#SUN SOLARIS 10 DOWNLOAD X86 DVD ISO IMAGE UPDATE#
update the vm configuration file (Solaris 10 64-bit.vmx)
Now we need to make the virtual hosts aware of these virtual disks, you have to edit the both virtual hosts configuration file (sclus3 and sclus4), the file in my setup was located c:\Documents and Settings\vallep\My Documents\My Virtual Machines\sclus3\Solaris 10 64-bit.vmx and add the following, change the paths to reflect where you put the virtual disks. The two virtual disks that I created for this example are sc32disk1.vmdk and sc32disk2.vmdk (at the top), ignore the others these are for other clusters I have created (Solaris 3.1 cluster and Veritas 5.0 cluster) Repeat this process again so that we have two virtual disks to play around with. The next task is to setup the shared storage that will be access by all the nodes in the cluster, in the real world this world be a disk array or a SAN.įirst create two virtual disks using the vmware workstation software, I select one of the nodes then "edit virtual machine settings" node then select "add" -> select hard disk -> next -> create new virtual disk -> next -> select SCSI -> next -> select where you want the disk to be located, I created a separate directory that contains all my shared disks (see below)-> I created 0.5GB size disk and make sure you select the "allocate all disk space now" -> next, the virtual disk will now be created.

The next thing you should do is setup SSH so that both servers can access each other without the need for a password, I will leave you to google on how to do this as there are many documents out there for setting up SSH. Hopefully you should be able to ping all IP addresses of the other nodes within the cluster. The network setup should look something like below, again you would setup IP multipath groups to have resilience in the networking but I will leave this to google on how to setup IPMP up.

I will discuss creating resources and group later, but when you start the Solaris servers the disk setup should look something like below, in the real world you would now configure the Volume manager software be it Sun or Veritas to mirror root disks, etc but i am leaving this out and only concentrating on Sun Cluster. In the real world you would also create a separate /opt and a /var slice. Slice 7: used for Solaris Volume manager - 100MB Slice 1: swap - 1.5GB (normally double memory)
#SUN SOLARIS 10 DOWNLOAD X86 DVD ISO IMAGE INSTALL#
To install Solaris you can either use a burned iso image of Solaris on a DVD or use the iso image directly from your hard disk, just change the settings in CDROM and select "use ISO image" and point it to the Solaris 10 iso image file. Once you have configured the VM's its time to install Solaris in them, but first lets discuss what we need to install Solaris, Sun have a good data cluster worksheet that you can download fill in and use to configure your cluster. I remove any unnecessary hardware like the USB, etc. I selected the Solaris 10 64-bit make sure its the 64-bit as Sun cluster needs a 64-bit operating system. I will discuss how to add the shared storage later if you are wondering. Once you have installed VMware, configured two virtual machines as below (I called mine sclus3 and sclus 4), this was the minimum I could get away with without it being to slow.
