The Solaris Cluster team today contributed over 2 million lines of source code to the open source community, completing the promise we made almost one year ago to open source the complete Solaris Cluster product under the name, Open High Availability Cluster.

Visit [http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac/|http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac/] for the source code and more information.

Listen to a [podcast|http://blogs.sun.com/barton808/entry/open_ha_cluster_whole_enchilada] with Meenakshi Kaul-Basu, Director of Availability Products.

Read the official [press release|http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2008-05/sunflash.20080529.2.xml].

Details:

Solaris Cluster is Sun's High Availability Cluster offering:

The Solaris Cluster open source code base is called [Open High Availability (HA) Cluster|http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac/].

Open HA Cluster is part of OpenSolaris, available in the HA Clusters Community Group on OpenSolaris.org.

The Open HA Cluster source code is available under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL).

This source code release is the third of three phases announced one year ago. See the original [press release|http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2007-06/sunflash.20070627.1.xml].

Phase 1, on June 27, 2007, contained the source for almost all the Sun Cluster agents. See the [current list of open source agents|http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac/Documentation/Agents/open-agents/].

Phase 2, on December 4, 2007, included the source for Sun Cluster Geographic Edition disaster recovery software.

Phase 3, announced today, and delivered six months ahead of schedule, contains the source for the core Solaris Cluster product, consisting of over 2 million lines of source code!

The open source code does not include some encumbered Solaris Cluster source code. Nonetheless, users can build a completely usable HA Cluster from this source with Sun Studio 11.

Also available is source for parts of the Solaris Cluster Automated Test Environment (SCATE), source for the Solaris Cluster man pages, and source for Solaris Cluster Globalization (G11N).

[CTI for TET|http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/testing/testsuites/ctifortet/], which is part of the SCATE test infrastructure, has been separately open sourced on the testing community under the Artistic License. This framework supports both Solaris Cluster and ON test suites.

In addition to the source code, there is a binary distribution of OHAC, called [Solaris Cluster Express (SCX)|http://opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac/Documentation/SCXdocs/SCX/], that runs on Solaris Express Community Edition.
