Chapter 1 # Planning Your Installation To successfully install the Solaris operating system and the Foundation Services on your cluster, first choose an installation method best suited to your requirements. The Foundation Services product provides three ways to install the software on the cluster: SMCT installation. The SMCT enables you to generate a cluster configuration that can be installed and deployed on multiple nodes groups or on multiple clusters. You can install clusters containing master-eligible nodes and diskless nodes, or dataless nodes. Installation with the `nhinstall` tool. The `nhinstall` tool enables you to install the Foundation Services on a cluster. This tool is flexible and provides various configuration options that you can adapt to your requirements. However, the `nhinstall` tool only supports the installation of master-eligible nodes and diskless nodes. Manual installation. You can manually install the software on a cluster containing master-eligible nodes and diskless nodes or dataless nodes. Manual installation provides greater flexibility when installing components of the Foundation Services. However, a manual installation can result in a cluster configuration that is not easily reproducible on other clusters. For more information on choosing an installation method, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Overview.
