Create and join cluster on Cluster Data ONTAP

Netapp is a powerfull storage coming with a lot of features. ONTAP is Netapp's proprietary operating system for storage disk array. ONTAP includes code from Berkeley Net/2 BSD Unix, Spinnaker Networks technology and other operating systems. ONTAP originally only supported NFS, but later added support for SMB, iSCSI and Fibre Channel Protocol (including Fibre Channel over Ethernet and FC-NVMe). 

In June 16, 2006, NetApp released two variants of Data ONTAP, namely Data ONTAP 7G and, with nearly a complete rewrite[1], Data ONTAP GX. Data ONTAP GX was based on grid technology acquired from Spinnaker Networks. In 2010 these software product lines merged into one OS - Data ONTAP 8, which folded Data ONTAP 7G onto the Data ONTAP GX cluster platform [source: Wikipedia]. 

ONTAP can be operated with web gui using Netapp System Manager and using Command Line Interface. Command line interface is the most interested interface in the computing world. You can manage, control and troubleshoot over command line. In this article, we will demonstrate the cluster creation and node join on this tutorial.

Configure Oracle Solaris Cluster Resource Group

Bellow these steps for how to configure the resource group. About the resource group concept, you can read at Oracle documentation at https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23623_01/html/E24500/toc.html

1. Register agent
    - Register HA Storage Plus Agent

    # clresourcetype register SUNW.HAStoragePlus

    - Register GDS Agent
   
    # clresourcetype register SUNW.gds

I have shared a 8 GB LUN as ISCSI block with ISCSI target is iqn.2016-05.org.freenas.ctl, I am using freenas. I am configured a freenas address at 192.168.100.131 with default port 3260. For initiator, I am allow all initiator connection and all authorized network. There was no CHAP authentication for the ISCSI connection, so everyone can connect over network connection.

This document is only provide technically setup Oracle Solaris Cluster. The install planning, install preparation is not provided by this document. This tutorial was a continued part from previous setup (part1). This installation mode is interactively, there were a step by step configuring your cluster for all nodes. Typically, you must prepare the Cluster name, Cluster nodes, Cluster transport and adapter, quorum configuration and check.
