I have been tasked with creating a clustered file system for two systems running Sol 10 u8. These systems have 3 zones each and the global zone has ZFS on the boot disk. We currently have one system sharing an NFS mount to both of these systems.
The root zfs pool status (on the global zone) looks like this:
The zonelist looks like this:
Maybe I'm not looking in the right place in the Install Guide but I don't see anything about installing the software on a system that already has ZFS on the root pool.
Does anyone have experience installing/configuring clusters that can guide me on installing the cluster on the root ZFS pool?
Thanks in Advance!

I would not recommend using zfs on root when your going to cluster the machines, as it makes the setup more complicated.
When you cluster two machines, you need a slice called /globaldevices, this slice can not be a zfs filesystem and has to be ufs.
But its supported to have zfs root pool on the newest version of Sun Cluster, so you can do it.
So either you have to leave space on the disks for the /globaldevices or just use ufs + disksuite on the root disks, and zfs on the data disks.
Hi,
I'm trying to get a Flash Archive Jumpstart Running with ZFS Filesystem. For Testing I set up a VirtualBox VM with 2 Disks attached.

I'm running Solaris 10 u9. I just applied the April quarterly patch cluster. I'm trying to mirror the boot disk which is using zfs, something I've done before w/o problems prior to the patch cluster install.

Yesterday my customer told me to expect a vcs upgrade to happen in the future. He also plans to stop using HDS and move to EMC.
Am thinking how to migrate to sun cluster setup instead.
My plan as follows leave the existing vcs intact as a fallback plan.
Then install and build suncluster on... (5 Replies)
