Sun has some big news today from the Solaris Cluster team.
We're announcing the first support for Solaris Cluster on non-Sun servers. For those of you who haven't been paying attention, Solaris Cluster is the high availability platform for the Solaris OS.
Companies running Solaris 10 on non-Sun x86 hardware now have the opportunity to leverage Solaris Cluster to help automatically increase their overall system availability. Information about supported configurations, as well as the FAQ's are available via the Solaris Cluster Open Hardware Program.
The Solaris Cluster Open Hardware Program ensures seamless interoperability of third party server products with Solaris Cluster.What's really cool is that both Sun and the third party server vendors test configurations and both also respond to support calls.
Sun and HP customers now have the option of running Solaris Cluster on HP ProLiant DL385 G2 and ProLiant DL585 G2 servers. For a technical explaination of what Sun engineers Vishwanth Mantha & Matt Ostberg learned during the intial implementation of Solaris Cluster on HP servers check out this blog entry.
The Solaris Cluster Oasis blog is the place to go to read more technical blog entries and case studies from the Cluster engineering team. Recent posts have covered the quorum component, Solaris Cluster Express and Solaris Cluster support in LDoms I/O domains
