SPARC: Oracle VM Server for SPARC Software Guest Domains: Clusters Span Two Different Hosts Topology

In this Oracle VM Server for SPARC software guest domain topology, each cluster spans two different hosts and each cluster has one host. Each guest domain acts the same as a host in a cluster. In this configuration, because both clusters share the same interconnect switch, you must specify a different private network address on each cluster. Otherwise, if you specify the same private network address on clusters that share an interconnect switch, the configuration fails.

The following figure illustrates a configuration in which more than a single cluster spans two different hosts.
