Server Support
Table 1-1, Supported SPARC Servers, on page 1 and Table 1-2, Supported x64 Servers, on page 2 list the servers supported with Oracle Solaris Cluster. Other components, such as storage and network interfaces, may not be all supported with every server. Refer to the other chapters for information on those components. This document only includes Oracle servers listed in the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) for Oracle Solaris 11 (http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/data/s11ga/index.html). As the HCL is updated regularly this version of the document might not reflect the latest additions to the HCL.

Storage Overview
The focus of this chapter is on cluster shared storage, sometimes referred to as multihosted storage. Storage products are typically supported with a specific set of servers, HBAs, and possibly SAN switches. The information in this chapter summarizes the combinations qualified for Oracle Solaris Cluster. Consult the storage, HBA, SAN switches, and server product information for details.

Quorum Devices in Oracle Solaris Cluster

Unless noted otherwise, all supported shared storage devices can act as quorum devices. See the specific storage product discussion for details. Oracle Solaris Cluster Quorum Server software can also be used to satisfy cluster quorum requirements. See Oracle Solaris Cluster Quorum Server Software on page 29.

Supported Fibre Channel (FC) Storage Devices

The tables in this section list the FC storage devices supported with Oracle Solaris Cluster and the servers that can share these storage devices in clusters. Once you have determined whether your server and storage combination is supported, refer to the storage details section for other supported components.

Fibre Channel Storage Support

This chapter discusses Fibre Channel storage support in Oracle Solaris Cluster.

Fibre Channel Configuration Support

This section pertains to direct-attached and SAN-switch-connected shared storage support.

Server/HBA/Switch/Storage Support
Using supported storage switches, you can connect supported Fibre Channel (FC) storage devices and supported servers in a Storage Area Network (SAN) configuration. These configurations are supported with Oracle Solaris Cluster as long as they are within the range of supported devices and limitations listed in this chapter. Supported configurations are composed of supported servers, FC HBAs, switches and storage devices.

Supported FC Storage
Basic supported storage-server combinations are listed in Table 2-1, FC Storage for SPARC Servers, on page 4 and Table 2-2, FC Storage for x64 Servers, on page 5. Refer to the section in this chapter for the storage device of interest for additional info.

ORACLE SOLARIS CLUSTER CONFIGURATION GUIDE DECEMBER 22, 2011

Supported FC Host Bus Adapters (HBAs)

FC HBAs supported with Oracle Solaris Cluster are listed below. Check the server, HBA, switch, and storage product documentation for supported combinations. Refer to the individual storage device sections in this chapter for exceptions.

Software Configuration
Typically, each node in an Oracle Solaris Cluster will have the Oracle Solaris operating system, Oracle Solaris Cluster software, volume management software, and applications along with their agents and fault monitors running on it.

Oracle Solaris Cluster Releases

All nodes in the cluster are required to run the same version (including the update release) of Oracle Solaris Cluster. The current version is Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.0.

Oracle Solaris Releases

All nodes in the cluster are required to run the same version (including the update release) of the operating system. Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.0 requires Oracle Solaris 11 operating system software.

Application Services
An application service is an application along with an agent which makes the application highly available or scalable in Oracle Solaris Cluster. Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.0 failover and scalable services are listed in Table 6-1 (SPARC) and Table 6-2 (x64).

Oracle Solaris Cluster Quorum Server Software

You can use Oracle Solaris Cluster Quorum Server software to configure a machine as a quorum server and then configure the quorum server as your clusters quorum device. You can use a quorum server instead of, or in addition to, shared disks.

The supported hardware platforms for a quorum server are the same as for a global-cluster node. Oracle Solaris software requirements for Oracle Solaris Cluster software apply as well to Quorum Server software. Service to multiple clusters - You can configure a quorum server as a quorum device to more than one cluster. Mixed hardware and software - You do not have to configure a quorum server on the same hardware and software platform as the cluster or clusters to which it provides quorum. Using a cluster node as a quorum server - You can configure a quorum server on a cluster node to provide quorum for clusters other than the cluster that the node belongs to. However, a quorum server that is configured on a cluster node is not highly available.
