The Sun Cluster 3.1 - 3.2 With SCSI JBOD Storage Device Manual for Solaris OS provides procedures specific to SCSI JBOD storage devices in a SunTM Cluster environment. Use this manual with any version of Sun Cluster 3.1 and 3.2 software on SPARC® based systems and with any supported versions of Sun Cluster 3.1 and 3.2 software on x86 based systems.
This Sun Cluster release supports systems that use the SPARC and x86 families of processor architectures: UltraSPARC, SPARC64, and AMD64. In this document, the label x86 refers to systems that use the AMD64 family of processor architectures. The information in this document pertains to both platforms unless otherwise specified in a special chapter, section, note, bulleted item, figure, table, or example.
In this document, references to Oracle Real Application Clusters also apply to Oracle Parallel Server, unless otherwise stated.
This book is for Sun representatives who are performing the initial installation of a Sun Cluster configuration and for system administrators who are responsible for maintaining the system.
This document is intended for experienced system administrators with extensive knowledge of Sun software and hardware. Do not use this document as a planning or a pre-sales guide. You should have already determined your system requirements and purchased the appropriate equipment and software before reading this document.
This book contains the following chapters.
