Installing sun cluster on system based on SUNWcrnet

Hi,
I'm planning to testdrive the sun cluster software. All our systems do run the SUNWcrnet install cluster plus additionally required packages. I read that for sun cluster 3.1 at least SUNWCuser is necessary. Did anybody succeed in running sun cluster software on a system based on SUNWcrnet? If yes which are the additionally needed packages?
Thanks,
mark

I wouldn't bother. You will need to install way too many packages. SUNWcrnet by default does not even give you the showrev command. I rather install everything and then disable what I don't need.

Can I install Sun Cluster on LDOM guest domain. Is Oracle RAC a supported c

Hello,
Can I install Sun Cluster on LDOM guest domains. Is Oracle RAC on LDOM guest domains of 2 physical servers a supported configuration from oracle?
Many thanks in advance
Ushas Symon

Hello,
The motive behind using LDOm Guest domains as RAC node is to have a better control of the resource allocation, since i will be having more than one guest domains which should perform different functions. The customer wants to have ORACLE RAC alone (without sun cluster).
I will have two T5120's and one 2540 shared storage.
My plan of configuration is to have
Control&IO Domain with 8VCPU, 6GB mem
one LDOM guest domain on each physical machine with 8 VCPU's, 8GB of memory, shared n/w and disks participating as RAC node's. (Don't know yet if i will use solaris cluster or not)
one guest domain on each physical machine with 12 VCPU's, 14GB of memory, shared n/w and disks participating as BEA weblogic cluster nodes (not on solaris cluster)
One guest domain on each physical machine with 4 VCPU's, 4GB of memory,shared n/w and disks participating as apache web cluster (on solaris cluster)
Now, My question is, is it a supported configuration to have guest domains as Oracle RAC participants for 11gR2 (either with or without solaris cluster).
If I need to configure RAC nodes on solaris cluster, is it possible to have two independent clusters on LDOM , one 2 node cluster for RAC and another 2 node cluster for apache web?
Kindly advise
Many thanks in advance

Failed to install SUN cluster 3.1 8/05 on solaris 10(x64)

I install the cluster 3.1 u4 on two nodes(node1 and node2) by using "scinstall".( The two nodes have the same system) After cluster installed, i reboot node2 . Before rebooting, I have done the following operation.
# echo "etc/cluster/nodeid" >> /boot/solaris/filelist.ramdisk
# echo "etc/cluster/ccr/did_instances" >> /boot/solaris/filelist.ramdisk
# bootadm update-archive
updating /platform/i86pc/boot_archive...this may take a minute
# init 6
But node2 crashed,and failed to reboot.
I could only see several characters "GRUB" in the screen. The system even doesnot present the grub menu.
The system i used:
bash-3.00# prtdiag

The only thing I can find that is vaguely similar is where users have installed -19 of 118855 but not updated all the other patches on the system. I would try booting from the failsafe mode, if you can get to this. Then update all the patches.
If you can't I guess you are going to have to either boot from DVD and fix or just rebuild.

Install Sun Java Web System on Fedora / Registering in Netbeans

Hi,
I am trying to install Sun Java System Webserver onto Fedora 64 bit - I am not bothered about running a server locally, I have a development server for testing before deployment - however, I need to get a working install to let Netbeans recognise it as a valid target server. As far as I am aware, all Netbeans needs when deploying to a remote server is some libraries associated with that J2EE server. So first of all I tried just pulling the tree of an installed and working server off another box - however, Netbeans won't play ball.
When trying to install the server on Fedora I get an error regarding
/sun/webserver7/lib/libfreebl3.so: version `NSSRAWASH_3.12.3' not found
Any ideas, if not, any ideas how to 'trick' Netbeans into thinking the server is installed?
Regards,
Tom

