SPARC: Registering and Configuring HA for Oracle VM Server

SPARC: How to Configure HA for Oracle VM Server

Before You Begin

Install the data service packages during your initial Oracle Solaris Cluster installation.

If you did not install the HA for Oracle VM Server packages as part of your initial Oracle Solaris Cluster installation, go to Installing the HA for Oracle VM Server Package.

1. Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify and solaris.cluster.admin RBAC authorization on the node in the cluster that hosts the Oracle VM Server for SPARC guest domain.
2. Register the SUNW.ldom resource type.

   # clresourcetype register SUNW.ldom

3. Create an Oracle VM Server for SPARC guest domain resource in the failover resource group.

   If you plan to use warm migration (see Step 4), a password_file property is required. For warm migration, specify the complete path to the file that contains the target host password that is required for guest domain migration.

   # clresource create -g LDom-failover-rg -t SUNW.ldom \
   -p password_file=path-to-file-with-target-host-password \
   -p Domain_name=LDom-guest-domain-instance LDom-guest-domain-resource

4. If you plan to use warm migration, enable warm migration to be performed on a guest domain during logical domain resource failovers.

   Warm migration requires that the migration_type property be set to MIGRATE, which is the default value. For a value of MIGRATE, the password_file is required (see Step 3).

   If the migration_type property is instead set to NORMAL, change the property value to MIGRATE:

   # clresource set -p Migration_type=MIGRATE LDom-guest-domain-resource

5. Enable each guest domain resource.

   Repeat this step for each guest domain instance, if multiple instances were created.

   # clresource status
   # clresource enable LDom-guest-domain-resource

SPARC: How to Remove an HA for Oracle VM Server Resource From a Failover Resource Group

1. Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify and solaris.cluster.admin RBAC authorizations.
2. Disable and remove the resource that is used by the HA for Oracle VM Server data service.

   # clresource disable resource
   # clresource delete resource
