Here's one for ya...

Have an Sun Ultra (Enterprise) 2 running Solaris 8, all patched etc. Veritas
VM 3.2 and an Oracle 9.2 database on raw devices.

3 external disk packs, which are connected in line to the internal
controller. 2 internal disk within system unit = 5 disks total. All under
Veritas control in two volume groups. Also have an SBus Wide SCSI controller
that's not being used.

Have installed Suncluster 2.2, and would like to play using single machine
as a two node cluster. SC2.2 utils work fine - e.g., hastat, etc, but can't
seem to start clustd - it writes to /var/adm/messages - cannot assign IP
address 0.0.0.0 to hme0:1 (or something along those lines!)

Have two separate ethernet controllers (hme0 and qfe0). One is connected to
my PC, the other to my Linux machine. This system is not set up as a
gateway.

Can I set this up? Is it do-able? scinstall will let you create a one node
cluster, but I get some s-t-r-a-n-g-e stuff happening (i.e., cannot assign
IP address 0.0.0.0 to hme0:1 within /var/adm/messages) Any ideas why this
is? Has anyone got any experience of setting up single node 'clusters'?

Anyone got any ideas??

Cheers!

Hi,

I'm fairly sure that SunCluster 2 doesn't support a single node cluster, and
that is most likely why clustd is not starting, apart from the fact that you
don't have a private interconnect setup to the second node, etc.

SunCluster 3 does support single node configurations, but this is a fairly
recent 'improvement'.

Effectively to get SunCluster 2 going you need
two systems can be any sun box, however the guru's will say two
simular/identical configs, to reduce headaches.
shared disk storage
with at least 2 NICS per system, one for the private interconnect, and the
other for the 'public' network.

Even then I'm doubtful that it will be happy, as it tends to like at least 2
interconnects. Then you are going to need to have a terminal concentrator
for the console screens, I'm not sure if this is mandatory, in cluster 3 it
isn't.

Cheers Joe.
