Regarding cfs and cvm in active active cluster

[allaboutunix]

Hello Team,

Could you please suggest any documents to learn cfs and cvm and fundamental of active active cluster.

Thanks..

For the CFS and CVM I'd recommend the CFS yellow book, it is slightly outdated (no FSS, Smart IO and others) but describes the concepts quite well: http://eval.symantec.com/mktginfo/enterprise/yellowbooks/b-cluster_file_system_tech_usage_20982271.e... - it is hosted by Symantec so it may go soon, make sure you grab it before the link dies

Once you are good with the concepts, go and register for https://www.veritas.com/elibrary and look up under the Storage Foundation group of trainings, there will be some about CFS

Just download sfcfs installation guide of the cluster version from sort.veritas.com.  In the installation guide, there is a section about upgrade OS.  Just follow the steps listed.

looks easy but it is not.  There is a good chance that you will end up cali g support for assistance.  Also make sure the new OS patch is competible with the VCS version (this info is in the operating system requirements section of the save guide)
