For information about planning a high-availability deployment, including assessing hardware requirements, planning network configuration, and selecting a topology, see the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 Deployment Planning Guide. This manual also provides a high-level introduction to concepts such as:

• GlassFish Server components such as node agents, domains, and clusters

• IIOP load balancing in a cluster

• Message queue failover

For more information about developing applications that take advantage of high availability features, see the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 Application Development Guide.

For information on how to configure and tune applications and GlassFish Server for best performance with high availability, see the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 Performance Tuning Guide, which discusses topics such as:

• Tuning persistence frequency and persistence scope

• Checkpointing stateful session beans

• Configuring the JDBC connection pool

• Session size

• Configuring load balancers for best performance
