![]() ![]() The next thing you should do is setup SSH so that both servers can access each other without the need for a password, I will leave you to google on how to do this as there are many documents out there for setting up SSH. Hopefully you should be able to ping all IP addresses of the other nodes within the cluster. The network setup should look something like below, again you would setup IP multipath groups to have resilience in the networking but I will leave this to google on how to setup IPMP up. I will discuss creating resources and group later, but when you start the Solaris servers the disk setup should look something like below, in the real world you would now configure the Volume manager software be it Sun or Veritas to mirror root disks, etc but i am leaving this out and only concentrating on Sun Cluster. In the real world you would also create a separate /opt and a /var slice. ![]() Slice 7: used for Solaris Volume manager - 100MB Slice 1: swap - 1.5GB (normally double memory) To install Solaris you can either use a burned iso image of Solaris on a DVD or use the iso image directly from your hard disk, just change the settings in CDROM and select "use ISO image" and point it to the Solaris 10 iso image file. Once you have configured the VM's its time to install Solaris in them, but first lets discuss what we need to install Solaris, Sun have a good data cluster worksheet that you can download fill in and use to configure your cluster. ![]() I remove any unnecessary hardware like the USB, etc. I selected the Solaris 10 64-bit make sure its the 64-bit as Sun cluster needs a 64-bit operating system. I will discuss how to add the shared storage later if you are wondering. Once you have installed VMware, configured two virtual machines as below (I called mine sclus3 and sclus 4), this was the minimum I could get away with without it being to slow. HP Pavilion DV2104e laptop (running windows XP - service pack 3), with 120GB hard disk, 2GB ramĪs you can see I am not running the most sophisticated piece of hardware which goes to show any hardware that's within 3 years old should be ok. ![]() I am going to explain how to install Sun Cluster 3.2 into a VMWare environment using Solaris 10 (x86). ![]()
