Storage Foundation Cluster File System HA on VMware VMDK Deployment Guide
Storage Foundation Cluster File System (CFS) provides several advantages over a traditional file system when running in a VMware guest OS. The primary benefit is that multiple virtual servers (up to 64) using CFS can simultaneously access data residing on the same physical LUN or virtual disk.7.2KViews9likes5CommentsImplementing Solaris Zones with Cluster File System HA 6.0
Provided within this document are the steps necessary to create a highly available Solaris zone environment using Cluster File System HA 6.0. Additional content includes advanced provisioning techniques using Storage Foundation Space Optimized Snapshots, instant roll back procedures using File System Checkpoints as well as patching techniques designed to help elevate some of the operation2.9KViews2likes6CommentsMicrosoft’s Shared Virtual hard Disk consumption for VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS)
Introduction The objective of this white paper is to describe VERITAS Cluster Server (VCS) support for Microsoft¡¦s shared VHDX feature in a Hyper-Virtual environment. To use the information given in this white paper you must have essential knowledge of administrating VERITAS cluster Server2.3KViews2likes0CommentsAvoiding Service Interruption with I/O Shipping Technology
One of the new features that has been introduced within Storage Foundation Cluster File System HA 6.0.1 is I/O Shipping. This new feature improves resiliency across Cluster File System nodes reducing downtime and improving resiliency. I/O Shipping is about being able to ship I/O from one cluster node to another when a problem in the I/O path occurs.1.5KViews7likes6CommentsVeritas Storage Foundation in a VMware ESX Environment: Linux and Solaris x64 platforms
Introduction This paper describes how to configure and use Veritas Storage Foundation in a VMware ESX environment. Because most features in Storage Foundation are supported in a VMware environment, this paper focuses on the features that work differently in a VMware environment and why certain features are not supported.1.3KViews4likes4CommentsAchieving Zero RPO in VMware Environments with Campus Cluster Features
Implementing fast recovery scenarios outside a single data center may become complex when using VMware environments. Most customers love the idea of using Data Stores as the way to provision storage to the Virtual Machines.1.2KViews6likes1CommentMultinode clustering: N+1 is not the same as N-to-1 (and it matters!)
"The devil is in the details" is certainly true for multinode clustering. More and more enterprises are turning to multinode clustering for their high availability architectures to save on hardware costs, increase overall utilization, and reduce management headaches. But exactly how clustering is implemented makes a big difference in the value you get from it.1.1KViews1like0Comments
