Figure A–7 illustrates the cluster configuration the example configuration uses. The secondary cluster in the example configuration contains one node, but other cluster configurations can be used.
Table A–2 summarizes the hardware and software that the example configuration requires. The Solaris OS, Sun Cluster software, and volume manager software must be installed on the cluster nodes before Sun StorageTek Availability Suite software and patches are installed.
