Query Sun Cluster 3.2 With SNMP?

Hello,
Is there a way to gleen cluster information from SNMP without the use of Sun Management Center (SMC)? My understanding is that it can be configured to send traps to an SNMP monitoring host, but can the cluster nodes be queried in any way using something such as snmpget?
Thank you and any and all help appreciated.
Regards,
Peter

SUN Cluster 3.2 pooling SNMP

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to do SNMP pooling for SUN CLuster 3.2 via a snmp tool like snmp walk ?
What is the command to launh with snmpwalk? I need to kow how to activate the snmp pooling on the sun cluster?
What are the value to pool from the sun-cluster-mib ?

Sun Cluste 3.1 with SAN 6320 - Any Known Issues?

Hello,
We are moving to new Sun hardware with following configurations.
Solaris 8,Sun Cluster 3.1, Oracle 8.0.6.3 on two V1280 connected to Sun Stordege SAN 6320. SAN is also connected to 5 other machines including one windows 2000.
Following were the limitations which we came across during the testing phase.
1. Maximum LUN you can have on a 6320 , co-existing with SUN Cluster is 16. ( You can not have more than 16 LUNS configured on 6320..!)
2. Maximum number of CLUSTER nodes that you can have with 6320 is FOUR.
Refer:
http://docs-pdf.sun.com/816-3381/816-3381.pdf
Bug ID: 4840853
Is anybody else there, already moved/moving to any such configuration and wants to give some tips and suggestions. Please let me know.
Thanks
Sair

An update on the same..
we are having issues with SAN 6320.
SAN hangs when we use 7 nodes with Sun CLuster 3.1 simultaneously accessing the volumes. No volumes are being accessed from moer than a single node.
will update later...

SUN CLUSTER RESOURCE FOR LEGATO CLIENT (LGTO.CLNT) in Oracle database

hi everyone
I am tryinig to create a LGTO.clnt resource in oracle-rg resource group in SUN CLUSTER 3.2 with the following commands
clresource create -g resource_group_name -t LGTO.clnt \
-x clientname=virtual_hostname -x owned_paths=pathname_1,
pathname_2[,...] resource_name
I just need to know what is value of Owned_Paths variable in the above commnad?
or what PATH it is reffering to ( $ORACLE_HOME or Global devices path ...etc) ?

Hello,
The Owned_Paths parameter are the paths (or mountpoints) the legato client will be able to backup from.
To configure a legato client in the Networker console (and to be managed as a cluster client) you need to declare the in the Owned_Paths the paths you want to save.
The savesets paths can be a directory under the Owned_Paths.

Dependency between Sun Cluster 2.2 and Sun hardware ?

I am evaluating Sun Cluster 2.2 for the usage as clustering software within our project.
Can anybody say me, if there is a dependency between Sun Cluster 2.2 and Sun hardware ?
Can I use Sun Cluster 2.2 with other hardware platforms running Sun Solaris 7 and Veritas Volume Manager ?

I have had this discussion with fellow cluster admins, and we think a port of cluster 2.2 could be done to Intel running Solaris. And here is the BUT, BUT SUN does not support anything except a SPARC based cluster. So currently there is definately a depedancy bewteen the 2.2 software and the hardware.
Hope this helps

Sun Cluster 3.x connecting to SE3510 via Network Fibre Switch

Sun Cluster 3.x connecting to SE3510 via Network Fibre Switch
Hi,
Currently the customer have 3 nodes clusters that are connected to the SE3510 via to the Sun StorEdge[TM] Network Fibre Channel Switch(SAN_Box Manager) and running SUN Cluster 3.X with Disk-Set.The customer want to decommised the system but want to access the 3510 data on the NEW system.
Initially, I remove one of the HBA card from one the cluster nodes and insert it into the NEW System and is able to detect the 2 LUNS from the SE3150 but not able to mount the file system.After some checking, I decided follow the steps from SunSolve Info ID:85842 as show below:
1.Turn off all resources groups
2.Turn off all device groups
3.Disable all configured resources
4.remove all resources
5.remove all resources groups
6.metaset �s < setname> -C purge
7.boot to non cluster node, boot �sx
8.Remove all the reservations from the shared disks
9.Shutdown all the system
Now, I am not able to see the two luns from the NEW system from the format command.cfgadm �al shows as below:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
C4 fc-fabric connected configured
Unknown
1.Is it possible to get back the data and mount back accordingly?
2.Any configuration need to done on the SE3150 or the SAN_Manager?

