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.
Migration (building) destination | Building PRIMECLUSTER | PRIMECLUSTER medium to use | Building OS/Middleware | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Newly building | Oracle Solaris 10 Zones environment | Newly building | Medium of PRIMECLUSTER 4.3A20 or later | Newly building |
Migrating from an environment with PRIMECLUSTER operation | Oracle Solaris 10 Zones environment | Rebuilding | Medium of PRIMECLUSTER 4.3A20 or later | Migrating by creating a flash archive (*1) |
Oracle Solaris 8 Containers (OSLC) environment | Rebuilding | Medium of PRIMECLUSTER used in the migration source | Migrating by creating a flash archive (*1) | |
Migrating from an environment without PRIMECLUSTER operation | Oracle Solaris 10 Zones environment | Newly building | Medium of PRIMECLUSTER 4.3A20 or later | Migrating by creating a flash archive (*1) |
*1: See each middleware manual to check if the middleware in the migration source can be used in a new environment as it is.
The range of support and the supported resources 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.
The migration from an environment without PRIMECLUSTER operation to an Oracle Solaris Legacy Containers (OSLC) environment is out of support.
In the migration from an environment with PRIMECLUSTER operation to an Oracle Solaris Legacy Containers (OSLC) environment, migratable PRIMECLUSTER versions are as follows:
Solaris 8
PRIMECLUSTER 4.1A30 and 4.1A40
Solaris 9
PRIMECLUSTER 4.1A30, 4.1A40, and 4.2A00
See
See "16.2 Building" for the complete building procedure for newly building PRIMECLUSTER in an Oracle Solaris 10 Zones environment or an Oracle Solaris 11 Zones environment, or for migrating PRIMECLUSTER to an Oracle Solaris 10 Zones environment or an Oracle Solaris 11 Zones environment.
See "16.3 Configuration for Using OSLC" for the complete building procedure for migrating PRIMECLUSTER to an Oracle Solaris Legacy Containers (OSLC) environment.
For how to migrate an environment where GFS is used to an Oracle Solaris Legacy Containers (OSLC) environment, see "Migrating GFS by Using OSLC" in "PRIMECLUSTER Global File Services Configuration and Administration Guide (Oracle Solaris 10)."
Note
The following function is not available in an OSLC environment.
IPv6 on a public LAN
