This manual serves as your starting point for using PRIMECLUSTER. It explains the workflow of the series of operations from installation to operation management of the PRIMECLUSTER system. Since the PRIMECLUSTER system comprises multiple features, there are several other manuals besides this one for each feature. However, by reading this manual first, you will be able to perform the series of operations because this manual refers readers to other manuals that contain feature-specific information that is necessary for the operations.
This manual also provides a functional overview of products that are supported by the PRIMECLUSTER system and describes operation procedures.
This manual only covers the basic operation of PRIMECLUSTER. For operations using different hardware and software configurations, see "Related Documentation".
The table below shows the operation flow from PRIMECLUSTER installation to the start of operation management and indicates the reference location in this manual for each operation.
PRIMECLUSTER system operation flow | Reference location in this manual | |
