Backing Up the Cluster

Back up your cluster on a regular basis. Even though Oracle Solaris Cluster software provides a highly available environment, with mirrored copies of data on the storage devices, Oracle Solaris Cluster software is not a replacement for regular backups. An Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration can survive multiple failures, but does not protect against user or program error, or catastrophic failure. Therefore, you must have a backup procedure in place to protect against data loss.

The following information should be included as part of your backup.

  • All file system partitions

  • All database data if you are running DBMS data services

  • Disk partition information for all cluster disks
