Administration Tools

Language:

You can perform administrative tasks for an Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration by using the command line or the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager browser interface. The following section provides an overview of Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager and the command-line tools.

Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager Browser Interface

Oracle Solaris Cluster software supports a browser interface, Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager, that you can use to perform various administrative tasks on your cluster. See Using the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager Browser Interface for more information. You can also get Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager log-in instructions at How to Access Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager.

Following are some of the tasks that you can perform in Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager:

Create and update a zone cluster
Create resources and resource groups
Add a file system, logical host, or shared storage to a zone cluster
Create an Oracle Database data service
Manage nodes in a global cluster or a zone cluster
Add and manage quorum devices and servers
Add and manage NAS storage devices, and manage disks and device groups
Manage Geographic Edition partnerships

Command-Line Interface

You can perform most Oracle Solaris Cluster administration tasks interactively through the clsetup utility. Whenever possible, administration procedures in this guide use the clsetup utility.

You can administer the following Main Menu items through the clsetup utility.

Quorum
Resource groups
Data services
Cluster interconnect
Device groups and volumes
Private hostnames
New nodes
Zone cluster
Other cluster tasks
