To fail over an application from one virtual machine to another, it is mandatory to store the application data on storage shared between the two virtual machines. In an OVM environment, Veritas has tested application failovers with the application data residing on:
Local disks
Shared Network Attached Storage (NFS)
Shared iSCSI SANs: abstracted LUNs or raw disks accessible over existing network infrastructure
Fibre Channel SANs connected to one or more host bus adapters (HBAs)
VCS in-guest clustering continues to provide high availability of applications on virtual machines, in live migration scenarios initiated by the virtualization technology.
