The SFHA Solutions 6.0.1 release introduces the following:
SFHA Solutions for Linux now supports:
- Kernel-based virtual machines (KVM) in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) environments.
- Virtual to virtual (in-guest) clustering
- Enhanced support for Fusion-io ioDrive and ioDrive2: TRIM operations are supported for Fusion-io devices for Red Hat Linux 6.0 (RHEL6) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES 11). Veritas File System (VxFS) and Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) use the TRIM operations to free up the blocks that do not contain valid data and improve solid-state drive (SSD) performance. The TRIM capability is similar to to thin reclamation, and is performed with the same commands.

- Fusion-io ioDrive and ioDrive2 cards for DMP.
- Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC (SF Oracle RAC) non-global zones. Using SF Oracle RAC, you can start, stop, and monitor a non-global zone and provide high availability to Oracle RAC instances inside the non-global zone.

Virtual Business Service (VBS) now supports the following features that were previously supported only through Veritas Operations Manager (VOM):
- Auto discovery of IP addresses for inter-cluster communication: VBS automatically finds the working IPs of all the other hosts which are part of that VBS, removing the need to run csgconfig to set the VIPs or to set the VIPs in a multimode cluster.
- Automatic start and stop of VMware virtual machines from the command line interface (CLI).
For more information, see:
VBS documentation for all platforms and releases can be found on the SORT website.
