Using SunPlex Manager to Install Sun Cluster Software (5/02)

The following change was introduced in the Sun Cluster 3.0 5/02 update release and applies to this update and all subsequent updates to Sun Cluster 3.0 software.

Solaris Volume Manager - For Solaris 9, Solaris Volume Manager software is already installed as part of Solaris software installation. You can use SunPlex Manager to configure up to three metasets and associated metadevices, and to create and mount cluster file systems for each.

To use SunPlex Manager to install the Sun Cluster HA for NFS data service or the Sun Cluster HA for Apache scalable data service, you must also use SunPlex Manager to configure Solaris Volume Manager mirrored disksets.

The /sds partition required by SunPlex Manager must be at least 20 Mbytes to support Solaris Volume Manager.

Metaset names - The names of two of the three metaset names that SunPlex Manager creates have been changed.

• The stripe-1 metaset is now named mirror-2.

• The concat-1 metaset is now named mirror-3.

The following table lists each metaset name and cluster file system mount point created by SunPlex Manager, depending on the number of shared disks connected to the node.
