7. Campus Clustering With Oracle Solaris Cluster Software
Some servers support the mirroring of internal hard drives (internal hardware disk mirroring or integrated mirroring) to provide redundancy for node data. To use this feature in a cluster environment, follow the steps in this section.
The best way to set up hardware disk mirroring is to perform RAID configuration during cluster installation, before you configure multipathing. For instructions on performing this configuration, see the Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide. If you need to change your mirroring configuration after you have established the cluster, you must perform some cluster-specific steps to clean up the device IDs, as described in the procedure that follows.
Note - Specific servers might have additional restrictions. See the documentation that shipped with your server hardware.
For specifics about how to configure your server's internal disk mirroring, refer to the documents that shipped with your server and the raidctl(1M) man page.
Before You Begin
This procedure assumes that you have already installed your hardware and software and have established the cluster. To configure an internal disk mirror during cluster installation, see the Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide.
![]() | Caution - If there are state database replicas on the disk that you are mirroring, you must recreate them during this procedure. |
Record this information because you use it later in this procedure to return resource groups and device groups to the node.
Use the following command:
# clresourcegroup status -n nodename # cldevicegroup status -n nodename
# clnode evacuate fromnode
# raidctl -c clt0d0 clt1d0
Creates the mirror of primary disk to the mirror disk. Enter the name of your primary disk as the first argument. Enter the name of the mirror disk as the second argument.
# reboot -- -S
Use the following command:
# cldevice repair /dev/rdsk/clt0d0
Updates the cluster's record of the device IDs for the primary disk. Enter the name of your primary disk as the argument.
# cldevice list
The command lists only the primary disk, and not the mirror disk, as visible to the cluster.
# reboot
# metadb -a /dev/rdsk/clt0d0s4
Perform the following step for each device group you want to return to the original node.
# cldevicegroup switch -n nodename devicegroup1[ devicegroup2 ...]
The node to which you are restoring device groups.
The device group or groups that you are restoring to the node.
Perform the following step for each resource group you want to return to the original node.
# clresourcegroup switch -n nodename resourcegroup1[ resourcegroup2 …]
For failover resource groups, the node to which the groups are returned. For scalable resource groups, the node list to which the groups are returned.
The resource group or groups that you are returning to the node or nodes.
Record this information because you use this information later in this procedure to return resource groups and device groups to the node.
Use the following command:
# clresourcegroup status -n nodename # cldevicegroup status -n nodename
# clnode evacuate fromnode
# raidctl -d clt0d0
Deletes the mirror of primary disk to the mirror disk. Enter the name of your primary disk as the argument.
# reboot -- -S
Use the following command:
# cldevice repair /dev/rdsk/clt0d0 /dev/rdsk/clt1d0
Updates the cluster's record of the device IDs. Enter the names of your disks separated by spaces.
# cldevice list
The command lists both disks as visible to the cluster.
# reboot
# metadb -c 3 -ag /dev/rdsk/clt0d0s4
# cldevicegroup switch -n nodename devicegroup1 devicegroup2 …
The node to which you are restoring device groups.
The device group or groups that you are restoring to the node.
Perform the following step for each resource group you want to return to the original node.
# clresourcegroup switch -n nodename resourcegroup[ resourcegroup2 …]
For failover resource groups, the node to which the groups are restored. For scalable resource groups, the node list to which the groups are restored.
The resource group or groups that you are restoring to the node or nodes.
