Memory

2 GB of memory.

CPU

A minimum of 2 CPUs.

Node

Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability supports mixed cluster environments with Solaris 10 SPARC operating systems as long as all the nodes in the cluster have the same CPU architecture.

Shared storage

Shared storage can be one or more shared disks or a disk array connected either directly to the nodes of the cluster or through a Fibre Channel Switch. Nodes can also have non-shared or local devices on a local I/O channel. It is advisable to have /, /usr, /var and other system partitions on local devices.

Fibre Channel switch

Each node in the cluster must have a Fibre Channel I/O channel to access shared storage devices. The primary component of the Fibre Channel fabric is the Fibre Channel switch.

Cluster platforms

There are several hardware platforms that can function as nodes in a Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability (SFCFSHA) cluster.

See the Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability Release Notes.

For a cluster to work correctly, all nodes must have the same time. If you are not running the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon, make sure the time on all the systems comprising your cluster is synchronized.
