Hi,

I have two nodes set up with Sun Cluster 3 and wish to set up the shared
storage. I have the following disks.
Disk Pack 1 - c1t2d0 through c1t5d0 and c1t8d0 through c1t9d0 6 x 4Gb
disks
Disk Pack 2 - c2t3d0 through c2t5d0 and c2t8d0 through c2t11d0 6 x 4Gb
disks + 1 x 2Gb disk (c2t11d0)

Using smc, when I go to Enhanced Storage, it sits their waiting
indefinitely, which I think maybe due to SVM not being able support
clustered volume management. Is that right?

I would like to set up my disks as below. Please give me some help

c1t3d0, c1t4d0, c1t5d0 = 3 disk stripe VolumeA
c2t3d0, c2t4d0, c2t5d0 = 3 disk stripe VolumeB

Additionally I would like each volume to be associated to a particular node
by default, but have the ability to failover to the other. Is this possible
using SVM or do I need something like VxVM. How do the nodes handle volume
information between themselves in the abscense of a cluster wide volume
manager.

My apologies if this sound like school boy stuff, but Solaris isn't my
primary skill set and I am very much learning.

Thanks for your help.

Nick.
