Overview
Direct from Sun's Enterprise Engineering Group, this book delivers a complete framework and best practices procedures for implementing Sun Clusters. From the fundamentals of constructing and configuring clusters, through administration, high availability database deployment, and custom application development, the book provides authoritative, modular coverage for every Solaris enterprise architect, administrator, and developer.The authors introduce the fundamental concepts underlying high-availability systems infrastructure, including hardware, software, mathematical formulas, and best practices at both the single-node and data center levels. The book contains detailed guidance on the key issues associated with architecting clusters, including capacity, performance, and availability issues and interconnections. The book includes a detailed chapter on deploying highly-available databases in clustered environments, covering installation and configuration and data service agent monitoring. There are chapters on Sun Cluster 2.2 application development, as well as data services leveraging Sun Cluster 2.2's Data Services API. The book concludes with a preview of Sun Cluster 3.0's global file services, scalability solutions, and powerful new cluster configurations.
