Solaris Cluster 3.1 8/05 and 3.2 or later now support the Sun Fire X4250 Server. This enterprise-class server is fast, expandable, and energy efficient, making it ideal for Web infrastructure, large single-app implementations, and multi-app consolidations. Since those environments need High Availability, the Sun Fire X4250 is a great platform to combine with Solaris Cluster for customers to deploy mission-critical solutions with high performance and service levels.

Solaris Cluster is a multi-system, multi-site disaster recovery solution that manages the availability of applications services and data across local, regional and vastly dispersed data centers. Solaris Cluster enables delivery of higher service levels, at lower service level costs, and reduced risk, making it an ideal partner for the Sun Fire X4250.

Now, customers can deploy the Sun Fire X4250 server in a Solaris Cluster environment in order to manage service levels and bring increased availability to application deployments.

Solaris Cluster uses the following licensing scheme:

• One server entitlement per physical system in the cluster. If a system has multiple domains, with some or all domains participating in same or different clusters, only one Solaris Cluster server RTU license is needed for that system.

• One agent entitlement per agent for the entire cluster.

• For Oracle RAC with VxVM configurations on SPARC: One Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) cluster functionality (aka CVM) license per Oracle RAC node if VxVM cluster functionality is being used for shared volumes. For Veritas a node is a Solaris image. So, a node is the same as a domain, or a server if there is no domaining included.
