Oracle Solaris Cluster Releases All nodes in the cluster are required to run the same version (including the update release) of Oracle Solaris Cluster. This Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 Compatibility Guide only covers the Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 release. Contact Oracle Support or your sales representative for information on earlier Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.x releases. Oracle Solaris Releases All nodes in the cluster are required to run the same version (including the update release) of the operating system. The Oracle Solaris releases supported with Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 are: ■ Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 ■ Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Refer to the Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 Release Notes for patch requirements. 1 ORACLE SOLARIS CLUSTER 3.3 3/13 COMPATIBILITY GUIDE • A reduced set of Oracle Solaris packages may be installed. See Solaris Cluster 3.3 or higher Solaris OS Minimization Support for Solaris Cluster, ID 1544605.1 on My Oracle Support for more info. Application Services An application service is an application along with a data service which makes the application highly available and / or scalable in Oracle Solaris Cluster. Refer to the Chapter 2, "Data Service Support For Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13," on page 13 for details. Cluster Administration and Monitoring ■ Sun Cluster Manager - This is an easy to use system management tool that enables one to carry out basic Sun Cluster system management and monitoring with a focus on installation and configuration. This requires a suitable workstation or PC with a Web browser as listed below: TABLE 1-1 Sun Cluster Manager Supported Web Browsers Operating System Browser Solaris Mozilla 1.4 and above Netscape 6.2 and above FireFox 1.0 and above Windows Internet Explorer: 5.5 and above Mozilla 1.4 and above Netscape 6.2 and above FireFox 1.0 and above 2 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION File Systems Oracle ACFS Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) is supported as a cluster file system. ■ Support starts with Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11gR2: 11.2.0.2 ■ Used only with: ■ Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Apache, ■ Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for NFS ■ Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Oracle ■ The database home for Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) ■ Cannot run Oracle RAC in a zone cluster when the database home is on an Oracle ACFS file system ■ Cannot use an Oracle ACFS file system for an application that is running from a non- global zone 3 ORACLE SOLARIS CLUSTER 3.3 3/13 COMPATIBILITY GUIDE • StorageTek QFS TABLE 1-2 StorageTek QFS Support Matrix for Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 StorageTek QFS Version Platform Notes 5.3 • SPARC See SAM-QFS 5.3 What Works With What - • x64 https://community.oracle.com/docs/DOC-917146 5.2 Patch -01 • SPARC See SAM-QFS 5.2 What Works With What - (build 5.2.2) https://community.oracle.com/docs/DOC-916981 Veritas File System TABLE 1-3 Veritas File System (VxFS) Support Matrix for Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 VxFS Version Platform Notes 5.1 SP1 RP4 • SPARC • Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 5.1 SP1 RP3 • SPARC • Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 • x64 For additional information on VxFS support, see Solaris Cluster Clarification of Symantec Support for Veritas Volume Manager and Veritas File System (Doc ID 1563227.1). 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 cluster’s quorum device. You can use a quorum server instead of, or in addition to, shared disks. ■ Supported hardware - The supported hardware platforms for a quorum server are the same as for a global-cluster node. ■ Operating system - Oracle Solaris software requirements for Oracle Solaris Cluster software apply as well to Quorum Server software. ■ Non-global zones - A quorum server cannot be installed and configured in a non-global zone. ■ Service to multiple clusters - You can configure a quorum server as a quorum device to more than one cluster. 4 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION ■ 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 that it provides quorum to. For example, a SPARC based machine that runs the Oracle Solaris 11 OS can be configured as a quorum server for an x64 based cluster that runs the Oracle Solaris 10 OS. See Table 1-4, “Quorum Server Inter operability,” on page 5 for Oracle Solaris Cluster version inter operability. ■ Using a cluster node as a quorum server - Yo u 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. ■ If patching or upgrading cluster software on cluster nodes requires patching or upgrading the quorum server software, the quorum server must be patched or upgraded before patching or upgrading the cluster nodes. Refer to “How to Upgrade Quorum Server Software” in the Oracle Solaris Cluster Upgrade Guide.

Support for Oracle VM Server for SPARC Oracle VM Server for SPARC, formerly Logical Domains (LDoms), is supported. Table 1-5, “Oracle VM Server for SPARC Releases for Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13,” on page 7 summarizes Oracle VM Server for SPARC support. Table 1-6, “Oracle VM Server for SPARC Server Matrix,” on page 7 summarizes Oracle servers and Oracle VM Server for SPARC releases supported with Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13. Also refer to the respective Oracle VM Server for SPARC and server product information for software, firmware, hardware, patch requirements, and restrictions for the specific hardware and release of Oracle VM Server for SPARC being deployed.
