Two Oracle Solaris Cluster administrative commands (cluster and clnode) can also run in a zone cluster. However, the scope of these commands is limited to the zone cluster where the command is issued. For example, using the cluster command in the global-cluster node retrieves all information about the global cluster and all the zone clusters. Using the cluster command in a zone cluster retrieves information about that specific zone cluster.
When you use the clzonecluster command in a global-cluster node, the command affects all of the zone clusters in the global cluster. Zone cluster commands also affect all nodes on the zone cluster, even if a zone-cluster node is down when the command is issued.
Zone clusters support delegated administration of resources that are under Resource Group Manager (RGM) control. Therefore, zone cluster administrators can view, but not change, zone cluster dependencies that cross zone cluster boundaries. Only the administrator in a global-cluster node can create, modify, or delete dependencies that cross zone cluster boundaries.
The following list contains the major administrative tasks performed on a zone cluster.
Starting and rebooting a zone cluster – See Shutting Down and Booting a Cluster. You can also boot and reboot a zone cluster by using the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager browser interface. For Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager log-in instructions, see How to Access Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager.
Adding a node to a zone cluster – See Administering Cluster Nodes.
Removing a node from a zone cluster – See How to Remove a Node From a Zone Cluster. You can also uninstall the software from a zone cluster node by using the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager browser interface. For Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager log-in instructions, see How to Access Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager.
Viewing the configuration of a zone cluster – See How to View the Cluster Configuration. You can also view the configuration of a zone cluster by using the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager browser interface. For Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager log-in instructions, see How to Access Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager.
Validating the configuration of a zone cluster – See How to Validate a Basic Cluster Configuration.
Stopping a zone cluster – See Shutting Down and Booting a Cluster. You can also shut down a zone cluster by using the Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager browser interface. For Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager log-in instructions, see How to Access Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager.
