New Solaris Cluster!
- by Jeff Victor
We released Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1 recently. OSC offers both High Availability (HA)
and also Scalable Services capabilities. HA delivers automatic restart of software on the
same cluster node and/or automatic failover from a failed node to a working cluster node.
Software and support is available for both x86 and SPARC systems.
The Scalable Services features manage multiple cluster nodes all providing a load-balanced
service such as web servers or app serves.
OSC 4.1 includes the ability to recover services from software failures, failure of hardware
components such as DIMMs, CPUs, and I/O cards, a global file system, rolling upgrades, and much more.
