x86 machines running Solaris 10 fail to come up in cluster mode due to changes made for the Solaris boot architecture project. The following error messages are displayed when the machine boots up:
Use is subject to license terms. NOTICE: Can't open /etc/cluster/nodeid NOTICE: BOOTING IN NON CLUSTER MODE NOTICE: NO PCI PROP NOTICE: NO PCI PROP Configuring devices. Hostname: pvyom1 devfsadm: minor_init failed for module /usr/lib/devfsadm/linkmod/SUNW_scmd_link.so Loading smf(5) service descriptions: 24/24 /usr/cluster/bin/scdidadm: Could not load DID instance list. Cannot open /etc/cluster/ccr/did_instances. Not booting as part of a cluster /usr/cluster/bin/scdidadm: Could not load DID instance list. Cannot open /etc/cluster/ccr/did_instances. Note: path_to_inst might not be updated. Please 'boot -r' as needed to update. |
Solution Perform these steps:
Add /etc/cluster/nodeid to /boot/solaris/filelist.ramdisk.
Enter these commands:
# bootadm update-archive # reboot -- -r |
Attempting to boot up all nodes of a 16 node cluster at the same time results in node panics and nodes hanging waiting for quorum.
This bug was caused due to incorrect configuration of the private interconnect switches. It is required to disable spanning tree for the switch ports used for the Sun Cluster private interconnects. This was not done for the switches on the 16 node cluster and hence this bug. The cluster cannot be brought online due to this bug.
In order to resolve this issue it is required to disable the spanning tree for the switch ports used for the Sun Cluster private interconnects.
Solution None.
While installing Sun Cluster localized packages, the following warning message is displayed in the Java ES installation log. Localized packages are named SUNW*scspmu. This warning message does not appear when localized components are not selected to install.
Warning: smreg is obsolete and is preserved only for compatibility with legacy console applications. Use wcadmin instead. Type "man wcadmin" or "wcadmin --help" for more information. |
This warning is generated because Sun Cluster localization packages use the smreg command instead of wcadmin which is a new command in Sun Java(TM) Web Console 3.x. This message could mislead customers by implying that they need to perform another step to complete the Sun Cluster installation.
Solution This warning does not result from an installation error. You can safely ignore this warning message.
The installer gives you the option of choosing to install the Sun Cluster HA Application Server Agent with Application Server and HADB 8.1. However, the HA Application Server Agent does not support Application Server and HADB 8.1. As a result, you cannot configure HA Application Server.
Solution Do not install the HA Application Server Agent with Application Server and HADB 8.1.
Java Enterprise System 2005Q1 includes the Sun Cluster Data Service for the Sun Java System Directory Server 5 2004Q2. If you need the Sun Cluster Data Service for Sun Java System Directory Server 5.0 or 5.1 or for Netscape HTTP, version 4.1.6, it is available in the Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Services 10/03 release. To request this release, contact your Sun customer service representative.
Instead, it is installed from the Java Enterprise System 1 Accessory CD, volume 3. Also, the data services are not installed from the agents CD. Instead, they are installed from the Java Enterprise System 1 Accessory CD, volume 3.
If you have installed a Sun Cluster Agent prior to running the Java Enterprise System installer, the installer does not allow you to install additional agents.
Solution Install additional Sun Cluster Agents using pkgadd.
