Cluster Configuration Repository (CCR)

To maintain an accurate representation of an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration, clustered systems require configuration control. The Oracle Solaris Cluster software uses a Cluster Configuration Repository (CCR) to store the current cluster configuration information. The CCR uses a two-phase commit algorithm for updates: An update must be successfully completed on all cluster members or the update is rolled back. The CCR uses the cluster interconnect to apply the distributed updates.

Caution  -  Although the CCR consists of text files, never edit the CCR files yourself. Each file contains a checksum record to ensure consistency between nodes. Updating CCR files yourself can cause a node or the entire cluster to stop working.

The CCR relies on the CMM to guarantee that a cluster is running only when quorum is established. The CCR is responsible for verifying data consistency across the cluster, performing recovery as necessary, and facilitating updates to the data.
