Sun Cluster Core Conflict - on SUN Java install

Hi
We had a prototype cluster that we were playing with over two nodes.
We decided to uninstall the cluster by putting node into single user mode and running scinstall -r.
Afterwards we found that the Java Availability Suite was a little messed up - maybe because the kernel/registry had not been updated - it though the cluster and agent software was uninstalled and would not let us re-install. All the executabvles from /etc/cluster/bin had been removed from the nodes.
So, On both nodes we ran the uninstall program from /var/sadm/prod/... and then selected cluster and agents to uninstall.
On the first node, this completely removed the sun cluster compoenets and then allowed us to re-install the cluster software successfully.
On the second node, for some reason, it has left behind the component "Sun Cluster Core", and will not allow us to remove it with the uninstall.
When we try to re-install we get the following:
"Conflict - incomplete version of Sun Cluster Core has been detected"
In then points us to the sun cluster upgrade guide on sun.com.
My question is - how do we 'clean up' this node and remove the sun cluster core so we can re-install the sun cluster software from scratch?
I don't quite understand how this has been left behind....
thanks in advance
S1black.

You can use prodreg directly to clean up when your de-install has gone bad.
Use:
# prodreg browse
to list the products. You may need to recurse down into the individual items. The use:
# prodreg unregister ...
to unregister and pkgrm to remove the packages manually.
That has worked for me in the past. Not sure if it is the 'official' way though!

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

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.

Normally you use AVS to replicate data from one Solaris Cluster to another. Can you just clarify whether you are replicating to another cluster or trying to do it between a single cluster's nodes? If it is the latter, then this is not something that Sun officially support (IIRC) - rather it is something that has been developed in the open source community. As such it will not be documented in the Sun main SC documentation set. Furthermore, support and or questions for it should be directed to the author of the module.

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

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.

Sun Cluster Migration

Dear Experts ,
We are going to migrate 3 (2 nodes) Sun Cluster Systems running in Sun old hardware to Sun new hardware. The old hardwares are EOL.
What are all information need to gather from Old system, in order to built a New Cluster system.
Is Sun explorer output is enough or apart from explorer output, what are all the information need gather.
Awaiting for your reply.
Regards,
R. Rajesh Kannan.

You should check if any SCSI reservations are on the disk after shutting down the cluster.
IIRC with a regular shutdown the reservations should be cleared.

Install of HA MaxDB in a Sun Cluster 3.2 environment

Hi. I am installing SAP Content Server using MaxDB in a Sun Cluster 3.2 environment. According to the SUN doc, I must install the X_server as a scalable resource/service. For a scalable resource, I have to make the disk available on both nodes of the cluster. I need to identify what are all the executables for the x_server so that I can make those mount points a NFS share. From looking at the content of previous non-clustered installs, I am thinking I need to make the directories /sapdb/data and /sapdb/program NFS to isolate the x_server components. Does anyone have experience with this setup ? I've placed a log with OSS but wanted to see if anyone else in the forum has done this before. Thanks for any input.

Hello Dan,
Please review the SAP Note No. 803452.
X_server tool is the the part of the indepentent database software installation <independent_program_path>. Using NFS you could set up the <independent_program_path> and <independent_data_path> directories as share directories.
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

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).

Instant Messaging Core works on Sun Cluster?

The question is if the instant messaging core works on Sun Cluster for High Availability?
a n s

this will be available in jes4.
If it is really needed before then, the watchdog feature in JES 3 makes it easy to write your own cluster agents. Basically all the cluster agent has to do is monitor the watchdog pid.

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
Ushas Symon

Errors after initial Sun Cluster install

- SunOS conch 5.10 Generic_118833-36 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210
- Sun Cluster 3.2
I've gone through the scinstall process using the standard answers to questions. The only exception is that when it came to quorum, I answered I would set it up later, as I want to try to the quorum server. There's no shared storage - I'm seeing if it's possible to create a cluster using IP based replication.
I'm getting these error messages every 30 seconds (looks like a result of:

There's no file system errors, and I'm at a complete loss as to why there appears to be this problem. Can anyone offer any advice?

Hi,
there are 2 issues here.
1. THe error messages that you see. I get them on my freshly installed cluster as well. What did I do? I used the JES installer and installed SC3.2 and SCGeo 3.2 - to be configured later. Ithink that it should only install the packages but not configure any part of them. It seems that it does oitherwise. To me ghcb sound like global cluster heartbeat.. I'll follow up with the developers to get this clarified.
2. Replication within a cluster and no shared storage. THis has several aspects. I, too, see more and more customer demand to have this. If you get it to work let us know. I am not sure though, why you installed the SC Geo edition to achieve this, as I do not think it well help you here.
In any case I can only recommend to set up the quorum server before proceeding, otherwise your whole cluster will panic as soon as you do a single reboot. That is per design..

Hartmut

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.
