IDS 5.0 and Sun-Cluster

I want to make IDS 5.0 highly available using SunCluster. I have few questions about it.
1. Can I install IDS on local disk and make it highly availbale. Sun-Cluster doc says it should be on shared disk.
2. I have an already installed IDS I want to make it highly available using Sun-Cluster, what steps I should follow to achive this.

I suppose that the answer is that it is not a simple task and it depends on the kind of cluster you want to deploy.
I suggest that you carefully read the documentation of Sun Cluster and specifically the Directory Server specific parts.
The way to do it is different with Sun Cluster 2 and Sun Cluster 3.0....
Or you can request help from Sun Professional Services...

Ludovic.

Real Application Cluster on Sun Solaris 8 and Sun Cluster 3

Hello,
we want to install Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition in combination with Oracle Real Application Cluster-Option on 2 Nodes. Every node (12-CPU-SMP-Machine) should running Sun Solaris 8 and Sun Cluster 3 Service.
Does this configuration work with ORAC? I found nowhere informations about. Is there anything I have to pay special attention for during installation?
Thank you for helping and best regards from Berlin/Germany
Michael Wuttke

Forms and report services work fine on solaris 8.
My problem is on the client side.
I have to use solaris 8 with netscape like forms clients
and I wasn't able to make it work with java plugins.
Any solution?

Storagetek 6140 - chunk size? - veritas and sun cluster tuning?

hi, we've just got a 6140 and i did some raw write and read tests -> very nice box!
current config: 16 fc-disks (300gbyte / 2gbit/sec): 1x hotspare, 15x raid5 (512kibyte chunk)
3 logical volumes: vol1: 1.7tbyte, vol2: 1.7tbyte, vol3 rest (about 450gbyte)
on 2x t2000 coolthread server (32gibyte mem each)
it seems the max write perf (from my tests) is:
512kibyte chunk / 1mibyte blocksize / 32 threads
-> 230mibyte/sec (write) transfer rate
my tests:
* chunk size: 16ki / 512ki
* threads: 1/2/4/8/16/32
* blocksize (kibyte): .5/1/2/4/8/16/32/64/128/256/512/1024/2048/4096/8192/16384
did anyone out there some other tests with other chunk size?
how about tuning veritas fs and sun cluster???
veritas fs: i've read so far about write_pref_io, write_nstream...
i guess, setting them to: write_pref_io=1048576, write_nstream=32 would be the best in this scenario, right?

Solaris MC and Sun Cluster?

Could someone tell me the relationship between Solaris MC and Sun Cluster?
Thanks!
Bill

Solaris MC is a distributed operating system for
multi-computers (i.e., clusters of nodes) that provides a
single-system image: a cluster appears to the user and applications
as a single computer running the SolarisTM operating system. Solaris
MC is built as a set of extensions to the base Solaris UNIX � system
and provides the same ABI/API as Solaris, running unmodified
applications. The components of Solaris MC are implemented in C++
through a CORBA-compliant object-oriented system with all new services
defined by the IDL definition language. Objects communicate through a
runtime system that borrows from Solaris doors and Spring
subcontracts. Solaris MC is designed for high availability: if a node
fails, the remaining nodes remain operational. Solaris MC has a
distributed caching file system with UNIX consistency semantics,
based on the Spring virtual memory and file system architecture.
Process operations are extended across the cluster, including remote
process execution and a global /proc file system. The external network
is transparently accessible from any node in the cluster.

Failover Zones / Containers with Sun Cluster Geographic Edition and AVS

Hi everyone,
Is the following solution supported/certified by Oracle/Sun? I did find some docs saying it is but cannot find concrete technical information yet...
* Two sites with a 2-node cluster in each site
* 2x Failover containers/zones that are part of the two protection groups (1x group for SAP, other group for 3rd party application)
* Sun Cluster 3.2 and Geographic Edition 3.2 with Availability Suite for SYNC/ASYNC replication over TCP/IP between the two sites
The Zones and their application need to be able to failover between the two sites.
Thanks!
Wim Olivier

Fritz,
Obviously, my colleagues and I, in the Geo Cluster group build and test Geo clusters all the time :-)
We have certainly built and tested Oracle (non-RAC) configurations on AVS. One issue you do have, unfortunately, is that of zones plus AVS (see my Blueprint for more details http://wikis.sun.com/display/BluePrints/Using+Solaris+Cluster+and+Sun+Cluster+Geographic+Edition). Consequently, you can't built the configuration you described. The alternative is to sacrifice zones for now and wait for the fixes to RG affinities (no idea on the schedule for this feature) or find another way to do this - probably hand crafted.
If you follow the OHAC pages (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/) and look at the endorsed projects you'll see that there is a Script Based Plug-in on the way (for OHACGE) that I'm writing. So, if you are interested in playing with OHACGE source or the SCXGE binaries, you might see that appear at some point. Of course, these aren't supported solutions though.

