# Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide # Preface The Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Custom Installation Guide explains how to install the Netra™ High Availability (HA) Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 on the nodes of a cluster. Nodes of a cluster can be master-eligible nodes, diskless nodes, or dataless nodes. You can install the Netra™ High Availability (HA) Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 using the `nhinstall` tool or by manually installing the software. This book describes installation using the `nhinstall` tool and manual installation. The `nhinstall` tool enables you to install master-eligible nodes and diskless nodes. To install a cluster with dataless nodes, you must manually install the software on these nodes. ## Who Should Use This Book This book is for system integrators and operators that install the Foundation Services. To install the Foundation Services, you should be familiar with the process of installing the Solaris operating system. ## Before You Read This Book Read the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Overview for an overview of the product. ## How This Book Is Organized Part I, Planning to Install Your Cluster describes the methods that you can choose to install the software on your cluster.
