Sun Cluster 3.0-3.1 With Sun StorEdge 6130 Array Manual

Preface

The Sun Cluster 3.0-3.1 With Sun StorEdge 6130 Array Manual provides procedures that are specific to a Sun StorEdge^TM 6130 or Sun StorEdge 6140 array that is placed in a Sun^TM Cluster environment.

Use this manual with any version of Sun Cluster 3.0 or 3.1 software on SPARC® based clusters and on any supported version of Sun Cluster 3.1 software on x86 based clusters. Unless otherwise noted, procedures are the same for all supported Sun Cluster 3.0 or 3.1 versions. See the Revision History for a list of changes to this manual.

Note –

In this document, the term “x86” refers to the Intel 32-bit family of microprocessor chips and compatible microprocessor chips made by AMD.

Sun Cluster software runs on two platforms, SPARC and x86. The information in this document pertains to both platforms unless otherwise specified in a special chapter, section, note, bulleted item, figure, table, or example.

This book assumes that you are performing one or more of the following tasks:

You want to replace an array component to prevent a failure.
You want to replace an array component because you have an existing failure.
You want to add (to an established cluster) or install (to a new cluster) a storage array.

Who Should Use This Book

This book is for Sun representatives who are performing the initial installation of a Sun Cluster configuration and for system administrators who are responsible for maintaining the system.

This document is intended for experienced system administrators with extensive knowledge of Sun software and hardware. Do not use this document as a planning or presales guide. You should have already determined your system requirements and purchased the appropriate equipment and software before reading this document.

How This Book Is Organized

This book contains the following chapters:

Chapter 1, Restrictions and Requirements lists limitations of your use of Sun StorEdge 6130 or Sun StorEdge 6140 storage arrays in a Sun Cluster environment.
Chapter 2, Installing and Configuring a Sun StorEdge 6130 Array discusses how to install Sun StorEdge 6130 or Sun StorEdge 6140 storage arrays and how to configure logical units on them.
Chapter 3, Maintaining a Sun StorEdge 6130 Array describes how to maintain Sun StorEdge 6130 or Sun StorEdge 6140 storage arrays in a running cluster.
