This section shows design examples of the PRIMECLUSTER system. Refer to these examples when designing the PRIMECLUSTER system.
System configuration
Figure A.1 System configuration example
Note: The NTP server should be set to one of the following operation mode;
Maintains time that is reliable for special hardware devices such as time units and GPS units.
Uses another server that maintains time that is reliable for special hardware devices such as time units and GPS units, and uses NTP for time synchronization.
Used hardware
SPARC Enterprise M10-4 x 2
Expansion file unit x 2
Fibre channel switch (SN200) x 2
Fast Ethernet card x 6
Fibre channel card x 6
Disk array unit (ETERNUS DX8100 S2) x 1
Operation management personal computer x 1
Used software
Solaris 11
Enhanced Support Facility 3.2
PRIMECLUSTER 4.3
Fujitsu PCI Fibre Channel 2.2
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (Installed in the operation management personal computer)
Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime Environment Version 6 (installed in the operation management personal computer)
System disk settings
Node name | Physical disk name | Slice number | ZFS root pool name | Size (MB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
primecl01 | c0t0d0 | 0 | rpool | 15374 |
primecl02 | c0t0d0 | 0 | rpool | 15374 |
Note
If GDS is used for system disk mirroring, one slice number in the system disk and at least 20 megabytes of free area are used. You need to consider the resources used by GDS when designing the system.
For details, see "A.2.8 System Disk Mirroring in a ZFS Boot Environment" of "A.2 Important Points" in "PRIMECLUSTER Global Disk Service Configuration and Administration Guide."
Shared disk array settings
Device name | Number of LU | Number of RAID groups | RAID level | Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ETERNUS3000 model 300(FC) | 4 | 1 | 5 | 248.2 GB |
Expansion file unit (FC) x 2 | - | - | - | 18.2 GB |
Note
To use the disk array units on UNIX, you need to format them by executing the "format (1M)" command.
When formatting the disk array units as part of the cluster system configuration work, you need to estimate the formatting time.
