Sun Cluster Server restore

Recently one of cluster server crashed without backup. I had to reinstall all of Solaris 8 and software such as veritas volume manager and oracle, Sun Cluster 3.0. Unfortunately, it is said that if one of both cluster servers was down, I have to reinstall both machines. Is it true?
Is there anyone can give me some advices how to fix this problem properly?
Thxs

I think I am having same problem as you before. If possible, could you please give me some instructions. I am just a beginner of Sun Cluster Server. According to your sugguestion, it looks so complex that I can handle. Presently, I have installed volumn manager and oracle on the broken node. Can you instruct me what's next? The more details the better.
Thanks in advance.

Veritas volume replicator under sun cluster

Hi,
Can we use VVR under sun cluster server? We want to replicate data on sun cluster nodes to a seperate box which is not part of the sun cluster. Is there any special configuration needed?
Thanks and appreciate any response.

Don't forget you will also need to obtain a VXVM Cluster functionality license to use VXVM in a Sun cluster, which is a separate license key to the base VXVM.

Content Server on Sun Cluster

Hello.
Does anybody know, is Contenr Server can work on Sun Cluster?
I did not find any information in notes or PAM. Technically, Sun Cluster support both Apache and MaxDB.

HI,
It is supported on sun cluster. You can use Apache 2.052 and MaxDB 7.6

SUN cluster 3.1 Agent for Siebel Server

Hi All
I dont have the CD for the Sun Cluster 3.1 agent . Please suggest me a link from where i can download the agent for Sun HA For Siebel Server,
Thanks/Regards

Hi,
the agent should be part of the latest JAS release, which is SC3.1 8/05.
Mark the Java Availability Suite checkbox on
www.sun.comhttp://www.sun.com/software/swportfolio/get.jsp
and hit "Get downloads". That should lead you to the download section.

Please Help Me .... Thanks In Advance.

You can't do it with the agent directly as it stands, as far as I can tell. However, you could do it indirectly by creating a pool and binding that pool to the FX scheduler. You then create a zone and bind the zone to the pool and put the HA Oracle instance in the zone If you do that on both nodes you achieve what you want (I think). I've never tried this, but it would appear to be feasible.
i.e. your RG list would be:
node1:zone1,node2:zone2

Messaging Server on Sun Cluster

Hi,
My messaging server is Sun ONE Messaging Server version 6.1 ,Directory server version 5.2 , Sun Cluster 3.1
I install the directory server to use "ldap.ezone.com" name. And I want to configure the messaging server to use "mail.ezone.com" for Sun Cluster.
But I can not configure the messaging server to use this name.
Can you let me know how to install the messaging server and run "confugre" script to use "mail.ezone.com"
Thanks

I'm sorry, I don't see any problem with your imta.cnf, nor do I understand exactly what the problem is. All you say is, " And I want to configure the messaging server to use "mail.ezone.com" for Sun Cluster.
But I can not configure the messaging server to use this name."
What prevents you from configuring Messaging Server frm using "mail.ezone.com" as it's name?

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.

Encountered ora-29701 during Sun Cluster for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 startup (UR

Hi all,
Need some help from all out there
In our Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 (Solaris 9) configuration, my team had encountered
ora-29701 *Unable to connect to Cluster Manager*
during the startup of the Oracle RAC database instances on the Oracle RAC Server resources.
We tried the attached workaround by Oracle. This workaround works well for the 1^st time but it doesnt work anymore when the server is rebooted.
Kindly help me to check whether anyone encounter the same problem as the above and able to resolve. Thanks.

Problem statement:
ORA-29701 DURING DATABASE CREATION AFTER APPLYING 9.2.0.6 PATCHSET
*** 03/25/05 07:32 am ***
TAR:
PROBLEM:
Customer applied 9.2.0.6 patchset over 9.2.0.4 patchset.
While creating the database, customer receives following error:
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
However, if customer goes from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the problem does not occur.
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS:
It seems that the problem is with libskgxn9.so shared library.
For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the install log shows the following:
installActions2005-03-22_03-44-42PM.log:,

For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6, install log shows:
installActions2005-03-22_04-13-03PM.log:, [libcmdll.so ->%ORACLE_HOME%/lib/libskgxn9.so 64274 plats=1=>[46] langs=-554696704=>[en]] does not exist.
This means that while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5, Installer copies the libcmdll.so library into libskgxn9.so, while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6 does not.
ORACM is located in /app/oracle/ORACM which is different than ORACLE_HOME in customer's environment.
WORKAROUND:
Customer is using the following workaround:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on ioracle ipc_udp

Without speculating on the release date of Sun Cluster 3.x or even its feature list, I would like to understand what risk Sun would take when Sun Cluster would support ZFS as a failover filesystem? Once ZFS is part of Solaris 10, I am sure customers will want to use it in clustered environments.
BTW: this means that even Veritas will have to do something about ZFS!!!
If VCS is a much better option, it would be interesting to understand what features are missing from Sun Cluster to make it really competitive.
Thanks

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.

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.

Ludovic.

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

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 3.2 - Global File Systems

Sun Cluster has a Global Filesystem (GFS) that supports read-only access throughout the cluster. However, only one node has write access.
In Linux a GFS filesystem allows it to be mounted by multiple nodes for simultaneous READ/WRITE access. Shouldn't this be the same for Solaris as well..
From the documentation that I have read,
"The global file system works on the same principle as the global device feature. That is, only one node at a time is the primary and actually communicates with the underlying file system. All other nodes use normal file semantics but actually communicate with the primary node over the same cluster transport. The primary node for the file system is always the same as the primary node for the device on which it is built"
The GFS is also known as Cluster File System or Proxy File system.
Our client believes that they can have their application "scaled" and all nodes in the cluster can have the ability to write to the globally mounted file system. My belief was, the only way this can occur is when the application has failed over and then the "write" would occur from the "primary" node whom is mastering the application at that time. Any input will be greatly appreciated or clarification needed. Thanks in advance.
Ryan

Thank you very much, this helped :)
And how seamless is remounting of the block device LUN if one server dies?
Should some clustered services (FS clients such as app servers) be restarted
in case when the master node changes due to failover? Or is it truly seamless
as in a bit of latency added for duration of mounting the block device on another
node, with no fatal interruptions sent to the clients?
And, is it true that this solution is gratis, i.e. may legally be used for free
unless the customer wants support from Sun (authorized partners)? ;)

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
