Consistent configuration on all hosts

When installing a mixed cluster, make sure that you use the same configuration for the following settings in all hosts on each operating system.

  • Use the same base port as all other hosts in the cluster.

    To check the base port, see EGO_LIM_PORT in the ego.conf file on the master host.

  • Use the same cluster name as all other hosts in the cluster.

    The cluster name is displayed in the Platform Management Console and is part of the file name ego.cluster.cluster_name on the master host.

  • In addition, when you install on the Solaris host, you need to consider the following:
    • Use the same Symphony daemon communication ports as the other hosts.

      To check the Symphony daemon communication ports, see EGO_KD_PORT and EGO_PEM_PORT in the ego.conf file on the master host.

    • Use the same list of master candidate hosts as the other hosts.

      To check the list of master candidate hosts, see EGO_MASTER_LIST in the ego.conf file in the EGO configuration directory:

      For a Linux/UNIX master host, check $EGO_CONFDIR/ego.conf.

      For a Windows master host, check %EGO_CONFDIR%\ego.conf.
