Introducing a New Node
1. Perform either of the following, as applicable:
• On the existing Solaris node(s):
(1) Log in as super user (root).
(2) To identify the new node to existing nodes in your network, mod-
ify the /etc/hosts file on each node. Each node uses its own
/etc/hosts file to recognize nodes in the network. Add the
new node information.
• On the existing Windows node(s), add the new node to the Avaya
Workgroup or physically add it to the domain (see step 1. on page 247)
for the Windows domain server to recognize (you must be logged in with
administrative privileges to perform these actions). Contact your System
Administrator or Certified Avaya support personnel for details.
2. Use vhman (text-based editor) or xvhman (GUI-based editor) to modify
the MPSHOME/common/etc/vpshosts file. This file identifies the
MPS network components, and resides on each node. The same
information should be contained across all nodes.
3. Issue the vhman command from each existing node in the network. Use
the syntax vhman -c<#> -h<hostname> -t<component> -a,
where <#> is the new component number, <hostname> is the new
node name, and <component> is the new component type (i.e. MPS,
oscar, etc.). Component type should be entered in lower case letters, and
all entries do NOT have a space between the option and the variable (for
example, vhman -c113 -hnewnode -tmps -a).
4. Issue the vhman command from the new node. Use the syntax shown
above, where <#> is an existing component number, <hostname> is an
existing node name, and <component> is an existing component type.
You must use a separate vhman command to add each existing
component/node to the vpshosts file on the new node.
5. Comment out any references to VSUPD in the
MPSHOME/common/etc/gen.cfg file only if you do not wish to
collect any application statistics from the MPS (or any other component
on the node); otherwise, uncomment this line. (See The gen.cfg File
on page 96.)
If xvhman is used, multiple steps can be accomplished from the single tool.
