I'm building a lab environment to install Netbackup over VCS and I wonder which option should I go with SFHA or SFCFCHA.

what is the pros and cons of each option?

I would go with InfoScale, because it's the current version of the product.

You will get a faster failover with CFS/CVM at the expense of greater complexity, which may or may not be a requirement, also I would confirm with Veritas what they exacly going to support, as per the NBU SCL, CVM is only listed as supported storage stack for HPSG, not VCS.

Hello Mouse?

Is NBU Cluster supported on GPFS filesystem ?

If shared filesystem is on GPFS (spectrum Scale)?

thanks for the reply, you maen that i have to install info scale with Enterprise option SFCFSHA to have CFS/CVM otherwise it may not be supported by veritas as per the SCL.

I don't see GPFS being supported as a storage stack on Linux, it's all in the SCL

You don't need cluster file system for NBU Service group because it's a Failover group not Parallel. SFHA  (InfoScale Availability) should be enough.
