/bin/hares -value vxfsckd ActivationMode command.
```
# /opt/VRTS/bin/haconf -dump	 -makero
```
Run vxclustadm on all nodes of the cluster except the new node.
```
# vxclustadm -m vcs -t gab reinit
```
If the output of the command says that the node is not in cluster, then run the following command and then run vxclustadm again.
```
# vxclustadm -m vcs -t gab startnode
```
Verify state of the node.
```
# vxclustadm -v nodestate
```

Set the asymmetry key value for the storage_connectivity key. Run the following on the new node.

# assymetric_value=`vxtune storage_connectivity | awk 
'NR==3{print $2}'`;echo $assymetric_value | 
grep asymmetric; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; 
then vxtune storage_connectivity $asymmetry_value; fi

Copy the configuration files from the console node to the new node using the reconfig.sh script. Run the following command on the new node.
```
# /opt/VRTSnas/scripts/cluster/reconfig.sh
```

Configure the NFS group. Run the following command on the master node.

If SystemList of NFS does not include the newly added node, then update it.
Verify if the newly added node is included in the SystemList.
```
# /opt/VRTS/bin/hagrp -display NFS | grep SystemList
```
If not, then execute the following command to include the new node.
```
# sysname=<new node name>;max_pri=<total no of nodes 
including new nodes - 1>; /opt/VRTS/bin/hagrp -modify N
FS SystemList -add $sysname $max_pri
```

Update Nproc.

# /opt/VRTS/bin/haconf -makerw
# master_node=<master node name>; new_added_node=
<newly added node name>; for res in 
`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -list Type=NFS  | awk 
'{print $1}' | sort -u`; do global=
`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -display $res | 
awk '/Nproc/ {print $3}'`;if 
[ "$global" != "global" ]; then nfsdcnt=
`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -value $res Nproc 
$master_node`;/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -modify 
$res Nproc $nfsdcnt -sys $new_added_node;fi;done

For example:

master_node=clus_01; new_added_node=clus_02;for res in 
`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -list Type=NFS  | awk '{print $1}' | sort -u`; 
do global=`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -display $res | awk '/Nproc/ 
{print $3}'`;
if [ "$global" != "global" ]; then nfsdcnt=`/opt/VRTS/bin/hares 
-value $res Nproc $master_node`;/opt/VRTS/bin/hares -modify 
$res Nproc $nfsdcnt -sys $new_added_node;fi;done

Verify that NProc is updated correctly using:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/hares -display ssnas_nfs | grep Nproc

For example:

[root@clus_01 ~]# /opt/VRTS/bin/hares -display ssnas_nfs | grep Nproc
ssnas_nfs    Nproc                 clus_01    96
ssnas_nfs    Nproc                 clus_02    96

Enable resource:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/hares -modify ssnas_nfs Enabled 1

```
# /opt/VRTS/bin/haconf -dump -makero
```

Enable snas services. Run the following command on the newly added node.
```
# /opt/VRTSnas/scripts/misc/nas_services.sh enable
```

Create disk information on the new node. Run the following command on the newly added node.

# /opt/VRTSnas/scripts/storage/create_disks_info.sh
# service atd start
# /usr/bin/at -f /opt/VRTSnas/scripts/report/event_notify.sh now

Run the following command on all the nodes.

# echo "<first private nic name>" >
/opt/VRTSnas/conf/net_priv_dev.conf

For example:

# echo "priveth0" > /opt/VRTSnas/conf/net_priv_dev.conf

If you want to configure the GUI, run the following command on the new node.
```
# /opt/VRTSnas/pysnas/bin/isaconfig --host <new node name> 
--ip <new node ip|new node hostname>
```
You can now use the Veritas Access cluster.
