Has anyone setup a Veritas Cluster on 2 Solx86 VM's

[minkley]

Hi
Has anyone sucessfully setup a 2+ node Veritas Cluster on Virtualbox. I have 2 Sol 10 x86 vms and installed SF 5.0. I seem to be having problems with the heartbeats. Have tried llt on ether and udp devices.

Have not spent much time digging, but lltping and dlpiping both work.
tks

So I managed to get this to work. At first I was using the intel 1000 for the heartbeats - each on their own Internal network eg LLT1, LLT2, however when I brought them up, LLT complained of cross links. So initially I got it working with 1 public heartbeat and 1 private across 2 different drivers.

?
Network
Adapter 1: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (Host-only adapter, 'vboxnet0')
Adapter 2: PCnet-PCI II (Internal network, 'LLT1')

Hi,

Could you please let me know how you managed to make VCS work by installing it on "x86" boxes?

I tried the same thing on my VirtualBox, Solaris 10 system, 32-bit, VCS 5.0 MP3 (also tried VCS 5.0 without MP3).

Installation completed successfully. However, when starting VCS, it failed stating gab or llt failed.

Further digging shows that there is no llt kernel driver for 32-bit Solaris system.

So, how did you manage it to work?

Thank you in advance.

Hi VirtualDog, Iam facing the same Issues and wondering if somebody has done it before. Did you sort out the issue? If yes, can you share the solution. Thanks in advance

Hi, I just fixed it. This are the speps I did to get it working:

I changed the OS Version from Solaris to Solaris (64bit) in Virtualbox, then I booted both nodes. Once they were up I run"devfsadm -C" and "devlinks", I also checked it I got the llt and gab entries under /dev (/devllt and /dev/gab*). Now you have to restart llt and gab - I did the steps explained in link :http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/233032.htm to restart LLT and GAB. After I did all this everything worked fine and now I got a nice Test environment to play around with.

Good luck to everybody, hope this helped.

Regards
