• Memory Requirements – Sun Cluster 3.1 software requires extra memory beyond what is configured for a node under a normal workload. The extra memory equals 128 Mbytes plus ten percent. For example, if a standalone node normally requires 1 Gbyte of memory, you need an extra 256 Mbytes to meet memory requirements.

• RSMAPI –Sun Cluster 3.1 software supports the Remote Shared Memory Application Programming Interface (RSMAPI) on RSM-capable interconnects, such as PCI-SCI.
