Sun Cluster 3.2 Release Notes for Solaris OS

Sun Cluster Support for Service Management Facility Services

Sun Cluster software now integrates tightly with Solaris 10 OS Service Management Facility (SMF) and enables the encapsulation of SMF-controlled applications in the Sun Cluster resource management model. Local service-level life-cycle management continues to be operated by SMF, while whole resource level cluster-wide failure-handling operations (node, storage) are carried out by Sun Cluster software.

Moving applications from a single-node Solaris 10 OS environment to a multi-node Sun Cluster environment enables increased availability while requiring minimal effort. See Enabling Solaris SMF Services to Run With Sun Cluster in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS for more information.
