Jorge,
I'm a little worried about your statement:
"...big application and to show that is faster in a cluster than a
single computer"
Solaris Cluster (SC) is primarily for availability. There are some
applications, like Oracle RAC and scalable web servers that can benefit
(scale up) from Solaris Cluster. However, most other applications simply
get better availability.
What application are you intending to test? I wouldn't want you to be
going down a 'blind alley'. Were you thinking more about High
Performance Computing clusters? If so, SC is not the right product.
Regards,
Tim
