Sun Cluster HA for Solaris Containers

The Sun Cluster HA for Solaris Containers data service enables applications to run in non-global zones under the control of Sun Cluster.

To enable applications to run in non-global zones under the control of Sun Cluster, Sun Cluster HA for Solaris Containers performs the following operations:

• The orderly booting and shutdown of a zone, enabling a non-global zone to run in failover configuration or a multiple-masters configuration

• The orderly startup, shutdown, and fault monitoring of an application within the zone by scripts or commands

• The orderly startup, shutdown, and fault monitoring of a Solaris Service Management Facility (SMF) service within the zone

If you plan to use this data service, you must write your own scripts or SMF manifests for applications that are to run in non-global zones.

The following restrictions apply to the Sun Cluster HA for Solaris Containers data service:

• The data service does not enable Sun Cluster software to run in a non-global zone.

• The data service does not enable existing data services to run in a non-global zone.

• The data service does not enable failover between non-global zones on the same node.
