About the Virtual Appliance:
Transforming AVAILABILITY SOLUTIONS through virtualization.
Sun Java™ Availability Suite, Cluster Configuration.
Today, applications and data are accessed around the clock and around the globe, forcing nearly every business to implement some level of service availability, be it simple server clustering or full-scale disaster recovery solutions mandated by federal regulations. Sun understands that each application within a data center has different needs and offers a full spectrum of high availability options with the Sun Java™ Availability Suite, the industry’s premier high availability (HA) and disaster recovery solution supporting the largest portfolio of agents (50+) for applications, as well as arrays from major storage vendors including Sun. With Sun Java Availability Suite, enterprises have a choice of high availability solutions to best meet their business needs.
Single-Node Cluster
For applications that can tolerate some downtime, or for cost-effective geographic clustering, a single-node cluster can be utilized. A single-node cluster takes advantage of Sun™ Cluster failover agents to automatically restart applications on the same server, providing higher availability than an server without Sun Cluster software. Single node clusters are also helpful for development, test, and pre-production environments to validate operational planning prior to live production.
Details
• Sun Cluster software running on a single node for automatic application restart.

Host Machine Details:
Hardware : P-IV with 512 MB RAM, 8 GB HDD, 1 NIC, 1 CDROM, 1 FDD.
Instructions:
1. Make sure that the host machine running VMware workstation version 5.5 has adequate hardware as mentioned under Host Machine Details
section above.
2. Unzip SingleNodeSolaris9ClusterVirtualAppliance.zip
3. Folder "Solaris 9 (experimental)" and a text file "GettingStartedGuide.txt" will be extracted.
4. Open "Solaris 9 (experimental).vmx" file located under folder "Solaris 9 (experimental)" using VMware Workstation version 5.5 and power it
on.
5. Login as root with password solaris9 when prompted as "solarisn1 console login:"
6. Upon successful login at "#" prompt, run command /usr/cluster/bin/scstat -n
7. Output of the command should be as described follows:
-- Cluster Nodes --
Node name Status
--------- ------
Cluster node: solarisn1 Online
8. This confirms that the virtual appliance is up and running successfully.
9. That's all...! You are done. A single node solaris 9 X86 cluster is up and running (base platform is ready). You can deploy your solaris 9
X86 based cluster-aware application on top of it and start testing.