Tim

Sun cluster and WS7

Where I can find documentation about ws7 and sun cluster?
Anyone has done this with version 7.?

sun cluster shipped with sun java enterprise system 5 does support web server 7. you can get JES5 bits from

Sun Cluster.. Why?

What are the advantages of installing RAC 10.2.0.3 on a Sun Cluster.? Are there any benefits?

Oracle 10g onward, there is no such burning requirement for Sun Cluster (or any third party cluster) as far as you are using all Oracle technologies for your Oracle RAC database. You should Oracle RAC with ASM for shared storage and that would not require any third party cluster. Bear inmind that
You may need to install Sun Cluster in the following scenarios:
1) If there is applicaiton running with in the cluster along with Oracle RAC database that you want to configure for HA and Sun Cluster provide the cluster resourced (easy to use) to manage and monitor the application. THIS can be achieved with Oracle Clusterware but you will have to write your own cluster resource for that.
2) If you want to install cluster file system such as QFS then you will need to install the Sun Cluster. If this cluster is only running the Oracle RAC database then you can rely on Oracle technologies such as ASM, raw devices without installing Sun Cluster.
3) Any certification conflicts.
Any correction is welcome..

Multiple Oracle databases in Sun cluster 3.2 (without RAC setup)

There are 2 Sun SPARC (Sun Fire T2000) servers with Solaris 10 (05/09) OS and Sun Cluster 3.2 software. We need two different Oracle databases & instances (Oracle 10g R2 without RAC) for an application. The first database is for Production and need to be configured in the first node & Shared storage disk and need high availability. This database should run from the second node if the first node fails. The second database is for Quality/Test and it is prefered to be running in the Second node for better load distribution. This DB doesnt require any failover.
The shared storage is Sun SE 3510 FC and multiple LUNs can be created for different databases..
Is it possible to configure two different resource groups (one for Quality and other for Production) and make the first node primary for Production RG, and the second node primary for Quality RG and thus distributing the load on 2 servers ? If possible, what special configuration required in Sun OS and Cluster side ?
Appreciate if you can give some configuration procedures/documents for this multi-master cluster setup..

You can configure two resource groups, such as:
# clrg create -n node-a,node-b prod-rg
# clrg create -n node-b qa-rgand you configure the required resources (disk groups / file systems, logical host, oracle listener, oracle server) as described within
[http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2980?l=en&a=expand|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2980?l=en&a=expand]
Note that this is not really called a "multi-master" configuration - that has a specific meaning for a resource group (see [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/babefcja?l=en&a=view|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/babefcja?l=en&a=view] ) for details.
With Solaris Cluster all nodes part of a cluster are considered active and can host resource groups. You can have any number of resource groups running, where a subset runs one one node, another subset on other nodes. The nodelist property of the resource group defines where it can run, the first node in the list is the preferred primary.
You can even define resource group dependencies or affinities between the resource groups. Like you could define a negative affinity between qa-rg and prod-rg, such as if prod-rg needs to failover to node-b (since e.g. node-a died), it would offline qa-rg. Details for that kind of possibilities are described at [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/ch14_resources_admin-35?l=en&a=view|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/ch14_resources_admin-35?l=en&a=view].

Sun cluster failed when switching, mount /global/ I/O error .

Hi all,
I am having a problem during switching two Sun Cluster nodes.
Environment:
Two nodes with Solaris 8 (Generic_117350-27), 2 Sun D2 arrays & Vxvm 3.2 and Sun Cluster 3.0.
Porblem description:
scswitch failed , then scshutdown and boot up the both nodes. One node failed because of vxvm boot failure.
The other node is booting up normally but cannot mount /global directories. Manually mount is working fine.
# mount /global/stripe01
mount: I/O error
mount: cannot mount /dev/vx/dsk/globdg/stripe-vol01

I would check your patch levels. I seem to remember there was a linker patch that cause an issue with mounting /global/.devices/node@X

