Sun Cluster and DS6 within zones

It is possible to configure the sun cluster agent for cluster 3.1/ 3.2 in a DS6.0 zone?
It's supported?
thank you.

Sun Cluster 3.1 u4 does support Zones for failover but as a blackbox ie failover of the complete zone.
I am not sure this will interact well with DS 6 Cluster Agent.
DS 6.0 has it's own Agent (SUNW.ds6ldap delivered in the SUNWldap-directory-ha package).
This package is available with JavaES 5 as part of the Cluster Agents bundle.
Now with regards to the documentation of the DS cluster agent and its use, unfortunately the only documentation is what I posted on my blog early March : <http://blogs.sun.com/Ludo/entry/directory_server_6_ha_with>

  • Sun cluster and oracle RAC

    my client is insisting on putting oracle RAC on top of sun cluster, the thing is i don't know what is the benifit of creating such an architecture, i tries to search on the internet but couldn't understand the benifits nor the advantage, Kindly if some one has implemented such an architecture to let us know the use and the benifits

    Hi,
    Here on my environment, there is SUNCluster only for single instances. The Clusterware Oracle is complete providing high availability and load balance for your database, you don't need sun cluster with this case, no advantages gained. The only thing controlled by SUNCluster on my RAC environment is QFS (Cluster file system from SUN).
    If search on this forum, there are many discussion by this topic (suncluster X RAC) like this post Re: Sun Cluster.. Why?

  • Sun Cluster and EMC AX150 does not work

    Hi All,
    I tried to setup a Sun Cluster 3.2 (2x T2000) with an EMC AX 150 Storage. the device paths are highly instable and breaking down time and again. Tried to install Powerpath software of EMC but this time the did-devices are not recognized by Sun Cluster.
    Any help will be appriciated.
    P.S: does anybody know whether a MSA 1000 will work with Sun Cluster 3.2.
    Regards

    Looking at the EMC link on http://www.sun.com/software/cluster/osp/ it doesn't look like these storage systems have been tested by EMC and so may or may not work.
    You could try using Sun's MPxIO rather than PowerPath. MPxIO is included in Solaris for free. Again, it may or may not work. You are unlikely to get support on either configuration until EMC has done the prerequisite engineering testing to resolve the sort of issues you are currently seeing.

  • Sun Cluster and SMF

    Folks,
    Did you come across any products, who SMFied their product and how it impacts their cluster installations ?. Please provide details if you have any
    Thanks mUch
    _D                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

    Since I am currently not aware of third party products shipping an SMF service for their application (which does not mean much, ie. they could well exist) I just make two generic statements:
    1) If for that application a standard Sun Cluster agent exists, then the instructions for installing this data service would include to disable the SMF on the cluster nodes (like on pre Solaris 10 systems the legacy runlevel script would need to get deactivated).
    2) If for that application no standard Sun Cluster agent exists, then one would have the ability to leverage the new proxy SMF resource types coming with Sun Cluster 3.2. They would use the SMF manifest to start and stop the application. Note that by using this resource type you would not have any application fault monitoring.
    Details to 2) can be found at

  • Sun Cluster and Smart-UPS

    Hi all!
    I'm about to set up an asymetric two-nodes cluster. Every node is powered with Smart-UPS. I want cluster to be shut down after some time of power-loss. How can I configure it? Should I use PowerChute plus additionally or Sun Cluster provides its own solution? And, if first, is there a solution for graceful shutting down a cluster using PowerChute plus? Where can I read about this task?

  • Sun Cluster and Interconnect IP ranges

    Can someone explain why Sun Cluster requires such large subnets for its interconnects ?
    Yes, they use non-routable IPs but there are some cases where even these collide with corporate admin networks. I had one cluster I had to use that Microsoft automatic IP nework range to avoid IP conflict with corporate networks.

    You dont have to stick to default IP's or subnet . You can change to whatever IP's you need. Whatever subnet mask you need. Even change the private names.
    You can do all this during install or even after install.
    Read the cluster install doc at docs.sun.com

    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.

  • 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).

  • 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...

  • Sun Cluster 3.0 and VxVM 3.2 problems at boot

    i 've a little problem with a two node cluster (2 x 480r + 2 x 3310 with a single raid ctl.)
    Every 3310 has 3 (raid5) luns .
    I've mirrored these 3 luns with VxVM, and i've mirror also the 2 internal (o.s.) disks.
    One of the disk of the first 3310 is the quorum disk.
    Every time i boot the nodes , i read an error at "block 0" of the quorum disk and then starts a fastidious synchronization of the mirrors. (sometimes also of the os mirror..)
    Why does it happen?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Mauro.

    We did another test today and again the resource group went into a STOP_FAILED state. On this occasion, the export for the corresponding ZFS pool timed-out. We were able to successfully bring the resource group online on the desired cluster node. Subsequent failovers worked fine. There's something strange happening when the zpool is being exported (eg error correction?). Once the zpool is exported, further imports of it seem to work fine.
    When we first had the problem, we were able to manually export and import the zpools, though they did take quite some time to export/import.
    "zpool list" shows we have a total of 7 zpools.
    "zfs list" shows we have a total of 27 zfs file systems.
    Is there any specific Sun or otherwise links to any problems with Sun Cluster and ZFS?

