Does SUN CLUSTER WARE support ASM?

Does SUN CLUSTER WARE support ASM?
Where can I find the answer ? Thanks.

I am not an expert but here it goes. Sun Cluster is used for clustering machines processes but NOT really used for clustering disks. This has to be done through third party software like Veritas. BUT why Sun Cluster the machines when you can cluster via Oracle CRS? CRS then uses ASM for clustered disks. Bingo you save money on Sun Cluster Software and Veritas software.
One day Oracle will rule the world!

  • SUN Cluster I18N support

    Can anybody tell me in what level does SUN cluster support I18N? I know it supports localized GUI and messages. But, does it accept localized resource names, resource group names, resource properties etc.?

    Here is the only answer I've had so far from my colleagues:
    -->
    As far as I know, resource/RG names, property names,
    and property values have to be ascii strings (though
    possibly the values could be multibyte strings as
    noted in another email). I'm not sure if the
    property names too could be multibyte. I'm not sure how
    the character set gets rendered when someone runs
    an administrative command or gui.
    <--
    I hope that is some help,
    Tim

  • Does sun Cluster 3.0/3.1 HA Oracle agent support to use Oracle spfile?

    When defining the resource, the 'parameter_file' properties is usually sets to the Oracle pfile. Is it possible to use Oracle spfile?
    It is said if leaving 'parameter_file' NULL, it will be default to Oracle default. Suppose leaving it NULL and with Oracle spfile created in default location, will it use the spfile?

    You did not specify which Sun Cluster version and Oracle version you are running.
    Within SC 3.1 my understanding is that beginning with Oracle 9i it is possible to use the spfile.
    If you leave the "parameter_file" property empty (NULL) then the default behaviour for 9i should work:
    search under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs in the order:
    1. spfile$(ORACLE_SID}.ora
    2. spfile.ora
    3. init${ORACLE_SID}.ora

  • Does Sun Studio C++ support Dirext9 SDK?

    Hi, Im doing a school project developing a 2D game using DirectX 9. I knew that Sun Studio C++ is free to use. But I not sure whether it can support DirectX9 SDK. Hopefully, some of you have the answer and reply it back to me. I wll greatly appreciate it. Thx.

    Alright, thx so much...maybe i will just stick to Visual Studio 2003..

  • Does Sun Storage A1000 support SCSI3, Can I install RAC on it?

    Sun 280R Server, 2 node.
    Storage A1000.
    OS: 9
    Cluster: Veritas DBAC for Oracle RAC
    Install Oracle 9201 RAC.

    I have not worked directly with that specific hardware but I guess you can find the answer in the matrix certification:

  • Does Sun Cluster 2.2 do...?

    Not sure if this is possible at all but... Is there a product out there that will mirror the entire OS as well as the data on the clustered machines?
    In other words...if I update one server OS with a new application/upgrade can the mirrored server be updated as well? Essentially having the exact same machine and services running on that machine in many different places?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can use the Cluster Console software installed on the cluster administration station to do this. Just share the software CD from your sc-admin station and mount the CD on all of your clustered servers and do the upgrade at once.

  • Does Sun ONE still support AIX?

    Why couldn't I download iplanet 6.0 for AIX anymore? I only saw Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and NT version from ProductTracker.

    AIX is not currently supported.

  • Does Sun ethernet driver support .1q vlans? Q-in-Q?

    I'm pretty sure .1q is supported, but I just want to make sure.
    What about Q-in-Q encapsulation?
    Thanks,

    There is not one single ethernet driver. Some drivers support .1q, some do not. What hardware do you have?
    I don't know that Q-in-Q is supported.

    * DNS
    * NFS V3
    * Java Enterprise System 2005Q4: Application Server, Web Server, Message Queue, HADB

    Without speculating on the release date of Sun Cluster 3.x or even its feature list, I would like to understand what risk Sun would take when Sun Cluster would support ZFS as a failover filesystem? Once ZFS is part of Solaris 10, I am sure customers will want to use it in clustered environments.
    BTW: this means that even Veritas will have to do something about ZFS!!!
    If VCS is a much better option, it would be interesting to understand what features are missing from Sun Cluster to make it really competitive.
    Thanks

  • Node shutdown in sun cluster

    I have a two node cluster configured for High availability..
    My resourcegroup is online on node1..
    so the resources, logical hostname resource and my application resource are online on node1.
    when the node1 is shutdown, the resource group is failovered to node2 and is online..But when the node1 is brought back, the logical hostname is plumbed up on node1 also.. So both nodes have the logical hostname plumbed up..(from ifconfig -a output)
    which is causing the problem.
    My question is "Does sun cluster check the status of resources in the resource group on the node where my resource group is offline" . If it does, what additional configuration is required.

    This is a pretty old post and you probably have the answer by now )or have abandoned all hope), but it seems to me that what you want is to reset the resource/resource group dependencies for node1.
    If node1 is coming online under logicalhostname without all the resources coming up, you just don't have the resource dependency set up. You can do this in the SunPlex Manager GUI pretty easily. That should make it so the node doesn't get added to the logicalhostname resource group until X dependencies are met (what X stands for is entirely up to you; I didn't see the resource you want to come up first listed.)

  • Sun cluster for solaris (intel platform)

    I wonder whether sun cluster will support oracle rac under intel platform?

    I believe this is the plan. However, there is a bunch of work yet to do before
    this can be qualified and supported. Stay tuned.

  • Sun cluster + sun web 7

    hi,
    Which sun cluster version supports sun web server 7 ???
    Mihails

    If you talking about assigning the same IP for all instances (hopefully all the nodes are configured with the same IP), then you can just give that IP while configuring the http listener.
    If you want to assigning a different IP, for the same http listener, for each instance of the configuration then that's currently not possible via the administration interfaces.

  • Does oracle clusterware and oracle RAC require sun cluster

    Hi,
    I have to setup oracle RAC on solaris 10 SPARC. so is it necessary to install sun cluster 3.2, QFS file system on solaris
    I have 2 sun sparc servers with solaris 10 installed on it and shared LUN setup(SAN disk RAID 5 partitions)
    Have to have 2 node setup for RAC load balancing.
    Regards
    Prakash

    Hi Prakash,
    very interesting point:
    As per oracle clusterware documents the cluster manager support is only for windows and linux.
    In case of solaris SPARC will the cluster manager get configured ???
    The term "Cluster Manager" refers to a "cluster manager" that Oracle used in 9i times and this one was indeed only available on Linux / Windows.
    Therefore, let me, please, ask you something: Which version of Oracle RAC do you plan to use?
    Because for 9i RAC, you would need Sun or Veritas Cluster on Solaris. The answers given here that Sun Cluster would not be required assume 10g RAC or higher.
    Now, you might see other dependencies which can be resolved by Sun Cluster. I cannot comment on those.
    For the RAW setup: having RAW disks (not raw logical volumes) will be fine without Veritas and ASM on top.
    Hope that helps. Thanks,
    Markus
