Why Use GDS

The GDS has the following advantages over using either the SunPlex Agent Builder generated source code model (see scdscreate(1HA)) or the standard Sun Cluster administration commands:

• The GDS is easy to use.

• The GDS and its methods are precompiled and are therefore not modifiable.

• The SunPlex Agent Builder can be used to generate driving scripts for your application and these scripts are packaged in a Solaris-installable package that can be reused across multiple clusters.
