Preface

The guide contains guidelines and procedures for installing and configuring Oracle's StorageTek ACSLS-HA 8.3 Cluster software on both Solaris SPARC-based systems and x86-based systems.

ACSLS-HA 8.3 is specifically designed to support ACSLS 8.3 on Solaris 11 with ZFS file systems. This version supports ACSLS software installation in any user-defined file system.

ACSLS-HA 8.3 will not run on Solaris-10 systems. If your installation requires Solaris 10 or UFS file systems, you can use ACSLS-HA 8.2.1 with ACSLS 8.3.

Audience

This document is intended for experienced system administrators with extensive knowledge of Oracle software and the volume-manager software that is used with Oracle Solaris Cluster software.

This document offers moderate background information for most of the technologies that are used and it provides guidance for the standard anticipated installation procedures. However this document alone does not replace an implied requirement for Unix system familiarity and expertise.