SUn CLuster 3.2 install - scinstall on x86 32 bit Solaris 5.10

Ok - I have 2 machines with 32-bit x86 SOlaris 5.10 - I installed the Sun Cluster 3.2 software but everytime I try scinstall it says rebooting other node and the other node never brings sun cluster up -
Questions:
1. The private interface does not come up on reboot - should it - and should I have an entry for cluster-priv1 in /etc/hosts
2. I know I am supposed to do a scvx -xv - I then try to enable the cluster service, but everything says disabled
I have tried this 5 times no luck - I have lots of cluster experience - and can get Oracle CRS working fine
Any thoughts

Yeahh, guys!!!
I was trying to establish a two-node cluster using VirtualBox + Solaris x86 + Sun Cluster 3.2. The node where I was running scinstall to configure my cluster environment was rebooting the other node in the end of the configuration process but it was hanging in the "Rebooting node01..." message just because it was not able to establish the cluster.
After see your comments, I changed Solaris x86 to Solaris Express Community Edition and Sun Cluster to Cluster Express and now everything is working fine!
Thanks!

In the Installation of RAC the routine will ask me which Interface I will use for RAC Interconnect and I do not know if it does not matter which Interface I choose, because I nevertheless in any case I have an SPOF.
Can anybody help??
Thank you very much

Sorry for the late reply, but the interface to pick is the clprivnet0. This load-balances over the available private interconnects under the covers and so does not represent a single point of failure.

Sun Cluster with Netapps - iSCSI quorum and network port

I am proposing Sun cluster with Netapps 3020C.
May I know
1) OS is Solaris 9. The SUN OSP says that we need to obtain an iSCSI license from Netapps. Is this the iSCSI initiator software for Solaris 9 to talk to the NAS quorum? Or do I need to purchased a 3rd party iSCSI initiator ?
2) We provide 2 network ports for the Netapps private NAS LAN. Is it a must to cater another dedicated network port for the iSCSI communication with the quorum?
3) If we need purchase a 3rd party iSCSI initiator, where can we get this? I have checked Qlogic and Cisco, they are both not suitable for my solution.
Appreciate your help

Hi,
1) OS is Solaris 9. The SUN OSP says that we need to
obtain an iSCSI license from Netapps. Is this the
iSCSI initiator software for Solaris 9 to talk to the
NAS quorum? Or do I need to purchased a 3rd party
iSCSI initiator ?Have a look at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7957/6mn8834r2?a=view
I read the "Requirements When Configuring NAS Devices as Quorum Devices"
section as this is the license for the iSCSI inititator software.
So you need to enable iSCSI on the netapps box and need to install a package from netapps (NTAPclnas) on the cluster nodes.
2) We provide 2 network ports for the Netapps
private NAS LAN. Is it a must to cater another
dedicated network port for the iSCSI communication
with the quorum?Have a look at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0580/6n30eahcc?a=view#ch4_quorum-9
I don't read such a requirement there.
3) If we need purchase a 3rd party iSCSI initiator,
where can we get this? I have checked Qlogic and
Cisco, they are both not suitable for my solution.
Appreciate your helpI don't thibk you need such a 3rd party iSCSI initiator, unless this is stated in the above docs.

Is oracle 9.2.0.8 compatible with Sun Cluster 3.3 5/11 and 3.3 3/13?

Is oracle 9.2.0.8 compatible with Sun Cluster 3.3 5/11 and 3.3 3/13?
Where can I check compatibility matrix?

I concur with Matthew. The release notes for sun cluster and oracle for solaris might tell you. oracle 9.2.0.8 is out of support on solaris and I recall needing a number of patches to get it to a fit state ... and that is without considering sun cluster. Extended support for 9.2.0.8 ended about 4 years ago ... this is not a combination I would currently be touching with a bargepole! You are best to seek on MOS.

Information about Sun Cluster 3.1 5Q4 and Storage Foundation 4.1

Hi,
I have 2 Sunfire V440 with Solaris 9 last release 9/05 with last cluster patchs.. , Qlogic HBA fibre card on a seven disks shared on a Emc Clariion cx500. I have installed and configured Sun cluster 3.1 and Veritas Storage Foundation 4.1 MP1. My problems is when i run format wcommand on each node, I see the disks in a different order and veritas SF (4.1) is also picking up the disks in a different order.
1. Storage Foundation 4.1 is compatible with Sun cluster 3.1 2005Q4?????
2. Do you have a how to or other procedure for Storage foundation 4.1 with Sun Cluster 3.1.
I'm very confuse with veritas Storage foundation
Thanks!
J-F Aubin

This combination does not work today, but it will be available later.
Since Sun and Veritas are two separate companies, it takes more
time than expected to synchronize releases. Products supported by
Sun for Sun Cluster installation undergo extensive testing, which also
takes time.

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
