Sun Clusters: Deploying best-practice cluster technology rapidly and safely.
-- Enterprise system and component failures: impact, cost, and avoidance.
-- Understanding the leading-edge Sun Cluster 3.0 software environment.
-- Designing high-availability enterprise systems: case studies and real-world scenarios.This is an authoritative, comprehensive introduction to designing highly available systems using Sun Cluster 3.0 software, Sun servers, software, and storage. This book focuses on themes that recur throughout all levels of system design for high availability, notably the relationships and failure modes associated with synchronization and arbitration. In the second section, the authors offer an in-depth description of the Sun Cluster 3.0 software environment and how it can be used to maximize availability. The book's third section presents hypothetical case studies showing how high-availability solutions may be designed utilizing Sun technologies. Appendices provide additional information on Sun technologies used in each leading cluster scenario; a detailed checklist for designing clustered solutions, and descriptions of failure analysis tools used by Sun systems designers.
