Recording Your Cluster Configuration Information

Use this table to record the following information for each cluster that you will be configuring:

Note that clusters should span across multiple SPARC T4-4 servers for high availability, so if you are creating a cluster, and a zone in a Database Domain is a member of that cluster on one SPARC T4-4 server, then other zones that are members of that cluster should be in similar Database Domains on different SPARC T4-4 servers.

For example, assume you are creating a four-node cluster, where zone 1 in each Database Domain is a member of that cluster. To ensure high availability, this cluster should be created with the following zones as members of that cluster:

Note that the worksheet has entries for ten clusters, but you could have more than ten clusters in your SPARC SuperCluster T4-4, depending on the number of Database Domains that have zones that are members of each cluster, the size of the zones in each cluster, and so on. Copy the worksheet if you have more than ten clusters in your system.
