How to Deploy the Oracle VM Server for SPARC Template for Oracle Solaris Cluster to Configure a Logical Domain Cluster
-
Ensure that the
ovmtutils
package is installed in the control domain. You can use the following command to verify whether the package has been installed.# pkg info ovmtutils
-
Ensure that the Oracle VM Server for SPARC template file is accessible from the control domains.
-
Ensure that the Oracle VM Server for SPARC services have been defined:
-
Virtual disk service - The
ovmtutils
create and configure various aspects of the Oracle VM Server for SPARC environment during deployment, but will require some services to be present. Additionally, some services are required by subsequent tasks. The following is an example command to create a disk service and is run from the control domain:# /usr/sbin/ldm add-vds primary-vds0 primary
-
Virtual console concentrator service - The following is an example command to create a console concentrator service and is run from the control domain:
# /usr/sbin/ldm add-vcc port-range=5000-5100 primary-vcc0 primary
-
Have available the following information:
-
com.oracle.hacluster.config.cluster_name
– Specifies the cluster name. -
com.oracle.hacluster.config.node_list
– Comma-separated list of hostnames of the logical domains to form the cluster. The first node in the list is the first one to be added to the cluster and serves as the sponsor node for the rest of the nodes. It is required that all domains deployed by using the template to have the exact same list, as the order of the list matters: the first host name is the sponsor node. -
com.oracle.hacluster.config.interconnect
– Comma-separated list of the interconnect adapters, orpkeys
if you are using InfiniBand partitions. -
com.oracle.hacluster.config.private_netaddr
– (Optional) Specify a private network address that is compatible with netmask 255.255.240.0. The default address is172.16.0.0. When using InfiniBand, the default private network address can be used as thepkeys
are different among the clusters.You can use the same cluster configuration property file for all the new domains.
-
Type all commands in this procedure from the control domain. The template file is located at
/export/ovmt/ovm_osc5_sparc.ova
. -
Perform this procedure to create a cluster of guest domains or of I/O domains.
Note:
This procedure cannot be used for the following tasks:-
Create a cluster of control domains.
-
Add nodes to an existing cluster of logical domains.
Instead, follow procedures as for physical machines to perform these tasks. See Finding Oracle Solaris Cluster Installation Tasks.
