About Veritas Cluster Server in a Oracle VM Server for SPARC environment

Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) provides high availability (HA) for Oracle VM Server for SPARC. You can configure VCS to monitor the Logical Domain, services to the Logical Domain, and the applications that run in logical domain, or to monitor only the applications that run in the logical domain.

See About Veritas Cluster Server configuration models in an Oracle VM Server for SPARC environment.

Table: Veritas Cluster Server failover options for logical domain failure lists the failure scenarios and the VCS failover options based on which you can plan your VCS configuration in an Oracle VM Server for SPARC environment.

Table: Veritas Cluster Server failover options for logical domain failure

Failure scenario

VCS failover

Typical VCS configuration

Logical domains, their storage, or switches fail

VCS fails over the logical domain from one node to another node

VCS is installed in the control domain of each node.

See Veritas Cluster Server setup to fail over a logical domain on a failure of logical domain.

Logical domains, their storage, or switches fail

Or

Applications that run in logical domains fail

VCS fails over the logical domain from one node to another node.

The application starts on the same logical domain after the logical domain failover.

VCS is installed in the control domain of each node, and single node VCS is installed on each guest domain.

See Veritas Cluster Server setup to fail over a logical domain on a failure of Application running inside the logical domain or logical domain itself.

Applications that run in logical domains fail

Or

logical domain where the application is running fails

VCS fails over the application from one logical domain to another.

VCS is installed in the guest domain of each node.

See Veritas Cluster Server setup to fail over an Application running inside logical domain on a failure of Application.
