Achieving High Availability with Oracle and VMware: VCS 6.0.2
Last week Veritas Cluster Server 6.0.2 for Linux(and 6.0.1 for Windows) was released with new features to allow application failover in VMware environments.

Single-Step Deployment of Veritas Storage Foundation High Availability 6.0.3 on RHEL 6.4/6.5 Using Yum
This deployment guide explains how to install and configure Symantec Storage Foundation and High Availability products on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems using the Yum package manager. Special focus is on the RHEL 6.4/6.5 version, as these require a multi-step installation process using Symantec’s Common Product Installer (CPI).
