Planning and Documenting an HA Cluster
Chapter 4124
• CVM and VxVM Planning
• Cluster Configuration Planning
• Package Configuration Planning
The description of each planning step in this chapter is accompanied by a
worksheet on which you can optionally record the parameters and other
data relevant for successful setup and maintenance. As you go through
each step, record all the important details of the configuration so as to
document your production system. During the actual configuration of the
cluster, refer to the information from these worksheets. A complete set of
blank worksheets is in Appendix G.
NOTE Planning and installation overlap considerably, so you may not be able to
complete the worksheets before you proceed to the actual configuration.
In cases where the worksheet is incomplete, fill in the missing elements
to document the system as you proceed with the configuration.
Subsequent chapters describe configuration and maintenance tasks in
detail.
