Describe Oracle Solaris Cluster hardware and software.
Establish Cluster node console connectivity.
Prepare for the Oracle Solaris Cluster installation.
Configure the Oracle Solaris Cluster software.
Configure Oracle Solaris Cluster quorum devices and device fencing.
Use Cluster commands to administer global properties, quorum, disk paths, and interconnect components.
Configure volume management with ZFS and Solaris Volume Manager.
Manage the public network with IPMP and link aggregation (trunk aggregation or DLMP).
Describe resources and resource groups, configure a failover data service resource group (Network File System [NFS]),
and configure a scalable data service resource group (Apache), Advanced Resource Group Relationships.
Configure solaris10 branded zone, kernel zones, build zone clusters, migrate scalable application from global zone to
zone cluster.
Explore Oracle Solaris Cluster use cases.

Benefits to You
