Oh... I misunderstood that you are having fun monitoring cold failover cluster, not installing on it. 

Then indeed you have proper FUN. :)
I remember I had to install GC in March last year - DST adventure was much less explored back then. Consider yourself lucky now - be optimistic! ;-)

Yeah I've read those notes over so many times now that I've started dreaming about them. 

I've basically learned two lessons:
1. NEVER install grid control in March. No, I'm serious. (Hint: DST2007) 2. Don't try to do a silent install of Grid Control. The installer is more braindead then you can possibly imagine. 

I think a blog post is forthcoming...

I only saw the titles as I was searching for something else (metalink search is an odd beast, isn't it?). Anyway, I did a search for "failover grid control cluster" and there are about 8 articles in the first 25 hits that have some titles that may be applicable to failover clusters in general. As for AIX...you're on your own there. I can only relate anecdotes I've heard that AIX is the red-headed stepchild sometimes, and seems to suffer from an usually high proportion of platform- specific bugs. 

Good luck!
