Configuration Planning Questions

Use the questions in this section to plan the installation and configuration of Sun Cluster HA for Oracle. Insert the answers to these questions into the data service worksheets in the Sun Cluster 3.1 Release Notes.

• What resource groups will you use for network addresses and application resources and the dependencies between them?

• What is the logical hostname (for failover services) or shared address (for scalable services) for clients that will access the data service?

• Where will the system configuration files reside?

  See “Determining the Location of the Application Binaries” on page 3 of the Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Oracle for the advantages and disadvantages of placing the Oracle binaries on the local file system as opposed to the cluster file system.
