Hi Laura, Sorry that it took so much time for you to get an answer. > What does this involve, will I need another server that will house > the Console access device. Sun Cluster Manager is a web-based management interface so there is no software to be installed outside of the cluster. With regards to licensing for Solaris Cluster Only the nodes/servers running the core Cluster software require a license/entitlement to run cluster. There is no major difference between an Sun Cluster server entitlement fee and a Sun Cluster server license. It corresponds to a legal wording change when SC 3.2 was released. For SC 3.1 you purchase a Sun Cluster server license and you get a license paper. For SC 3.2 you pay Sun Cluster server entitlement fee but you won't get a paper. Your invoice is the proof. I hope it helps. Eve -- -- Eve Kleinknecht Solaris Cluster Product Marketing Sun Microsystems sun.com/cluster
