However, you can also install the Apache Web Server from the Solaris 8 operating environment CD-ROM. See the section "Data Services Installation and Configuration Guide" of this document for more information.
Memory Requirements - Sun Cluster 3.0 requires extra memory above what is configured for a node under a normal workload. The extra memory equals 128 Mbytes + 10%. For example, if a standalone node normally requires 1 Gbyte of memory, you need an extra 256 Mbytes to meet memory requirements.
