  *** New Cluster and Cluster Node Menu ***

    Please select from any one of the following options:

        1) Create a new cluster
        2) Create just the first node of a new cluster on this machine
        3) Add this machine as a node in an existing cluster

  *** Create a New Cluster ***


    This option creates and configures a new cluster.

    You must use the Java Enterprise System (JES) installer to install 
    the Sun Cluster framework software on each machine in the new cluster 
    before you select this option.

    If the "remote configuration" option is unselected from the JES 
    installer when you install the Sun Cluster framework on any of the 
    new nodes, then you must configure either the remote shell (see 
    rsh(1)) or the secure shell (see ssh(1)) before you select this 
    option. If rsh or ssh is used, you must enable root access to all of 
    the new member nodes from this node.

    Press Control-d at any time to return to the Main Menu.


    Do you want to continue (yes/no) [yes]?  


  >>> Typical or Custom Mode <<<

    This tool supports two modes of operation, Typical mode and Custom. 
    For most clusters, you can use Typical mode. However, you might need 
    to select the Custom mode option if not all of the Typical defaults 
    can be applied to your cluster.

    For more information about the differences between Typical and Custom 
    modes, select the Help option from the menu.

    Please select from one of the following options:

        1) Typical
        2) Custom

    Option [1]:  1


  >>> Cluster Name <<<

    Each cluster has a name assigned to it. The name can be made up of 
    any characters other than whitespace. Each cluster name should be 
    unique within the namespace of your enterprise.

    What is the name of the cluster you want to establish [frontend]?  


  >>> Cluster Nodes <<<

    This Sun Cluster release supports a total of up to 16 nodes.

    Please list the names of the other nodes planned for the initial 
    cluster configuration. List one node name per line. When finished, 
    type Control-D:

    Node name:  node1
    Node name:  node2
    Node name (Control-D to finish):  ^D


    This is the complete list of nodes:

        node1
        node2

    Is it correct (yes/no) [yes]?

    The secure shell (see ssh(1)) will be used for remote execution.

    
Press Enter to continue:  


  >>> Cluster Transport Adapters and Cables <<<

    You must identify the cluster transport adapters which attach this 
    node to the private cluster interconnect.

    Select the first cluster transport adapter for "node1":

        1) bge1
        2) bge2
        3) bge3
        4) Other

    Option:  2

    Will this be a dedicated cluster transport adapter (yes/no) [yes]?  

    Searching for any unexpected network traffic on "bge2" ... done
    Verification completed. No traffic was detected over a 10 second 
    sample period.

    Select the second cluster transport adapter for "node1":

        1) bge1
        2) bge2
        3) bge3
        4) Other

    Option:  3

    Will this be a dedicated cluster transport adapter (yes/no) [yes]?  

    Searching for any unexpected network traffic on "bge3" ... done
    Verification completed. No traffic was detected over a 10 second 
    sample period.



  >>> Quorum Configuration <<<

    Every two-node cluster requires at least one quorum device. By 
    default, scinstall will select and configure a shared SCSI quorum 
    disk device for you.

    This screen allows you to disable the automatic selection and 
    configuration of a quorum device.

    The only time that you must disable this feature is when ANY of the 
    shared storage in your cluster is not qualified for use as a Sun 
    Cluster quorum device. If your storage was purchased with your 
    cluster, it is qualified. Otherwise, check with your storage vendor 
    to determine whether your storage device is supported as Sun Cluster 
    quorum device.

    If you disable automatic quorum device selection now, or if you 
    intend to use a quorum device that is not a shared SCSI disk, you 
    must instead use scsetup(1M) to manually configure quorum once both 
    nodes have joined the cluster for the first time.

    Do you want to disable automatic quorum device selection (yes/no) [no]?  yes



    Is it okay to create the new cluster (yes/no) [yes]?  

    During the cluster creation process, sccheck is run on each of the 
    new cluster nodes. If sccheck detects problems, you can either 
    interrupt the process or check the log files after the cluster has 
    been established.

    Interrupt cluster creation for sccheck errors (yes/no) [no]?  yes
