Supported Products

This section describes the supported software and memory requirements for Sun Cluster 3.2 software.

Memory requirements – Sun Cluster 3.2 software requires the following memory requirements for every cluster node:
- Minimum of 512 MB of physical RAM (2GB typical).
- Minimum of 6GB of available hard drive space.
Actual physical memory and hard drive requirements are determined by the applications that are installed. Consult the application's documentation or contact the application vendor to calculate additional memory and hard drive requirements.
RSMAPI – Sun Cluster 3.2 software supports the Remote Shared Memory Application Programming Interface (RSMAPI) on RSM-capable interconnects, such as PCI-SCI.
Solaris Operating System (OS) – Sun Cluster 3.2 software and Quorum Server software requires the following minimum versions of the Solaris OS:
- Solaris 9 – Solaris 9 9/05 SPARC only.
- Solaris 10 – Solaris 10 11/06.
Solaris Trusted Extensions

Sun Cluster 3.2 supports Solaris non-global zones within a cluster. Solaris 10 11/06 includes support for Solaris Trusted Extensions. Solaris Trusted Extensions uses non-global zones as well. The interaction between Sun Cluster and Solaris Trusted Extensions using non-global zones has not been tested. Customers are advised to proceed with caution when using these technologies.

Sun Cluster Security Hardening

Sun Cluster Security Hardening uses the Solaris operating system hardening techniques recommended by the Sun BluePrints^TM program to achieve basic security hardening for clusters. The Solaris Security Toolkit automates the implementation of Sun Cluster Security Hardening.

The Sun Cluster Security Hardening documentation is available at http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0203/817-1079.pdf. You can also access the article from http://www.sun.com/software/security/blueprints. From this URL, scroll down to the Architecture heading to locate the article “Securing the Sun Cluster 3.x Software.” The documentation describes how to secure Sun Cluster 3.x deployments in a Solaris environment. The description includes the use of the Solaris Security Toolkit and other best-practice security techniques recommended by Sun security experts. The following data services are support by Sun Cluster security hardening:

Sun Cluster HA for Apache
Sun Cluster HA for Apache Tomcat
