Implementation

The Agent installation and operation in the HACMP environment includes the procedures

and functions involved in typical single-node Agent operation. It also involves

customizations to the HACMP environment itself. In addition, there are several areas

where the interaction of these two software packages can produce unique exceptions to

ordinary performance of either HACMP or the Agent separately. It will always be

necessary to customize the installation parameters and operational limitations to ensure
