Ah, ok that explains it. Prior to an OS release, Solaris Cluster will not be
"supported" on it. While this seems intuitively obvious, the Office of Sales
Prevention and Customer Disatisfaction insists upon promoting this fact :-(
Solaris Cluster engineering tracks new Solaris releases very closely and will
have support ready at release. Internal to Sun (and Sun partners) is the
authoritative tome, "Sun Cluster 3 Configuration Guide," which contains the
list of what is "supported." This is updated about once per month. But I'm
not sure how that information is communicated externally... probably not well.
It seems as though many docs say something like "ask your local Sun
representative."
In the long term, the Open HA Cluster community should be more responsive.

It should be there.
