single node cluster in VCS5.1 using SMF services to start VCS in Solaris 10
Hi,
I am using VCS5.1 and start/stop of llt, gab, fencing and vcs are controlled using SMF services in Solaris 10. Appendix E of the install guide outlines how to install a single node cluster. This appendix is only valid where llt, gab and vcs are started using start scripts. There is no detail on how to start a single node cluster using SMF. gab SMF service depends on llt and vcs SMF service depends on gab so its not possible to start a single node cluster without modifying the manifest file for the vcs SMF service and removing the dependancy on gab. Is this an oversight by Symantec on 5.1 ? There should be a supported method documented for SMF

Peter,
Sounds like there might be a documentation omission.
SFHA 5.1 ships with a manifest for single node VCS in /etc/init.d.
If you import the single node VCS manifest (/etc/init.d/vcs-onenode.xml) into SMF you should be able to do what you want without starting LLT and GAB.
