13.1 Design

This section explains the design for PRIMECLUSTER operating on Oracle Solaris Zones environments.

The table below shows examples of PRIMECLUSTER system building in Oracle Solaris Zones environments.

*1: See each middleware manual to check the compatibility of the middleware in a new environment.

Range of support and supported resources by each middleware are different in Oracle Solaris Zones environments compared to physical environments. Besides, newly building PRIMECLUSTER is required in Oracle Solaris Zones environments. Rebuilding PRIMECLUSTER is required even for the migration from an environment with PRIMECLUSTER operation as the above example shows.

In the migration from an environment with PRIMECLUSTER operation to Oracle Solaris Legacy Containers (OSLC) environment, migratable PRIMECLUSTER versions are as follows:

See

  • See "13.2 Building" for the complete building procedure to newly build PRIMECLUSTER in Oracle Solaris 10 Zones environment or Oracle Solaris 11 Zones environment, or to migrate PRIMECLUSTER to Oracle Solaris 10 Zones environment or Oracle Solaris 11 Zones environment.

  • See "13.3 Configuration for Using OSLC" for the complete building procedure due to a migration to Oracle Solaris Legacy Containers(OSLC) environments.

Note

The following function is not available in an OSLC environment.

  • IPv6 on a public LAN
