This section describes the supported software and memory requirements for Sun Cluster 3.1 software.
Operating environment and patches – Supported Solaris versions and patches are available at the following URL:
For more details, see Patches and Required Firmware Levels.
Volume managers
On Solaris 8 – Solstice DiskSuiteTM 4.2.1 and VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 and 3.5.
On Solaris 9 – Solaris Volume Manager and VERITAS Volume Manager 3.5.
If you are upgrading from VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) 3.2 to 3.5, the Cluster Volume Manger (CVM) feature will not be available until you install the CVM license key for version 3.5. In VxVM 3.5, the CVM license key for version 3.2 does not enable CVM and must be upgraded to the CVM license key for version 3.5.
File systems
On Solaris 8 – Solaris UFS and VERITAS File System 3.4 and 3.5.
On Solaris 9 – Solaris UFS and VERITAS File System 3.5.
Data services (agents) – Contact your Sun sales representative for the complete list of supported data services and application versions. Specify the resource type names when you install the data services by using the scinstall(1M) utility. You should also specify the resource type names when you register the resource types associated with the data service using the scsetup(1M) utility.
Procedures for the version of Sun Cluster HA for Sun ONE Directory Server that uses iPlanet Directory Server 5.0 and 5.1 (plus Netscape HTTP, versions 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, and 4.16) are located in the Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Sun ONE Directory Server. For later versions of iPlanet Directory Server (now known as Sun ONE Directory Server), see the Sun ONE Directory Server product documentation.

Memory Requirements – Sun Cluster 3.1 software requires extra memory beyond what is configured for a node under a normal workload. The extra memory equals 128 Mbytes plus ten percent. For example, if a standalone node normally requires 1 Gbyte of memory, you need an extra 256 Mbytes to meet memory requirements.
RSMAPI – Sun Cluster 3.1 software supports the Remote Shared Memory Application Programming Interface (RSMAPI) on RSM-capable interconnects, such as PCI-SCI.
Sun Cluster Security Hardening uses the Solaris Operating Environment hardening techniques recommended by the Sun BluePrintsTM program to achieve basic security hardening for clusters. The Solaris Security Toolkit automates the implementation of Sun Cluster Security Hardening.
The Sun Cluster Security Hardening documentation is available at http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0203/817–1079.pdf. You can also access the article from http://wwws.sun.com/software/security/blueprints. From this URL, scroll down to the Architecture heading to locate the article “Securing the Sun Cluster 3.x Software.” The documentation describes how to secure Sun Cluster 3.1 deployments in a Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 environment. The description includes the use of the Solaris Security Toolkit and other best-practice security techniques recommended by Sun security experts.
