Shared Data Clusters: Scaleable, Manageable, and Highly Available Systems (VERITAS Series) by Wiley

Well structered, provocative reference work

A well researched reference, providing solid basis of evaluating most issues surrounding clusters and the supporting/participating infrastructure. Naturally some of the more complex subjects are not always discussed in as much detail as you would like - but that was not the purpose of the book. Good value for money, highlighting most issues.

Book for the beginners

I felt this book was more like a beginners guide to Cluster Concepts and Veritas products. You would be disappointed like me if you are in quest for any greater knowledge on configuration of Veritas / Oracle Clusters or any tech details.

It would served better if this book was titled CLUSTER IN SEARCH OF STOARGE. I guess author would agree with me on this.
