Sun cluster 3.1 on Solaris 10 update1

Hi All,
Good day !!!
I am trying to build Sun Cluster 3.1 on Sun Solaris 10 update1 operating system.
I am using sun V240 servers. If i plumb bge1 and bge2 the second
and third interface and reboot the server system is not comming up.
it promts error saying "init" failed and it stops responding.
Also if i create /etc/defaultrouter file and put gateway system is not comming up.
Kindly let me know weather solaris 10 update1 is support for cluster or not.
Thanks,
nagaraju

Hi, I am not sure what your network setup looks like but I assume that you have configured your first port as the public network. You do not need to touch any other interface for the cluster setup manually. During the installation procedure you just give the names of your private network ports to the scinstall procedure. This will do all the setup for you.
The V240 is supported for SC3.1.

Hartmut

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.

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.

Failed to create resource - Error in Sun cluster 3.2

Hi All,
I have a 2 node cluster in place. When i trying to create a resource, i am getting following error.
Can anybody tell me why i am getting this. I have Sun Cluster 3.2 on Solaris 10.
I have created zpool called testpool.
clrs create -g test-rg -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus -p Zpools=testpool hasp-testpool-res
clrs: sun011:test011z - : no error
clrs: (C189917) VALIDATE on resource hasp-testpool-res, resource group test-rg, exited with non-zero exit status.
clrs: (C720144) Validation of resource hasp-testpool-res in resource group test-rg on node sun011:test011z failed.
clrs: (C891200) Failed to create resource "hasp-testpool-res".

Thorsten,
testpool created in one of the cluster nodes and is accessible from both the nodes in the cluster. But if it is imported in one node and will not be access from other node. If other node want to get access we need to export and import testpool in other node.
Storage LUNs allocated to testpool are accessible from all the nodes in the cluster and able import and export testpool from all the nodes in the cluster.

Sun Cluster, vx mode - "mode: enabled: cluster inactive"

Hi,
I have installed sun cluster 3.2 on solaris 9 (Solaris 9 9/05). I want to make it an active-active setup with shared veritas DGs. This setup also has vxvm 5 (Veritas-5.0_MP1_RP4.4) with rolling pack 4 and solaris has all the latest pathes updated via "updatemanager". The shared storage comes from DMX800.
In order to get VxVM in cluster mode I have installed licenses for CVM, VCS and also ORCLudlm (3.3.4.8 ) package.
The sun cluster install has all the necessary framework packages. But the VX mode refuses to be in cluster mode:
#vxdctl -c mode
mode: enabled: cluster inactive
Issue is udlm daemon "dlmmon" isnt starting.
Also I see the below errors
cacao: Error: Fail to start cacao agent. (instance default)
Error: Fail to start cacao agent. (instance default)
AND messages file on nodeA shows the below error
[ID 988885 daemon.error] libpnm error: can't connect to PNMd on nodeB
I am at my wits end on how to resolve this issue :(
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Ashish

Well it could be the problem I ran into... and I went round and round for ages trying to figure out what was wrong - before I realised my mistake.
Assuming you have VxVM/CVM licensed properly, check that ORCLudlm is installed on all nodes. Then create your rac-framework-rg and ensure you have a rac-framework-rs, rac-udlm-rs AND a rac-cvm-rs resource. Now, unless you have both of these and they can be brought enabled and brought online, then you'll have exactly the problem you are seeing.
Hope that helps,
Tim

Ooops missed the rac-udlm-rs ... Doh!

SAP 7.0 on SUN Cluster 3.2 (Solaris 10 / SPARC)

Dear All;
i'm installing a two nodes cluster (SUN Cluster 3.2 / Solaris 10 / SPARC), for a HA SAP 7.0 / Oracle 10g DataBase
SAP and Oracle softwares were successfully installed and i could successfully cluster the Oracle DB and it is tested and working fine.
for the SAP i did the following configurations
# clresource create -g sap-ci-res-grp -t SUNW.sap_ci_v2 -p SAPSID=PRD -p Ci_instance_id=01 -p Ci_services_string=SCS -p Ci_startup_script=startsap_01 -p Ci_shutdown_script=stopsap_01 -p resource_dependencies=sap-hastp-rs,ora-db-res sap-ci-scs-res

and when trying to bring the sap-ci-res-grp online # clresourcegroup online -M sap-ci-res-grp
it executes the startsap scripts successfully as following

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

Upgrading Solaris OS (9 to 10) in sun cluster 3.1 environment

Hi all ,
I have to upgrade the solaris OS 9 to 10 in Sun cluster 3.1.
Sun Cluster 3.1
data service - Netbackup 5.1
Questions:
1 .Best ways to upgrade the Solaris 9 to 10 and the Problems while upgrading the OS?
2 .Sun Trunking support in Sun Cluster 3.1?
Regards
Ramana

Hi Ramana
We had used the live upgrade for upgrading Solaris 9 to 10 and its the best method for less downtime and risk but you have to follow the proper procedure as it is not the same for normal solaris. Live upgrade with sun cluster is different . you have to take into consideration about global devices and veritas volume manager. while creating new boot environment.
Thanks/Regards

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 patch for solaris 10 x86

I have Solaris 10 6/06 installed on x4100 box with 2 node clustering using Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05. I just want to know is there any latest patches available for the OS to prevent cluster related bugs. what are they? My kernel patch is 118855-19.
any inputs needed. let me know.

Well, I would run S10 updatemanager and get the latest patches that way.

Recommendations for Multipathing software in Sun Cluster 3.2 + Solaris 10

Hi all, I'm in the process of building a 2-node cluster with the following specs:
2 x X4600
Solaris 10 x86
Sun Cluster 3.2
Shared storage provided by a EMC CX380 SAN
My question is this: what multipathing software should I use? The in-built Solaris 10 multipathing software or EMC's powerpath?
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
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X4200 Server

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.

Is Veritas- or Sun Cluster needed for RAC in a Solaris Environment

Is a Veritas- or Sun Cluster needed for RAC in a Solaris Environment?
Does anyone know, when OCFS will be available for Solaris?

You don't need Veritas Cluster File System, but until OCFS comes out for Solaris you need to think about backups. If you've not got a backup solution that can integrate with rman for an SBT device then backups become more tricky.
If you use ASM then you can take a backup to a "cluster filesystem" (although ASM is raw partitions think of it as a cluster filesystem), that both nodes can see. BUT you then need to get these to tape somehow, unless you've got NetBackup et al. that support RMAN and can backup direct to tape you're more stuck.
Too many people don't think about this. You could create an NFS mount and backup to this from the nodes.

Solaris MC and Sun Cluster?

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

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.
