Support forOracle 10gR2RealApplicationClusters onthe x64PlatformSun Cluster Support for Oracle RealApplication Clusters supports Oracle 10g R2 RealApplicationClusters on the x64 platformwith version 10 of the Solaris OS. For information about Sun ClusterSupport for Oracle RealApplication Clusters, see Sun Cluster Data Service for Oracle RealApplication Clusters Guide for Solaris OS.

If you are using Sun Cluster Support for Oracle RealApplication Clusters with Oracle 10g R2 RealApplication Clusters on the x64 platform, the following patches are required: Sun Cluster patch 120498-02 Solaris patch 119964-05

If you are using a storage area network (SAN) to provide access to shared storage and I/Omultipathing is enabled, the following Solaris patches are also required: 119375-13 119716-10

Without these patches, a node can lose access to all shared storage if a physical link that providesaccess to storage is disconnected or fails.

Support for SunMultipathing Software onSolaris 10x86BasedCongurationsThe procedure How to Install SunMultipathing Software in Sun Cluster Software InstallationGuide for Solaris OS is now also valid for x86 based congurations on the Solaris 10 operating system(OS). Contact your Sun sales representative for details.

Sun TrafcManager is not supported on x86 based congurations that run the Solaris 9 OS.However, it is still supported on SPARC based congurations that run the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 OS.

Support for InniBandAdapters on theClusterInterconnectThe following requirements and guidelines apply to Sun Cluster congurations that use InniBandadapters: Atwo-node cluster must use InniBand switches. You cannot directly connect the InniBand

adapters to each other. Asingle Sun InniBand switch, which has nine ports, can support up to nine nodes in a cluster. Jumbo frames are not supported on a cluster that uses InniBand adapters.

NewFeatures



VLANs are not supported on a cluster that uses InniBand adapters. If only one InniBand adapter is installed on a cluster node, each of its two ports must be

connected to a different InniBand switch. If two InniBand adapters are installed in a cluster node, leave the second port on each adapter

unused. For example, connect port 1 onHCA1 to switch 1 and connect port 1 onHCA2 toswitch 2.

Restrictions andRequirementsNo restrictions or requirements have been added or updated since the Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 release.

FixedProblemsThere are no xed problems at this time.

KnownProblemsIn addition to known problems that are documented in Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 Release Notes for SolarisOS, the following known problems affect the operation of the Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 release.

Cluster ProblemsWhenUsing the ipge3Port asInterconnectProblem Summary:Various problems occur when using the ipge3 port for the cluster interconnect.These issues include the following: The cluster interconnect goes down intermittently (CR 6328986). The rsh/telnet/rlogin process hangs when connecting over the cluster interconnect (CR

6352333). Network devices based on the Intel Ophir chip are unreliable in a back-to-back conguration

(CR 6331252).

Workaround:To avoid these problems, perform the following steps:

1. Set the /etc/system variable for ipge as follows:

set ipge:ipge_taskq_disable=1

2. Use an Ethernet switch with your cluster interconnect cables for all ipge onboard interfaces.Direct-connect onboard interfaces are not supported by Sun Cluster software at this time.

Known Problems

SolarisOperating System10Patch 11882218andLater CanNegatively Impact Cluster StabilityWhenRunonSPARCPlatformwithPxFS (6335093)Problem Summary:The Solaris Operating System 10 patch 11882218 and later can cause node andcluster panics when run on a SPARCwith PxFS. The workaround for this bug is to disable segkpm onall nodes of the cluster. This workaround can cause severe performance degradation when comparedto an existing Solaris 10 installation. There is no performance degradation when compared to aSolaris 9 installation. The performance degradation is directly proportional to the number of CPUson each node. Nodes withmoderate numbers of CPUs (less than 20) will not be affected signicantly.This problem does not affect x86/x64 systems on Solaris 8, Solaris 9, and Solaris 10 and SPARCSolaris 8 and Solaris 9 installations. This problem also does not affect clusters running UFS, QFS, andVxFS.

Workaround:Disable segkpm. On each node, add the following entry to the /etc/system le.

set segmap_kpm=0

Java ES 4 Installer Fails to Install on Solaris 10 EndUserCluster (6363536)Problem Summary: In the Sun Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 distribution, Sun Cluster softwarehas a dependency on Sun JavaWeb Console. The Solaris 10 version of Java ES no longer installs SunJavaWeb Console. Instead, Sun JavaWeb Console is expected to be installed as part of the Solaris 10OS.

