Configuring Data Services

A data service is the combination of software and configuration files that enables an application to run without modification in a Sun Cluster configuration. When running in a Sun Cluster configuration, an application runs as a resource under the control of the Resource Group Manager (RGM). A data service enables you to configure an application such as Sun Java System Web Server or Oracle database to run on a cluster instead of on a single server.

You can use SunPlex Manager to install and configure applications such as an Oracle® database and Sun JavaTM System Web Server (formerly Sun ONE Web Server) on the cluster.

With only minimal user input through Web-based wizards, SunPlex Manager can:

- Install the application binaries on all cluster nodes
- Edit the application's configuration files
- Configure the cluster to run the application
- Start the application in the cluster framework

SunPlex Manager provides limited configuration of data applications. You must have a thorough understanding of the data service before you use SunPlex Manager to install and configure your application. For additional information, see the Sun Cluster documentation set.

You can customize the installation and configuration of your application from the command line. For more information, see the Sun Cluster reference documentation.
