How This Book Is Organized

This book is divided into general sections that each cover a major installation topic. This includes cluster planning, cluster software installation and upgrade, and data services installation. Depending on the chapter, you may see only overview or task information, or a combination of both.

Most of the overview information about Sun Cluster is contained in the beginning chapters, and the other chapters provide step-by-step instructions on installation tasks to perform.

Each of the data service chapters contains information about installing and configuring the data service.

The appendixes include configuration worksheets, and information specific to different volume managers.
