But for indefinite 'Sustaining Support' I like to point out from the mentioned document (version Sept. 2011) on page 5:
Sustaining Support does NOT include:
* New program updates, fixes, security alerts, general maintenance releases, selected functionality releases and documentation updates or upgrade tools
* Certification with most new third-party products/versions and most new Oracle products
* 24 hour commitment and response guidelines for Severity 1 service requests
*Previously released fixes or updates that Oracle no longer supports
This means Solaris 10 9/10 update9 is the last qualified release for Sun Cluster 3.1. So, Sun Cluster 3.1 is not qualified on Solaris 10 8/11 Update10. Furthermore there is an issue around with SVM patch 145899-06 or higher. This SVM patch is part of Solaris 10 8/11 Update10. The 145899-06 is the first released patch of this number, therefore the support for Sun Cluster 3.1 ends with the previous SVM patches 144622-01 and 139967-02. For details about the known problem with SVM patch 145899-06 please refer to doc 1378828.1.
Further this means you should freeze (no patching, no upgrade) your Sun Cluster 3.1 configuration not later than Solaris 10 9/10 update9. Or even better plan an upgrade to Solaris Cluster 3.3 now to get back to full support.
