Solaris

I am trying to set up a two host cluster. trouble is with the cluster transport configuration.

i'm using e1000g2 and g3 for the cluster transport. global0 and global1 are my two nodes, and I am running the scinstall from global1.

i think i should be expecting, is this:

Code:

The following connections were discovered:
global1:e1000g2  switch1  global0:e1000g2
global1:e1000g3  switch2  global0:e1000g3

but what i am actually getting, is this:

Code:

 The following connections were discovered:
global1:e1000g2  switch1  global0:e1000g2
global1:e1000g2  switch1  global0:e1000g3

I think it is because of the failure above that the cluster does not work.

I've attached the scinstall logfile. Is there any other info i need to add?

I've tried all sorts of combinations. I am using link-based IPMP on e1000g0 and g1, on both of the servers.

Is you route to the switch ok? are you able to ping? if not, fix that first

i'm not using the seperate vlans for the interconnects therefore they wont connect to the switch. i have changed it to use direct (like crossover) connect and that enables the install to move forward a step.

Are you trying to configure the cluster on virtual machines .. if yes then i can point you to the answer

yes i'm trying to install to VM's on virtualbox.

it gets stuck after the reboot of the remote node.

k .. i got the same error while i was setting up the cluster on vmware server.

1. Make sure ur guest solaris OS is 64 bit.
2. for cluster transport setup 2 seperate hostonly intefaces then it works it could different in virtual box as i 'm not very much familiar with VB.

thats true. i've just done this in my vbox. use two seperate "internal networks" for the virtual adapters (3 if you use a internal public network). cluster works fine for me with that configuration even with ipmp for the public interface.
