back from the netheregions
And a ton of deployments. There has been considerable inroads with leveraging zones in a cluster. Features like exclusive-ip and storage within the zone just makes dataservices/agents inside zones to be forthcoming. Always consult other blogs for how-to's and don't try to incorporate new features until they're supported or qualified.
Also think of using Sun PS for a turnkey delivery when it counts. Too many times over the years have we gone onsite where the cluster was configured *almost* correctly; but the "almost" was the piece causing the crashes and pain. Even if you've had considerable administration and deployment experience; you can craft an agreement that ensures proper delivery without the risks of "self-deployment." Then you'll have a blueprint that you can scrutinize and then decide if you want to take on later.
