For Solaris 10, one will need to purchase AVS. It was not until OpenSolaris, that AVS became bundled. Also the OpenSolaris version will not run on Solaris 10. > Assuming 1, if we setup a home-made IP fail-over so that; should 01 go > down, all clients are redirected to 02. > > > 2) Fail-back, are there methods in AVS to handle fail-back? Yes, its called SNDR reverse synchronization, and is key feature of SNDR and its ability to create DR site. > Since 02 has > been used, it will have newer/modified files, and will need to > replicate > backwards until synchronised, before fail-back can occur. SNDR supports on demand pull, which means that once reverse synchronization has been started, the SNDR primary volumes can be accessed. In addition to the background resilvering of difference, those blocks requested "on demand", will be included in the reverse synchronization. > We did ask our vendor, but we were just told that AVS does not > support x4500. AVS works with any Solaris blocks storage device, independent of platform.
