Installing and configuring Veritas Cluster Server for virtual machine and application availability
To set up a virtual guest environment with Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) after installing KVM:
Install VCS.
Configure VCS.
The installation and configuration of VCS inside a KVM guest is similar to that of the physical system.
No additional VCS configuration is required to make it work inside the guest.
