The following are the requirements for providing high availability of the virtualization environment:

• Install VCS on the management LPAR. For each physical server, you can have only one management LPAR running VCS.

  Refer to Symantec Cluster Server Installation Guide - AIX

• Review the settings of the virtualization environment for which you want to provide high availability

  Refer to Symantec Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions Virtualization Guide - AIX

• Symantec recommends that you set the autorestart attribute of the managed LPARs to false, to allow VCS to control it.

• Ensure that SSH communication with management LPAR, is enabled on HMC

• Enable ApplicationHA capabilities for underlying VCS.

  Refer to Symantec ApplicationHA User's Guide - AIX on IBM PowerVM
