6. Preparations Before Starting (Cluster System)
This chapter explains the preparations before starting ITSLM in a cluster system, including installation, setup, and user settings. This chapter also explains optional preparations, such as linking with JP1/IM to report monitoring results by a means such as email, linking with Performance Management to monitor hosts and middleware providing services, and how to migrate to a cluster system.
The cluster systems considered in this chapter are node switching systems whose purpose is to achieve high availability (HA), not cluster systems whose purpose is load distribution.
