This section provides suggestions about how to test a data service implementation in a highly-available environment. The test cases are suggestions and are not exhaustive. You need access to a test-bed Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration so that the testing work does not affect production machines.
Test that your HA data service behaves correctly in all cases where a resource group is moved between physical hosts. These cases include system crashes and the use of the clnode command. Test that client machines continue to get service after these events.
Test the idempotence of the methods. For example, replace each method temporarily with a short shell script that calls the original method two or more times.
