To answer your questions.....  

  1. Ideally, yes, though they don't need to be.
  2. Absolutely. Veritas will get very unhappy if it loses access to those disks
  3. SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation. When a node "malfunctions", another node will issue a SCSI-3 reservation against the 3 coordinator disks. When the broken node tries to access those disks (as it does every few seconds normally) it will be rejected and the box will panic (I'm pretty sure it panics - test it)

Feel free to email me off-list if you have any other questions.  

Thanks,
Matt

Sorry all my message got hacked here is the first paragraph
 
Going through the Veritas installation guide  (pg 47) and I have a
question on the required 3 LUN creation needed to support RAC for
Veritas DBE/AC, when setting up Disk Coordinator:


laura pena <lizzpenaorclgrp_at_yahoo.com> wrote: 

- Configuration - Should each of these 3 LUN be on seperate disks?
- What is the smallest LUN that Hitachi 9570V can be? I guess I can ask
our rep if no ones knows.
-Should these LUNs be mirrored? 
- Coordinator disks are used to support IO fencing can anyone elborate
how this happens?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Lizz