Hi,
Thanks for your replies, so far I have managed to persuade netbeans to recognise the broken install by adding this block to ~/.netbeans/6.5/config/J2EE/InstalledSerers/.nbattrs
<fileobject name="instance">
<attr name="LocalServer" stringvalue="true"/>
<attr name="SSLAdminPort" stringvalue="true"/>
<attr name="configName" stringvalue="tom-desktop"/>
<attr name="displayName" stringvalue="Sun Java System Web Server 7.0"/>
<attr name="password" stringvalue="xxxxxxxx"/>
<attr name="registeredWithoutUI" stringvalue="false"/>
<attr name="url" stringvalue="[/home/twerner/webserver7]deployer:Sun:WebServer70::localhost:8989"/>
<attr name="username" stringvalue="admin"/>
</fileobject>However, it would be good to get the server actually working...
I am running Fedora 11 - 64 Bit (I like to live dangerously :-))
I am attempting to do the install using the seperate Web server installer on its own, downloaded direct from Sun's site (v7u5).
Here is the log file : [http://pastebin.com/f716536d6]
Installed nss packages:
nss.i586 3.12.3-4.fc11 @fedora
nss.x86_64 3.12.3-4.fc11 installed

Hopefully some of this info is useful,

File System Sharing using Sun Cluster 3.1

Hi,
I need help on how to setup and configure the system to share a remote file system that is created on a SAN disk (SAN LUN ) between two Sun Solaris 10 servers.
The files in the remote system should be read/writabe from both the solaris servers concurrently.
As a security policy NFS mount is not allowed. Some one suggested it can be done by using Sun Cluster 3.1 agents on both servers. Any details on how I can do this using Sun Cluster 3.1 is really appreciated.
thanks
Suresh

You could do this by installing Sun Cluster on both systems and then creating a global file system on the shared LUN. However, if there was significant write activity on both nodes, then the performance will not necessarily what you need.
What is wrong with the security of NFS? If it is set up properly I don't think this should be a problem.
The other option would be to use shared QFS, but without Sun Cluster.

Tim

How to install a SUN cluster in a non-global zone?

How do I install a SUN cluster in a non-global zone? If it is the same as installing SUN Cluster in the global zone, then how do I access the cdrom from a non-global zone to the global zone?
Please point me to some docs or urls if there are any. Thanks in advance!

You don't really install the cluster software on zones. You have to set up a zone cluster once you have configured the Global Zone cluster (or in other words, clustered the physical systems + OS).

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..

Didadm: unable to determine hostname. error on Sun cluster 4.0 - Solaris11

Trying to install Sun Cluster 4.0 on Sun Solaris 11 (x86-64).
iscs sharedi Quorum Disk are available in /dev/rdsk/ .. ran
devfsadm
cldevice populate
But don't see DID devices getting populated in /dev/did.
Also when scdidadm -L is issued getting the following error. Has any seen the same error ??
- didadm: unable to determine hostname.
Found in cluster 3.2 there was a Bug 6380956: didadm should exit with error message if it cannot determine the hostname
The sun cluster command didadm, didadm -l in particular, requires the hostname to function correctly. It uses the standard C library function gethostname to achieve this.
Early in the cluster boot, prior to the service svc:/system/identity:node coming online, gethostname() returns an empty string. This breaks didadm.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get past this issue with shared quorum disk DID.

Let's step back a bit. First, what hardware are you installing on? Is it a supported platform or is it some guest VM? (That might contribute to the problems).
Next, after you installed Solaris 11, did the system boot cleanly and all the services come up? (svcs -x). If it did boot cleanly, what did 'uname -n' return? Do commands like 'getent hosts <your_hostname>' work? If there are problems here, Solaris Cluster won't be able to get round them.
If the Solaris install was clean, what were the results of the above host name commands after OSC was installed? Do the hostnames still resolve? If not, you need to look at why that is happening first.

Tim

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

Configure iws on Sun cluster???

