Installation Issues and Bugs

Installation Guidelines

Identify requirements for all data services before you begin Solaris and Sun Cluster installation. If you do not determine these requirements, you might perform the installation process incorrectly and thereby need to completely reinstall the Solaris and Sun Cluster software.

For example, the Oracle Parallel Fail Safe/Real Application Clusters Guard option of Oracle Parallel Server/Real Application Clusters has special requirements for the hostnames/node names that you use in the cluster. You must accommodate these requirements before you install Sun Cluster software because you cannot change hostnames after you install Sun Cluster software. For more information on the special requirements for the hostnames/node names, see the Oracle Parallel Fail Safe/Real Application Clusters Guard documentation.

Setting broker_user to NULL still creates resources (4803317)

When creating a Sun ONE Message Queue resource, if smooth_shutdown is set to true, the broker_user extension property is required. The validate method does not check to see if broker_user is set and the validation will succeed even if broker_user is not set.

When setting smooth_shutdown to true be sure that broker_user is also set.
