This section contains the procedures for installing single-controller and dual-controller storage array configurations in new and existing Oracle Solaris Cluster configurations. The following table lists these procedures.
Table 1-1 Task Map: Installing a Storage Array
|
You can install your storage array in several different configurations. Use the Sun StorEdge 6120 Array Installation Guide to evaluate your needs and determine which configuration is best for your situation.
The following figures illustrate example configurations.
Figure 1-1 shows two storage arrays, and two have controllers. The storage arrays connect to a two-node cluster through two switches. Dual-controller configurations require software RAID-1 (host-based mirroring).
Figure 1-1 Installing a 1x1 Configuration With Software RAID-1
Figure 1-2 shows four storage arrays, and two have controllers. The first storage array without a controller connects to the second storage array, which has a controller. The third storage array without a controller connects to the fourth storage array, which has a controller. The two storage arrays with controllers connect to a two-node cluster through two switches. Dual-controller configurations require software RAID-1 (host-based mirroring).
Figure 1-2 Installing a 1x2 Configuration With Software RAID-1
Figure 1-3 shows two storage arrays, and two have controllers. The two storage arrays are daisy-chained. The two storage arrays connect to a 2-node cluster through two switches.
Figure 1-3 Installing a 2x2 Configuration
Figure 1-4 shows four storage arrays, and two have controllers. All storage array are daisy-chained in the following order: alternate master, master, alternate master, and master. The two storage arrays with controllers connect to a two-node cluster through two switches.

The Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 2.5 software helps you patch and monitor your data center assets. Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 2.5 helps improve operational efficiency and ensures that you have the latest software patches for your software. Contact your Oracle representative to purchase Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 2.5.
Additional information for using the Oracle patch management tools is provided in Oracle Solaris Administration Guide: Basic Administration at http://docs.sun.com. Refer to the version of this manual for the Oracle Solaris OS release that you have installed.
If you must apply a patch when a node is in noncluster mode, you can apply it in a rolling fashion, one node at a time, unless instructions for a patch require that you shut down the entire cluster. Follow the procedures in How to Apply a Rebooting Patch (Node) in Oracle Solaris Cluster System Administration Guide to prepare the node and to boot it in noncluster mode. For ease of installation, consider applying all patches at the same time. That is, apply all patches to the node that you place in noncluster mode.
For required firmware, see the Sun System Handbook.
