Do I need to consider any special client needs or restrictions for use with a cluster?
Client systems connect to the cluster as they would any other server. In some instances, depending on the data service application, you might need to install client-side software or perform other configuration changes so that the client can connect to the data service application. See individual chapters in Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Data Services Installation and Configuration Guide for more information on client-side configuration requirements.
