Veritas FlashSnap Point-In-Time Copy Solutions 5.0.1 Administrators Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, November 2009

■ Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) is a high-availability (HA) solution for cluster
configurations. VCS monitors systems and application services, and restarts
services on a different cluster node (failover) in the event of either hardware
or software failure. It also allows you to perform general administration tasks
such as making nodes join or leave a cluster.
Note: On HP-UX, MC/ServiceGuard may be configured as the cluster monitor.
■ Veritas Clustering Functionality for VxVM (CVM) allows multiple hosts to
simultaneously access and manage a given set of disks that are under the
control of Veritas Volume Manager.
■ Veritas Cluster File System (CFS) allows cluster nodes to share access to the
same VxFS file system. CFS is especially useful for sharing read-intensive data
between cluster nodes.
If a backup solution is required, the following Veritas software is recommended:
■ Symantec NetBackup™ DataCenter provides mainframe-class data protection
for corporate data centers. NetBackup DataCenter allows you to manage all
aspects of backup and recovery, and allows consistent backup policies to be
enforced across your organization. Optional NetBackup ServerFree Agents
enhance NetBackup DataCenter to provide data protection for frozen image
data such as VxVM snapshot mirrors. They can also be used to offload backup
processing to NetBackup media servers or third-party copy devices over Fibre
Channel networks.
■ Symantec NetBackup BusinesServer provides protection for small to
medium-size server installations. It does not provide integrated support for
backing up VxVM snapshot mirrors or for offloading backup processing.
However, you can use it to back up snapshot volumes that have been created
from snapshot mirrors.
