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 by using the scsetup(1M) utility.

Note –

Procedures for the version of Sun Cluster HA for Sun Java^TM System Directory Server that uses Sun Java System Directory Server 5.0 and 5.1 are located in the Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Sun ONE Directory Server. For later versions of Sun Java System Directory Server, see the Sun Java System Directory Server product documentation.

Note –

All occurrences of “Sun One” in the names and descriptions of the data services for the Sun Java Enterprise System applications should be read as “Sun Java System.” Example: “Sun Cluster Data Service for Sun One Application Server” should read “Sun Cluster Data Service for Sun Java System Application Server.”

Note –

The Sun Cluster HA for Oracle 3.0 data service can run on Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software only when used with the following versions of the Solaris OS:

Solaris 8, 32-bit version
Solaris 8, 64-bit version
Solaris 9, 32-bit version

The Sun Cluster HA for Oracle 3.0 data service cannot run on Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software when used with the 64-bit version of Solaris 9 OS.

Memory Requirements – Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software requires extra memory beyond what is configured for a node under a normal workload. The extra memory equals 128 Mbytes plus ten percent of the memory configured for a nonclustered system. 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 8/05 software supports the Remote Shared Memory Application Programming Interface (RSMAPI) on RSM-capable interconnects, such as PCI-SCI.

Sun Cluster Security Hardening

Sun Cluster Security Hardening uses the Solaris operating system hardening techniques recommended by the Sun BluePrints^TM 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://www.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.