First, you will probably need to change the LUN masking on the SE3510 and probably the zoning on the switches to make the LUN available to another system. You'll have to check the manual for this as I don't have these commands committed to memory!
Once you can see the LUNs on the new machine, you will need to re-create the metaset using the commands that you used to create it on the Sun Cluster. As long as the partitioning hasn't changed from the default, you should get your data back intact. I assume you have a backup if things go wrong?!

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.

Upgrade from Solaris 8 SPARC with Sun cluster 3.1u3 to Solaris 10 SPARC

Dear All,
We are planning an upgrade of the OS from Solaris 8 SPARC to Solaris 10 SPARC on a two-node active-standby clustered system.
The current major software we have on the Solaris 8 system are:
1: Sun Cluster 3.1u3
2: Oracle 9i 9.2.0.8
3: Veritas File System Vxfs v4.0
4: Sun Solaris 8 2/04 SPARC
Any pointers as to what sequence and how the upgrade should be done?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ray

yes I know it can be quite complicated and complex, but Sun provided us with a detailed documentation, at least in our case Solaris 9 to 10 it was very helpful.

Bizzare Disk reservation probelm with sun cluster 3.2 - solaris 10 X 4600

We have a 4 node X4600 sun cluster with shared AMS500 storage. There over 30 LUN's presented to the cluster.
When any of the two higher nodes ( ie node id 2 and node is 3 ) are booted, their keys are not added to 4 out of 30 LUNS. These 4 LUNs show up as drive type unknown in format. I've noticed that the only thing common with these LUN's is that their size is bigger than 1TB
To resolve this I simply scrub the keys, run sgdevs than they showup as normal in format and all nodes keys are present on the LUNS.
Has anybody come across this behaviour.
Commands used to resolve problem
1. check keys #/usr/cluster/lib/sc/scsi -c inkeys -d devicename
2. scrub keys #/usr/cluster/lib/sc/scsi -c scrub -d devicename
3. #sgdevs
4. check keys #/usr/cluster/lib/sc/scsi -c inkeys -d devicename
all node's keys are now present on the lun

Hi,
according to http://www.sun.com/software/cluster/osp/emc_clarion_interop.xml you can use both.
So at the end it all boils down to
- cost: Solaris multipathing is free, as it is bundled
- support: Sun can offer better support for the Sun software
You can try to browse this forum to see what others have experienced with Powerpath. From a pure "use as much integrated software as possible" I would go with the Solaris drivers.

Sun Cluster 3.3 Mirror 2 SAN storages (storagetek) with SVM

Hello all,
I would like to know if you have any best practice for mirroring two storage systems with svm on sun cluster without corrupting/loosing data from the storages.
I currently have enabled the multipath on the fc (stmsboot) after that configure the cluster and created the SVM mirror with the did devices.
I have some issues that i wan to know if there's gonna be any problem.
a) 4 quorum votes. As i have two (2) nodes and 2 storages that i need to know which is up i have 4 votes, so in order the cluster to start needs 3 votes. Is there any solution on this like cldevice combine ?
b) The mirror is on SVM level so when a failover happens the metasets go to the other node. Is there any change to start the mirror from the second SAN insteand of the first and have any kind of corruption? Is there someway to better protect the storage ?
c) The storagetek has option for snapshots, is there a good way of using this feature or not?
d) Is there any problem by failling over global filesystems (global option in mount)? The only thing that may write in this filesystem is the application itself that belongs in the same resource group, so when it will need to fail over it will stop all the proccesses accessing this filesystem and it would be ok to unmount it.
Best regards to all of you,
PiT