  • Sun Cluster failed to switchover

    Hi,
    I have configured two node sun cluster and was working fine all these days.
    Since yesterday, i am unable to failover the cluster to second node.
    instead, resources are stopped and started again on the first node.
    when i use the command "scswitch -z -g oracle_failover_rg -h MFIN-SOL02" in first node I am getting these messages on the console
    Sep 28 17:53:16 MFIN-SOL01 ip: [ID 678092 kern.notice] TCP_IOC_ABORT_CONN: local = 010.010.007.120:0, remote = 000.000.000.00
    0:0, start = -2, end = 6
    Sep 28 17:53:16 MFIN-SOL01 ip: [ID 302654 kern.notice] TCP_IOC_ABORT_CONN: aborted 0 connection
    Pl. suggest me to solve this problem.

    Those messages aren't important here. I think that might be related to the fault monitor being stopped.
    As I said in the previous post, you need to diagnose this bit by bit. Try the procedure manually, i.e. stop Oracle on node 1, manually switch-over the disks and storage to node 2, mount the file system, bring up the logical address, start the database.
    I expect there is something wrong with your configuration, e.g. incorrect listener configuration.
    There is also a way of increasing the debug level for the Oracle agent. This is documented in the manuals IIRC.

  • RAW disks for Oracle 10R2 RAC NO SUN CLUSTER

    Yes you read it correctly....no Sun cluster. Then why am I on the Forum right? Well we have one Sun Cluster and another that is RAC only for testing. Between Oracle and Sun, neither accept any fault for problems with their perfectly honed products. Currently, I have multipathed fiber hba's to a Storedge 3510, and I've tried to get Oracle to use a raw lun for the ocr and voting disks. It doesn't see the disk. I've made sure they are stamped for oracle:dba, and tried oracle:oinstall. When presenting /dev/rdsk/C7t<long number>d0s6 for the ocr, I get a "can not find disk path." Does Oracle raw mean SVM raw? Should I create metadisks?

    "Between Oracle and Sun, neither accept any fault for problems with their perfectly honed products"...more specific:
    Not that the word "fault" is characterization of any liability, but a technical characterization of acting like a responsible stakeholder when you sell your product to a corporation. I've been working on the same project for a year, as an engineer. Not withstanding a huge expanse of management issues over the project, when technical gray areas have been reached, whereas our team has tried to get information to solve the issue. The area has become a big bouncing hot potato. Specifically, when Oracle has a problem reading a storage device, according to Oracle, that is a Sun issue. According to Sun, they didn't certify the software on that piece of equipment, so go talk to Oracle. In the sun cluster arena, if starting the database creates a node eviction from the cluster, good luck getting any specific team to say, that's our problem. Sun will say that Oracle writes crappy cluster verify scripts, and Oracle will say that Sun has not properly certified the device for use with their product. Man, I've seen it. The first time I said O.K. how do we avoid this in the future, the second time I said how did I let this happen again, and after more issues, money spent, hours lost, and customers, pissed --do the math.   I've even went as far as say, find me a plug and play production model for this specific environment, but good luck getting two companies to sign the specs for it...neither wants to stamp their name on the product due to the liability.  Yes your right, I should beat the account team, but as an engineer, man that's not my area, and I have other problems that I was hired to deal with.  I could go on.  What really is a slap in face is no one wants to work on these projects, if given the choice with doing a Windows deployment, because they can pop out mind bending amounts of builds why we plop along figuring out why clusterware doesn't like slice 6 of a /device/scsi_vhci/ .  Try finding good documentation on that.  ~You can deploy faster, but you can't pay more!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • Sun Cluster

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to Sun Cluster and trying to build a Sun Cluster on Solaris 10 x86 boxes. Is there a document that will walk me through step by step on configuring the Sun Cluster.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Sunil.

    Sunil,
    You can download the software and the documentation for free from the Sun web-site. Try reading the manuals. They are very detailed and contains many examples how to install the software.

  • DS6 in a zone on a Sun Cluster

    I have a sun cluster that I am trying to configure and I don't know if I am trying to do something wrong, so I thought I would ask.
    I am using Sun Cluster 3.2 on a pair of Sun T2000s with a Fiber Channel disk array attached to both nodes. I have configured the disk array to have two file systems. One for each server. I have configured two resource groups in the global zone and setup a HAStoragePlus resource for each file system. I am successfully able to fail the file systems between the two nodes. On each of the file systems I have installed a zone. The zone is managed with the resource type provided by the SUNWsczone package to start and stop the zone. The resource is in the same resource group has the HAStoragePlus resource.
    At this point I have created resource group for the zone to manage the directory server. After creating the resource group I am trying to create a resource for the directory service HA service. When I use the clresource command it complains that the resource group does not contain a logical hostname. When using the services provided by the SUNWsczone package I created a logical hostname that is being assigned to the zone in question. Is there a way to install the Directory Server HA resource into the resource group for the zone?

    Philippe,
    DS 6 Sun Cluster Agent was not tested with SC 3.2 in Zones.
    Zone support came with SC 3.2, and DS 6 Cluster Agent was built with SC 3.1, tested with SC 3.1 and 3.2 in the Global zone.
