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.
Solaris Zones and SFHA cheatsheet
Solaris 10 ZONES: =============== Zones provides a means of virtualizing operating system services, allowing one or more processes to run in isolation from other activity on the system. A zone is a "sandbox" within which one or more applications can run without affecting or interacting with the rest of the system.Implementing 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 operationInfoScale Availability using Veritas Cluster Server I/O Fencing Architecture Guide
Executive Summary I/O Fencing provides protection against data corruption and can guarantee data consistency in a clustered environment. Data is the most valuable component in today’s enterprises. Having data protected and therefore consistent at all times is a number one priority.Microsoft’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 Server
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). Both RHEL 6.4 and RHEL 6.5 require an upgrade to the Storage Foundation 6.0.3 maintenance release and the installation of Veritas File System (VxFS) hot fix 6.0.300.300. (See TechNote 203099 and TechNote 214270.) Using YUM as described in this guide lets you install the Veritas Storage Foundation base product packages as well as all the necessary updates and patches from a central Yum repository in one step, without the need for multiple calls to the product installer.Avoiding 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.
VCS support for Oracle Solaris Kernel Zones
Oracle Solaris introduced kernel zones feature in Oracle Solaris 11.2, which provides the flexibility, efficiency and isolation of Oracle Solaris Zones while adding the capability for each kernel zone to run in an independent kernel. Each kernel zone running on a host can be at a different kernel level and be updated individually.
