A blog post on the Oracle TechNetwork by J. Randriam describes the installation procedure for a 3-node Sun Cluster 3.2 01/09 or Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 (or later) configuration running with Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC)/Cluster Ready Services (CRS) 11.1.0.7 and a Sun ZFS Storage 7120 System. Contents of the post include:
Initial Preparation on the Sun ZFS Storage 7120 Using the CLI
Creating NFS Filesystems Using the Sun ZFS Storage 7120 CLI
Accessing the NFS Filesystems From the Cluster Nodes
Accessing the iSCSI LUNs From the Cluster Nodes
Adding a Quorum Device
Configuring Oracle RAC / CRS in the Cluster
The author notes that, while the 7120 was used in this configuration, the procedure should be applicable to the entire Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage series.
