Configuration Planning Questions

Use the questions in this section to plan the installation and configuration of Sun Cluster HA for Alliance Gateway. Write the answers to these questions in the space that is provided on the data service worksheets in Configuration Worksheets in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS.

• Do you have a SWIFTNet connection and an Internet connection? The installation requires a secure server from SWIFT.

• Do you have your Alliance Gateway license key? If not, retrieve this information.

• Do you have your Alliance Gateway installation documentation? If not, refer the documentation available in the Alliance Gateway CD-ROM.

• Before you run Sun Cluster HA for Alliance Gateway as a failover data service, answer the following questions:

  • Which resource groups will you use for the Alliance Gateway application resource and the logical host name resource?

  • What is the logical hostname for the Alliance Gateway resource? Clients access the data service through this logical hostname.

• Where will the system configuration files reside?

  See Configuration Guidelines for Sun Cluster Data Services in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS for the advantages and disadvantages of using the local file system instead of the cluster file system.
