Sun Cluster 2.2 7/00 Release Notes

Data Service Bugs

4262913 - The Sun Cluster HA for Oracle ksh script in /opt/SUNWcluster/bin has problems if it encounters a non-Sun-supplied data service with the string "oracle" in its name. Therefore, do not include the string "oracle" in any names of data services you create using the Sun Cluster Application Programming Interface (API).

4336343 - Inclusion of "child-level monitoring" features in pmfd for Sun Cluster 2.2. See "Features" for more information.

4338556 - The Sun Cluster HA for NetBackup activity monitor does not display the correct status after switchover. This means that you cannot detect the status of backups after a switchover. No workaround exists for this problem currently. See your service provider for the latest status.

4345031 - If a switchover or failover from a NetBackup client cluster occurs during a restore operation, the restore process continues to write to the root disk and might fill up that disk, thus stalling the switchover of the cluster. Simultaneously, the NetBackup Progress Report utility does not report the correct status of the restore operation.

To correct this situation, include the following parameter in the bp.conf file for the NetBackup client cluster:


REQUIRED_INTERFACE=logicialhostname

For example:


REQUIRED_INTERFACE=lh-schost-1

This parameter ensures that the restore process (a tar operation) stops writing to the root disk via the shared disk mount point after a switchover or failover. However, the tar process may persist for a while; you can just delete it and reexecute the restore.

4387527 - When installing the ha-oracle agent in Sun Cluster 2.2, root does not need to be listed as a member of the database administrator group in the /etc/group file as previously documented. The entry can now be


dba:*:520:oracle

For more information on installing and configuring Sun Cluster HA for Oracle, see the Sun Cluster 2.2 Software Installation Guide.

4405556 - Missing information on installing Sun Cluster HA for Oracle on multihost disks. The following note should be included in Chapter 5 of the Sun Cluster 2.2 Software Installation Guide.


only -

If you install the Oracle binaries on a multihost disk, you must install the SQL*PLUS option from Oracle on the local nodes as well. The Sun Cluster HA for Oracle fault monitor only works correctly when you install the SQL*PLUS option on the local nodes.