I have installed sun cluster 3.1.On top of it I need to install iws(sunone web server).Does anyone have document pertaining to it?
I tried docs.sun.com , the document there sound greek or latin to me
Cheers

Just to get you started:
3) create the failover RG to hold the shared address.
#scrgadm -a -g sa-rg (unique arbitrary RG name) -h prod-node1,prod-node2 (comma seperated list of nades that can host this RG, in the order you want it to fail over)
again - #scrgadm -a -g sa-rg -h prod-node1,prod-node2
4) add the network resource to the failover RG.
# scrgadm -a -S (telling the cluster this is going to be a scalable resource, if it were failover you would use -L) -g sa-rg (the group we created in step #3) -l web-server (-l is for the hostname of the logical host. This name (web-server) needs to be specified in the /etc/hosts file on each node of the cluster. Even if a nodfe is not going to host the RG, it has to know about the LH (logical hosts) hostname!)
again - #scrgadm -a -S -g sa-rg -l web-server
5) create the scalable resource group that will run on all nodes.
#scrgadm -a -g web-rg -y Maximum_primaries=2 -y Desired_primaries=2 -y RG_dependencies=sa-rg
-y is an extension property. Most resources use standard properties, other "can" use extension properties, still others "must" have extension properties defined. Maximum_primaries says how many nodes you want instance to run on at the most. Desired_primaries is how many instances you want to run at the same time. For an eight node cluster, running other DS's you might say, Maximum_primaries=8 Desired_primaries=6 Which means an instance could run on any node in the cluste, but you want to try to make sure there are nodes available for your other resource so you only want to run 6 instance at any given time, leaving the other two nodes to run your other DS's.
You could say Max=8 Desired=8 it's a matter of choice.
6) create a storage resource to be used by the app. This tells the app where to go to find the software it needs to run or process.
-a=add,-g=in the group,-j=resource name, needs to be unique and is arbitrary, -t resource type installed in pkg format earlier, and registered, -x= resource type extension property (a -y extension property could be used for a RG property or a RT property) -x is only for a RT property. /global/web is defined in the /etc/vfstab file with the mount options field specifying global,logging (at least global, maybe logging) (note you do not specify the DG, just mounts from storage supplied by the DG, because multiple RG's may use storage from the same DG)
#scrgadm -a -g web-rg -j web-stor -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus (HAStoragePlus provides support only for global devices and file systems) -x Affinityon=false -x FileSystemMountPoints=/global/web
7) create the app resource in the scalable RG.
-a=add, -j new resource -g (in the group) web-rg (created in step #5) using the type -t SUNW.apache (defined in step #2, remember the pkg installed was SUNWscapc, SUNW.apache is a made up name we are using to use apache for possibly multiple resource groups. Each -j (resource name must be unique, and only used once) but each -t (resource type, allthough having a unique name from other RT's can be used over and over again in different resources of different RG's.) Bin_dir (self explanitory, where to go to get the binaries) Network_Resouces_Used=web-server (created in step #5, again is the hostname in the /etc/vfstab for the logical host, the name the clients are going to use to get to the resource.) Resource_Dependencies=web-stor (created in step #6) saying that apache-res depends on web-stor, so if web-stor is not online, don't bother trying to start apache because the binaries won't be there. They are supplied by the storage being online and /global/web being mounted up.
#scrgadm -a -j apache-res -g web-rg -t SUNW.apache -x Bin_dir=/usr/apache/bin -y Scalable=True -y Network_Resources_Used=web-server -y Resource_dependencies=web-stor
8) switch the failover group to activate it.
#scswitch -z -g sa-rg
9) switch the scalable RG to activate it.
#scswitch -z -g web-rg
10) make sure everything got started.
#scstat -g
11) connect to the newly, cluster started service.

Migrating a Sun Cluster Running Oracle to New Hardware

Has anyone attempted this? Essentially we are moving a Sun Cluster from one location to hardware at another location while maintaining the same node names. From what I can tell, I need to (on an install lan):
1) Load the OS
2) Configure the IPs
3) Install Sun Cluster
4) Install Oracle Parallel Server/RAC
5) Restore the data on a per node basis
6) Restore the shared data
7) Adjust, tweak, and run
Are there any pitfalls or suggestions on the approach? The shop is relatively new to clustering much less oracle clustering and the original cluster was installed by admins gone bye.

