Preface

Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition Installation Guide contains guidelines for planning an Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition (Geographic Edition) configuration, and provides procedures for installing, configuring, upgrading, and uninstalling the Geographic Edition software.

This document is intended for experienced system administrators with extensive knowledge of Oracle software and hardware. You should have already determined your system requirements and purchased the appropriate equipment and software before reading this document.

The instructions in this book assume knowledge of the Oracle Solaris Operating System and Oracle Solaris Cluster software, expertise with the volume manager software that is used within Oracle Solaris Cluster software, and the data replication software that is used with the Geographic Edition software.

Bash is the default prompt for Oracle Solaris 11. Machine names shown with the Bash shell prompt are displayed for clarity.
