Veritas Cluster Agent. I think it's just a heartbeat / service starter & stopper basically.

We have two fiber interfaces on each of two servers running to two storage arrays.

Server1
FCAL1 --> Array 1
FCAL2 --> Array 2

Server2
FCAL1 --> Array 1
FCAL2 --> Array 2

No hardware RAID. Not good, but affordable. Received on Thu Feb 28 2002 - 17:10:27 CST
