Sun Cluster Data Service for DHCP Guide for Solaris OS

Sun Cluster HA for DHCP Overview

Solaris DHCP provides dynamic TCP/IP configuration to a DHCP client. The Sun Cluster HA for DHCP data service uses the DHCP software that is bundled with Solaris 8/9. For further information on DHCP refer to the dhcp(4)man page.

The Sun Cluster HA for DHCP data service provides a mechanism for orderly startup and shutdown, fault monitoring and automatic failover of the DHCP service.

Note –

If you are upgrading the DHCP agent with this version on a SC.3.1 cluster you must reconfigure the DHCP resource, due to changes in the agent.
