Q14: What do I have to do if my Java ES installation will include Sun Cluster software?

Answer: Sun Cluster software is supported only on Solaris OS. Installing, configuring, and starting the components in the correct order is crucial for a successful Sun Cluster implementation. At least two installation sessions are performed on each node in the cluster. The following are the general tasks:

1. Install the Java ES Sun Cluster component.

2. Configure the Sun Cluster framework.

3. Install the additional Java ES components that are required for a component (agent) to operate in the cluster.

4. Configure the Sun Cluster data services using the agents for the relevant Java ES components.

To see the high-level installation tasks, refer to the installation sequence example in Sun Cluster Software Example in Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Guide for UNIX.
