Setting up I/O fencing
Symantec recommends you to set up the I/O fencing feature to prevent data corruption in the event of a communication breakdown in the cluster. Make sure that you do the following before you set up I/O fencing:
-
Install a version of Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) that supports SCSI-3 persistent reservations.
-
Verify that the disks you intend to use for shared data storage and for coordinator disks support SCSI-3 PR (Persistent Reservations).
