Why Clustering?

Keep business services running 24/7 through planned and unplanned maintenance,

disasters and outages

Solaris Cluster Overview

• Industrial-strength High Availability software platform for mission-critical business services

• Integrates largest portfolio of industry-leading commercial and open-source applications

• Open and flexible configurations• Business continuity across campuses, across

metropolitan areas and across the world

Failures happen

Failure points

Solaris Cluster HA platform• Tolerates any failure

> By exploiting hardware redundancy and software algorithms

• Monitors health of the cluster> Servers, storage & network> Applications

Solaris Cluster with Oracle RAC

Why Solaris Cluster for Oracle RAC? • Allows consolidation of Oracle RAC and other applications into a

single High Availability framework

• Faster failover and recovery with Solaris Cluster heartbeats in kernel• Eliminates single point of failure for Voting and OCR disks with

redundancy • Solaris Cluster leverages Oracle RAC advanced capabilities

> CRS integration > ASM support

• Shared file system storage for Oracle data for better manageability

CRS and CacheFusion traffic• Solaris Cluster I/O Fencing and

quorum prevents data corruption

• All Solaris Cluster interconnect links are used with automatic failover built-in> Up to 6 links supported

• Solaris Cluster stripes CacheFusion traffic over the private interconnects - resulting in higher throughput and lower latency for clients

SOLARIS CLUSTER New features

Solaris Cluster

Keeping business services running 24/7 through planned and unplanned maintenance, disasters and outages across local distances and across the world

Solaris Cluster includes• Sun Cluster 3.2

• Sun Cluster Geographic Edition 3.2

• Sun Cluster Agents 3.2

Solaris Cluster Highlights

The pervasive availability solution for business-driven IT on Solaris platforms

• Easy Cluster

• Extended Flexibility

• Predictable Availability

Easy Cluster

• New easy-to-use Command Line Interface • Simplified configuration for popular applications• Oracle 10g RAC extended manageability • Flexible IP address scheme• Dual partition software update • Live upgrade

New Intuitive Command Line Interface

Oracle RAC extended manageability

• Integrated installation - RAC support packages installed w/ Solaris Cluster

• Easier configuration - RAC auto-discovery by configuration wizard

• Improved RAC data base manageability - Single scalable resource group to represent one RAC DB

• Improved diagnosability - Better failure monitoring on shared disk group / file system mounts (per node device / file system availability)

• Tighter integration of RAC/CRS and SC - Faster fault detection and better coordination with DB instance recovery

Flexible IP address scheme

• Reduced range of required IP addresses for private interconnect

• Installation> Default values calculated for 64 nodes / 10 private

interconnects> IP address range can be customized (base address and

netmask)

• Later changes possible through command line

Dual Partition Software Update

• Allows upgrade of any/all component(s) of the software stack along with upgrade of Solaris Cluster> Solaris> File System and Volume Manager> Application (including fail-over and scalable)

• Provides software automation to limit human errors• Minimal service outage: equivalent to switchover

time of application

Dual Partition Upgrade Steps

Split Cluster in 2 partitions

❸

❶ ❷Isolate and install new software stack on inactive partition

Switch cluster and applicationsto updated partition

❺

Install new software stack

Rejoin cluster

❹

Live Upgrade

Inactive boot environment for new Solaris / cluster software installation

Extended Flexibility: more choice

• More Solaris components integration> Containers, EFI, HA NFSv4, HA ZFS

• More 3rd party software configuration choices> Replication software for Campus and Geo Cluster: HDS

TrueCopy, EMC SRDF, Oracle DataGuard, Veritas Fast Mirror Resynch , Veritas Volume Replicator

• More 3rd party storage choice: Open Storage Program

• More application support

Solaris Container expanded support • Combines benefits of clustering and containers:

> Application isolation and fault containment > High-availability and load balancing

• Existing HA or scalable agents run in local zone or in global zone

• Multiple resource groups can run in the same zone and fail over independently

• SMF controlled applications run with little effort within cluster environment

• Solaris Cluster infrastructure runs in the global zone

Applications and Solaris Containers

• Failover Zone / HA Container Agent > Zone is considered as

resource> Monitors zone it-self > Triggers zone restart or

failover

• Zone Node > Zone is considered as

virtual node> Monitors application

running within zone > Triggers application

restart within zone or fail over to zone on other system

• Solaris 10 on x64> SAP 7.0, MaxDB 7.5

> Traditional CI and AS. > Message Server,

Enqueue Server, > Replicated Enqueue

server, Web Application Server, J2EE engine

> Apache Webserver> IBM WS MQBroker

More Applications Support with Solaris 10 and x64

• Solaris 10 on SPARC> SAP 7.0> Siebel 7.8

• JES 5 Application support> App Server 8.2> Web Server 7.0> MQ Server 3.7> HADB 4.4

• NFS V4 support• PostgreSQL• Kerberos

Predictable Availability

• Proactive Monitoring and Improved Diagnosability> Disk Path Failure Handling > SNMP event MIB> Command logging> Resource monitoring pause

• Service Level Management> Workload system resource monitoring and control

• New quorum and fencing options> Quorum server> Customization of fencing options

Workload System Resources Monitoring and Control

• System resources utilization measurement and visualization: > Per node, resource, resource group> Current or past

• Threshold management> CPU, memory, network bandwidth, disk IO> SNMP events support

• CPU reservation and control on cluster resource group

Quorum Server

• An alternative to shared storage for quorum devices• Quorum server configured on a host external to the

cluster• Provides quorum device flexibility to customer

> A single host can run one or more quorum servers> A cluster can be configured with multiple quorum servers

(each on a different host)

• Cost savings for campus clusters: IP vs FC • Lowers potential outage time

> Reconfiguration time improvements up to 9 sec

Customization of fencing options

• Option to use SCSI-3 for devices that support it> Configuration through CLI while cluster is up > Can be set globally or for individual shared devices

• Default behavior remains the same as before• Lowers outage times in all failure modes where

cluster reconfiguration will occur> Reconfiguration time improvement up to 12 sec