Sun JavaWeb Console is only available in the Developer software group of Solaris 10 software andhigher. If you install the EndUser software group of the Solaris 10 OS, Sun JavaWeb Console is notinstalled. Therefore, the Java ES installer will not install Sun Cluster software because this requiredsoftware is missing.

Workaround:After you install the Solaris 10 EndUser software group but before you start the JavaES installer, use the pkgadd command to install the following Sun JavaWeb Console software and itsdependency packages from the Solaris 10media:

SUNWmctag

SUNWmconr

SUNWmcon

After all packages are installed, start the Java ES installer and proceed with Sun Cluster softwareinstallation.

LocalizationPackages For Sun JavaWebConsoleDoNot Exist in the SunCluster StandaloneDistribution(6299614)Problem Summary: In the standalone distribution of Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software, the Sun JavaWeb Console packages on the Sun Cluster 2 of 2 CD-ROMdo not include localization packages. Thelack of packages prevents SunPlexManager from displaying the correct localized version after SunCluster software is upgraded to the Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 release.

Workaround:During upgrade to the Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 release, upgrade Sun JavaWeb Consolepackages from the Sun Java Enterprise System (Java ES) distribution instead of from the Sun Clusterdistribution.When following the Sun Cluster procedures for upgrading dependency software,substitute the following instructions to install or upgrade Sun JavaWeb Console.

How toUpgrade Sun JavaWebConsole LocalizationPackages

Remove any Sun JavaWebConsole localization packages that are installed on the node.# pkgrm SUNWcmctg SUNWdmctg SUNWemctg SUNWfmctg SUNWhmctg SUNWkmctg SUNWjmctg

# pkgrm SUNWcmcon SUNWdmcon SUNWemcon SUNWfmcon SUNWhmcon SUNWkmcon SUNWjmcon

Change to a directory that does not reside on the CD-ROMandeject the CD-ROM.

Continue the SunCluster 3.1 8/05 software upgradeprocedures.

See Upgrading Sun Cluster Software in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide.

IPv6 Scalable Service Support is Not EnabledbyDefault (6332656)Problem Summary: IPv6 plumbing on the interconnects, which is required for forwarding of IPv6scalable service packets, will no longer be enabled by default. The IPv6 interfaces, as seen when usingthe ifconfig command, will no longer be plumbed on the interconnect adapters by default.

Workaround:Manually enable IPv6 scalable service support.

How toManually Enable IPv6 Scalable Service SupportEnsure that you have prepared all cluster nodes to run IPv6 services. These tasks include properconguration of network interfaces, server/client application software, name services, and routinginfrastructure. Failure to do somight result in unexpected failures of network applications. Formoreinformation, see your Solaris system-administration documentation for IPv6 services.

Oneachnode, add the following entry to the /etc/system le.set cl_comm:ifk_disable_v6=0

Oneachnode, enable IPv6 plumbing on the interconnect adapters.# /usr/cluster/lib/sc/config_ipv6

The config_ipv6 utility brings up an IPv6 interface on all cluster interconnect adapters that have alink-local address. The utility enables proper forwarding of IPv6 scalable service packets over theinterconnects.

Alternately, you can reboot each cluster node to activate the conguration change.

Claricationof theRestrictionConcerning Solaris 10Non-Global ZonesThe section Solaris OS Restrictions in the chapter Planning the Sun Cluster Congurationcontains the following statement:

Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 software does not support non-global zones. All Sun Cluster software andsoftware that is managed by the cluster must be installed only on the global zone of the node. Donot install cluster-related software on a non-global zone. In addition, all cluster-related softwaremust be installed in a way that prevents propagation to a non-global zone that is later created on acluster node.

This restriction applies specically to the installation location of Sun Cluster framework softwareand Sun Cluster data-service software. It does not restrict the creation of non-global zones on acluster node. In addition, applications can be installed in a non-global zone on a cluster node andcongured to be highly available andmanaged by Sun Cluster software. Formore information, seeSun Cluster HAfor Solaris Containers in Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 Release Notes for Solaris OS.