I would say that Apple should be able to update your 36-months maintenance agreement with a OSXS 10.4 serial number.
As far as I know, the structure of 10.3 and 10.4 serial numbers is different (wasn't the case between 10.2 and 10.3) so I'm short of a technical answer here.
Maybe you could try :
/System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber xxxx-xxx-xxx-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
in a Terminal window on the server. It's theorically the same as using Server Admin but maybe this could help.

Deploy HA Zones with Sun Cluster

Hi
I have 2 physical Sol 10 Servers with a storedge array for the shared storage.
I have installed Sun Cluster 3.3 on both nodes and sorted the quorum and shared drive using a zfs file system for a mount point
Next i have installed a non global zone on 1 node using the zone path on the shared filesystem
When i switch the shared file system the zone is not instaalled on the 2nd node.
So when i try to install the zone on the 2nd node
i get a Rootpath is already mounted on this filesystem
Does anyone know how to setup a Sun Cluster with HA Zones please.

The option to forcibly attach a zone got added to zoneadm with a Solarus 10 Update release. With that option the procedure to configure and install a zone for HA Container use can be:
The assumption is there is already a RG configured with a HASP resource managing the zpool for the zone rootpath:
a) Swithch the RG online on node A
b) Configure (zonecfg) and install (zoneadm) the zone on node A on shared storage
c) boot the zone and go through interactive sysidcfg within "zlogic -C zonename"
d) Switch the RG hosting the HASP resource for the pool to node B
e) Configure (zonecfg) the zone on node B.
f) "Install" the zone by forcibly attaching it: zoneadm -z <zonename> attach -F
The user can then test if the zone boots on node B, halt it and proceed with the sczbt resource registration as described within http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18728_01/html/821-2677/index.html.

Sun cluster Node ID Order

I installed Sun cluster 3.1 and it all seemed successful. However, the node ID and the private hostnames seemed twisted. "comdb1" has the node ID of 2 and "comdb2" has the node ID of 1. I installed the software from "comdb1", so it should have used that as node 1, right? I pasted below some info from 'scconf -p'
Cluster node name: comdb1
Node ID: 2
Node enabled: yes
Node private hostname: clusternode2-priv
Node quorum vote count: 1
Node reservation key: 0x4472697D00000002
Node transport adapters: ce4 ce1
Cluster node name: comdb2
Node ID: 1
Node enabled: yes
Node private hostname: clusternode1-priv
Node quorum vote count: 1
Node reservation key: 0x4472697D00000001
Node transport adapters: ce4 ce1
Thank you in advance.

Consequently, when installing Oracle 10g RAC, the database name "db1" is created on node2 and "db2" is created on node1 since it relies on the private node name and the node ID. Otherwise I wouldn't bother with how the cluster software names its node ID.
Thanks again,
Luke

Invalid node name in Sun Cluster 3.1 installation

Dear all,
I need your advice in Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 installation.
My colleague was installing Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 on 2 servers Sun Netra 440 that given hostname 01-in-01 and 01-in-02. But when he want to configuring the cluster, the problem occured.
The error message is:
running scinstall: invalid node name
And when we changed the host name to in-01 and in-02, the cluster can be configured well.
Why did this problem happened?
Is it related with the given hostname that using numeric in the beginning? If yes, can you give the documentation that state about that?
Or maybe you have another explanation?
Thank you for your help.
regards,
Henry

A bug is being logged against this. (though obviously you could manually fix the shell script yourself if you were in a hurry).
The problem partly stems from the restriction on hostnames being relaxed by RFC 1123 which relaxed RFC 952's limitation of the first character to only alpha characters.). See man hosts for more info. I guess our code didn't catch up :-)