Thank you very much for your answers Tim, they are really very helpfull, i only have some comments on them to be fully answered.
a) Its all answered to me. I thing that i will add the vote from only one storage and if the storage goes down, i will tell the customer to check the quorum status and add the second storage as QD. The quorum server is not a bad idea, but if the network is down for some reason i thing that bad thing will happen so i dont wont to relly on that.
b) I think you are clear enough.
c) I thing you are clear enough! (just as i thought this would happen for the snapshots....)
d) Finally, if this filesystem is in a metadisk that is been started from the first node and the second node is proxing to the first node for the metaset disks, is there any change to lock the filesystem/ metaset group and don't be able to take it?
Thanks in advance,
Pit
(I will also look the document you mention, a lot of thanks)

Sun cluster with netapps filers

Has any one running sun cluster 3 with netapps filers. We would primary running oracle databases but would be running some apps servers as well.
There does appear to be some issues in rgard to the fact that NFS file locking is not the same as on a standard filesystem.
Also I can see how the logical host would be setup to mount a NFS filesystem instead of say mounting a filesystem that is using volume maanager

Today, only Oracle RAC is supported under Sun Cluster 3.1
using NetApp filers as shared storage. RAC has a builtin
distributed lock manager to arbitrate access to the shared
files. If you want to use your own application, then it needs
a lock manager or you can wait for a later Sun Cluster release.

SAP Netweaver 7.0 Web Dispatcher HA Setup with Sun Cluster 3.2

Hi,
How to HA SAP web dispatcher, which is not mentioned in the guide 'Sun Cluster Data Service for SAP Web Application Server Guide for Solaris OS'.
Since I do not want to install central instance within the cluster, should I install two standalone web dispatcers within the two nodes, and then HA it? Or maybe just install it on the shared storage with CFS once?
And specifically, what kind of resource type should I use for it? SUNW.sapwebas?
Thanks in advance,
Stephen

Hi all.
I am having a similar issue with a Sun Cluster 3.2 and SAP 7.0
Scenrio:
Central Instance (not incluster) : Started on one node
Dialog Instance (not in cluster): Started on the other node
When I create the resource for SUNW.sap_as like
clrs create --g sap-rg -t SUNW.sap_as .....etc etc
in the /var/adm/messages I got lots of WAITING FOR DISPACHER TO COME UP....
Then after timeout it gives up.
Any clue? What does is try to connect or waiting for? I hve notest that it's something before the startup script....
TIA

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.
Regards,
Tim

Any experience with NFS failover in Sun Cluster?

Hello,
I am planning to install dual-node Sun Cluster for NFS failover configuration. The SAN storage is shared between nodes via Fibre Channel. The NFS shares will be manually assigned to nodes and should fail over / takeback between nodes.
Is this setup tested well? How the NFS clients survive the failover (without "stale NFS handle" errrors)? Does it work smoothly for Solaris,Linux,FreeBSD clients?
Please share your experience.
TIA,
-- Leon

My 3 year old linux installtion on my laptop, which is my NFS client most of the time uses udp as default (kernel 2.4.19).
Anyway the key is that the NFS client, or better, the RPC implementation on the client is intelligent enough to detect a failed TCP connection and tries to reestablish it with the same IP address. Now once the cluster has failed over the logical IP the reconnect will be successful and NFS traffic continues as if nothing bad had happened. This only(!) works if the NFS mount was done with the "hard" option. Only this makes the client retry the connection.
Other "dumb" TCP based applications might not retry and thus would need manual intervention.
Regarding UFS or PxFS, it does not make a difference. NFS does not know the difference. It shares a mount point.
Hope that helped.
