Solaris

Hi,

I need some help, since I am new to cluster.

I am handling a site where I have look after two SUN E250 server.
I have been asked to configure Active-Active Clustering on these servers.

I would like to know how to configure both the servers for clustering.

Below are the things which I beleive is required to have clustering -

A disk array
A fiber channel and Fiber switch
2 NICs

Do let me know if I have missed-out something.

Regards,

if you are planning to use a sun cluster you will need 1 shared storage (scsi or fc) for the global device. with sun cluster its possible to mount the global device on both sides read/writeable (sun global file system with solaris logical volume management). you will need at minimum 2 nics per node for the cluster interconnect (privat network) and at minimum 1 nic for the network. it would make sens to use 2 nics per node to reduce the single point of failure. solaris/suncluster can handle these 4 interfaces with one virual IP (IPMP, sun trafficmanager) and loadbalancing.

gP

does fc stands for fiber channel?

I need a detailed configuration steps which can help me in configuring both the system for the cluster.

Regards,

Documentation on SUN Cluster can be found at docs.sun.com

Thanks to all members for all the information.

Hi,
can someone tell me if rsh and rexec are required by SUN cluster configuration? is there a SUN documentation stating that both services are required?

thanks
