This answer I've been waiting, but please do not get me wrong, I'm thankful for that.
Of course I'm a beginner in this topic, because of that I try to carry Information about it.
I'm aware that there is no general statement to give, when I asked "how to build a cluster".
It don't have to be a cluster for thousands of people with just more than 500 nodes, just for institut (15 - 20 user). But before it can be built, used .... Someone have to inform. And this is my part. I'm searching for sources to inform, unfortunately there are less sources, respectively I don't find them.
My intention is to begin at point zero of the hpc-topic and then to make gradually steps to the wright direction. For that I have hardware to test to build a "little" cluster to get first experience.
The goal of the entire project is to decide, whether to built the needed cluster on my own. As always, the point is to save costs.

clinfo
clinfo(1M) System Administration Commands clinfo(1M)
NAME
clinfo - display cluster information
SYNOPSIS
clinfo [-nh]
DESCRIPTION
The clinfo command displays cluster configuration information about the node from which the command is executed.
Without arguments, clinfo returns an exit status of 0 if the node is configured and booted as part of a cluster. Otherwise, clinfo returns
an exit status of 1.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-h Displays the highest node number allowed to be configured. This is different from the maximum number of nodes supported in a given
cluster. The current highest configured node number can change immediately after the command returns since new nodes can be dynami-
cally added to a running cluster.
For example, clinfo -h might return 64, meaning that the highest number you can use to identify a node is 64. See the Sun Cluster 3.0
System Administration Guide for a description of utilities you can use to determine the number of nodes in a cluster.
-n Prints the number of the node from which clinfo is executed.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
1 An error occurred.
This is usually because the node is not configured or booted as part of a cluster.
