If you google for it, you'll see that folks generally use very small storage blobs for quorum. &nbsp;On Sun HDS storage, I've use the smallest LUN device support by the array for quorum devices e.g. OPEN-E LUNs. &nbsp;I've seen other folks use devices as small as 50MB or even 20MB. &nbsp;The actual &quot;storage&quot; on your quorum device is actually ignored and never used. &nbsp;The quorum device must be shared and for clusters with more then 2 nodes must support SCSI-3 PGR. &nbsp;2 node clusters use PGRE. &nbsp;The PGR keys for all the nodes in the cluster are registerd onto the quorum device(s) in a private area outside of the actual data section of your quorum disk - as I recall that is.<br />

can anyone give me the info as to what SUN's recomendation is to be the &quot;Size of the Quorum drive&quot; for a SUN cluster?<br />
Please answer at the earliest. thankyou!

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
