4. Managing Your Oracle Solaris Cluster Environment

This chapter covers many important aspects of an Oracle Solaris Cluster system’s lifecycle. It begins by outlining some of the planning you need to do prior to installing the Oracle Solaris operating system on a cluster node. Next comes information about how to secure your newly installed system against attack. The options for installing the Solaris Cluster software are then covered, followed by information about the day-to-day tasks involved in managing and monitoring the cluster. The chapter concludes by showing how to add support for new applications for which there is no third-party agent from Oracle or the application vendor.
