Solaris Cluster

System Requirements

The Solaris Cluster environment is built on the solid foundation provided by Solaris and Sun's hardware products and leverages close relationships with third-party vendors.


Hardware System Requirements
For every cluster node Minimum of 512 MB of physical RAM (2GB typical)
Minimum of 6GB of available hard drive space

Actual physical memory and hard drive requirements would be determined by the applications installed. Consult the application's documentation or contact the application vendor to calculate additional memory and hard drive requirements.
