This
wikipedia article on clusters has some information towards the end.
The major differences between the two are that Sun Cluster is very tightly coupled with Solaris, while VCS is not. In the same vein, Sun Cluster works at kernel-level while having a few user-level processes, while VCS works exclusively at user-level (no kernel-level integration with any of the OSes).
The drawback with Sun Cluster is that it is available only on Solaris systems, while VCS runs on multiple OSes. This might be a factor if you have multiple unix systems (HP-UX, AIX, etc) and want to have a single clustering solution.

scconf_transp_adap_qfe(1M) System Administration Commands scconf_transp_adap_qfe(1M)
NAME
scconf_transp_adap_qfe - configure the qfe transport adapter
DESCRIPTION
Note -
Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor-
mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.
You can configure qfe Ethernet adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with transport type dlpi.
The qfe Ethernet adapter connects to a transport switch or to another Ethernet adapter on a different node. In either case, the connection
is made through a transport cable.
When a transport switch is used and the endpoints of the transport cable are configured by using scconf, scinstall, or other tools, you are
asked to specify a port name on the transport switch. You can provide any port name, or accept the default, as long as the name is unique
for the switch.
The default is to set the port name to the node ID hosting the adapter at the other end of the cable.
There are no user configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type.
