However, once reconnected, the physical server from which they get their applications and data is transparent. Increases availability of applications, file, and network services for employees, customers, and partners. Because there is no concept of logical host in Sun Cluster 3.0, services need not reside on servers physically attached to storage devices. This means that service failover does not require storage device or file system failover. Provides management flexibility as well as minimizes failover time.
Administrators have access to all system management tools from any system in the cluster.
Sun Cluster 3.0 API Sun provides a list of qualified Scalable and HA Agents. If an application does not have a qualified agent, system administrators can use the Sun Cluster 3.0 API or agent builder to cluster-enable the application to run as an Scalable or Failover Service. Protects investments while ensuring higher availability. Eight-Node Support Sun Cluster 3.0 supports up to eight nodes in a single cluster. All rights reserved.
