Cluster requirements

807567Dec 14 2005 — edited Dec 17 2007
I just need the minimal and cheapest configuration to learn Veritas Volume Manager and Sun Cluster features.I readed in Sun Cluster Admin Guide min. requirements are two nodes with 2 cpus each one and dont know if I can set up Clusters with two ultra 5/10 (each one only has 3 pci slots and 1 cpu).
I got two ultra 5, Im using Solaris 9, 512mb RAM, a PCI Qlogic SCSI controller ISP1040B with RJ45 connected to a SCSI DAT.The driver supports fast and wide SCSI and Fast-20 scsi devices.I neither know if I need to get RAID Manager to set up disk storage arrays before using Veritas Volume Manager and what kind of storage array need (A1000,D1000,T3), I guess the cheapest is D1000 but I don't know if it has RAID controller.I guess need Veritas (Sun Storedge) Volume Manager 3.0 or higher, and Sun Cluster 3.0 or higher, 2 disks storage arrays, SCSI controllers with Ethernet integrated prefered (by the fact an ultra5 only has 3 slots pci and I need at least 2 NICs to set up a cluster, and a Terminal Concentrator (or maybe can I use a ultra5 instead of Terminal Concentrator).

Could anyone help me to set up a little clusters lab?
