This section provides information related to new features, functionality, and supported products in the Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 software.
New clsetup Wizard to Configure the Oracle PeopleSoft Application Server Data Service
New clsetup Wizard to Configure the Oracle WebLogic Server Data Service
New Data Service for Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Process Scheduler
Support for Sun ZFS Storage Appliance Data Replication With Geographic Edition
You can now install and configure the Oracle 12c software to work with the HA for Oracle data service. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is not supported with Oracle 12c software. See the Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle Guide for more information.
You can also install and configure Oracle 12c to work with Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) software, in addition to 10g release 2 and 11g. These resource types enable Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Solaris Cluster software to interoperate. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is not supported on Oracle 12c with Oracle RAC software. See How to Enable Oracle Solaris Cluster and Oracle Clusterware 10g Release 2, 11g, or 12c to Interoperate in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle Real Application Clusters Guide or Creating Resources for Interoperation With Oracle 10g, 11g, or 12c by Using Oracle Solaris Cluster Maintenance Commands in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle Real Application Clusters Guide.
Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) and Veritas File System (VxFS) delivered as part of Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 are now qualified for use in an Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 configuration. Version 5.1 requires SP1 RP3. For updated information, check the My Oracle Support Oracle Solaris Cluster Information Center at https://support.oracle.com/rs?type=doc&id=1560789.2. Follow procedures published in the Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 5/11 documentation library at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18728_01/index.html.
The clsetup utility now enables you to create a zone cluster and configure network addresses, storage devices, a file system, or a ZFS storage pool. For details, see Configuring a Zone Cluster in Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide.
You can now specify per-node resource dependencies, which might differ for each per-node instance of a resource. Per-node instances are instances of the resource that are online simultaneously (in a multi-mastered resource group) or disjointedly in time (in a failover resource group) on different nodes. For details, see How to Change Resource Dependency Properties in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide.
Kernel cage memory DR (the removal of system boards containing system memory) is now supported. Support is currently limited to Oracle's SPARC Enterprise M8000 and M9000 series servers. For details, see Kernel Cage DR Recovery in Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 Hardware Administration Manual.
New facilities were added to assist in running application programs as nonroot users, securely storing and retrieving private strings such as passwords, and performing additional runtime checking of ownership and permissions for Resource Group Manager (RGM) resource type callback methods. For details, see Chapter 13, Security for Data Services, in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Developer’s Guide.
The following enhancements provide quicker detection and response to storage failures:
A new extension property, RebootOnFailure, is added to the SUNW.HAStoragePlus, SUNW.ScalDeviceGroup, and SUNW.ScalMountPoint resource types. This property specifies whether to reboot the local system when a resource of these types detects a failure on the local node and the same resource might be able to come online on some other primary or potential primary node.
A new extension property, IOTimeout, is added to the SUNW.ScalDeviceGroup resource type. This property defines the length of time at which an I/O probe is considered to have failed, similar to the IOTimeout property currently available in the SUNW.ScalMountPoint and SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource types.
The Ping_timeout property for disk path monitoring accepts higher and lower timeout values.
See the following man pages for details:
The clsetup utility now enables you to configure the HA for Oracle PeopleSoft Application Server data services. For details, see Chapter 2, Installing and Configuring the HA for PeopleSoft Application Server, in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Guide.
The clsetup utility now enables you to configure the HA for Oracle WebLogic Server data service. For details, see Chapter 1, Installing and Configuring Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Oracle WebLogic Server, in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle WebLogic Server Guide.
A new data service for Oracle External Proxy software is now available. For details, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle External Proxy Guide.
A new data service for SAP NetWeaver software is now available. For details, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for SAP NetWeaver Guide.
A new data service for the Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Process Scheduler is now available for certain batch processing and workload balancing. For details, see Chapter 3, Installing and Configuring the HA for PeopleSoft Process Scheduler, in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Guide.
A new data service for Oracle Web Tier software is now available. For details, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Oracle Web Tier Guide.
Support is added to use Sun ZFS Storage Appliance data replication in an Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition configuration. For more information, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition Remote Replication Guide for Sun ZFS Storage Appliance.
