Introduction
This module describes the Sun Cluster software installation, and verifies the framework is configured correctly. This module also demonstrates key SC 3.0 features using the specific implementation to highlight Sun Cluster advantages. Throughout the procedure, key practices will be identified, and standard installation methods will be followed, ensuring each installation implements consistent practices, procedures, and documentation.
This BPLAB module requires a specific implementation of hardware and software. It is expected that the key practices and installation methods documented, herein, will be used for the majority of all cluster installations. For example, our configuration follows standard Sun Cluster installation practices, and implements best practices for administering a two-node cluster. SC 3.0 U3 will be installed, and a cluster will be formed, prior to configuring shared disks or data services.
