Does anyone know what version of SunOS or Solaris supported clustering? Would like to build a sun cluster but don’t know how far back I can go.

Thanks in advance
 
Sun had multiple clustering solutions over the years - which product are you thinking of?
 
I don’t know to be honest. Like you have 2 systems and have them talking to each other duplicating storage like a database or shared storage.
 
Sun Cluster existed from release 2.0 through 3.1. Prior to that it was Solstice HA 1.x and with 3.2, it became Oracle Solaris Cluster. It didn't really find its sea legs until the 2.2 release.

For a brief moment, there was also Sun Cluster PDB specifically for parallel databases.

Sun Cluster 2.2 supported Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, and Solaris 8.

Like all things Sun Cluster, the nuts and bolts of what works with what gets really hairy.
 
Sun Cluster (up to 3.1, which is the last I was trained on, and outside of PDB) doesn't offer concurrent storage. It only offers standby/takeover.
 
Was the cluster software parts of the general OS install media or was it something that was purchased separately?
 
I may be able to help.

I have a new packaged Sun Cluster 3.1 8/05 that came with a "new old stock still on palett" V880 I purchased some years ago.
PM me.
