Chapter 4 Planning and Documenting an HA Cluster

Building a Serviceguard cluster begins with a planning phase in which you gather and record information about all the hardware and software components of the configuration.

This chapter assists you in the following planning areas:

Appendix F “Blank Planning Worksheets” contains a set of blank worksheets which you may find useful as an offline record of important details of the configuration.

	NOTE: Planning and installation overlap considerably, so you may not be able to complete the worksheets before you proceed to the actual configuration. In that case, fill in the missing elements to document the system as you proceed with the configuration.

Subsequent chapters describe configuration and maintenance tasks in detail.
