Description
In this book, IBM and Lotus insiders demonstrate exactly how to make the most of Domino 5's exceptionally powerful clusters to maximize both availability and scalability. The authors cover every phase of clustering: planning and design, installation and configuration, day-to-day management, troubleshooting, and more. Learn how to use Domino R5's new Internet Cluster Manager (ICM) to extend failover and load balancing capabilities to Web browsers, enhancing the reliability of any Web applications. Coverage also includes: clustering multiple servers in cross-platform environments; clustering combinations of R5 and R4.5 servers; deploying multiple clusters in a Domino domain; including partitioned servers within clusters; and spanning multiple LAN segments to create campus-wide clusters. Many examples utilize Windows 2000, but this is the only Lotus Domino R5 clustering guide that also provides full coverage of clustering in Linux environments.
