Verifying the cluster software

Because machines running the Solaris operating system can support different cluster software, sp_companion includes the show_cluster option, which you can use to define the cluster software your machines are currently running.

If you are running Veritas Cluster Server, you must specify this with sp_companion.

The syntax is:

sp_companion companion_server_name 
[show_cluster]
[set_cluster ["SC-2.2" | "VCS-1.3.0"]]

To change the machine to use the VCS subsystem:

sp_companion MONEY1, set_cluster, "VCS-1.3.0"

00:00000:00013:2001/03/14 16:24:08.82 kernel  HA Config:High Availability Basis
Services loaded: version 'lite_build/Adaptive Server Enterprise/12.5/B/Sun_svr4
/OS 5.8/main/1/32-bit/DEBUG/Mon Mar 12 11:10:13 2001'.
00:00000:00013:2001/03/14 16:24:08.82 kernel  The current cluster is set to: 5
The current cluster is set to VCS-1.3.0.

The machine now uses the VCS subsystem.

NoteDo not run sp_companion set cluster to change the cluster type when Adaptive Server is configured for normal companion mode.
