Planning your CP server setup
Follow the planning instructions to set up CP server for server-based I/O fencing.
To plan your CP server setup
1
Decide whether you want to host the CP server on a single-node VCS cluster,
or on an SFHA cluster.
Symantec recommends hosting the CP server on an SFHA cluster.
2
If you host the CP server on an SFHA cluster, review the following information.
Make sure you make the decisions and meet these prerequisites when you
set up the CP server:
■ You must configure fencing in enabled mode during the SFHA
configuration.
■ You must set up shared storage for the CP server database during your
CP server setup.
