About the Veritas High Availability Configuration wizard

The Veritas High Availability Configuration wizard can be used to configure applications that use active-passive storage. Active-passive storage can access only one node at a time. Apart from configuring application availability, the wizard also sets up other components (for example: networking, storage) required for successful application monitoring.

Before you configure an application for monitoring, you must configure a cluster. You can use the VCS Cluster Configuration wizard to configure a cluster. Refer to the VCS Installation Guide for the steps to configure a cluster.

You can use the Veritas High Availability Configuration wizard to configure the applications listed in Table: Supported applications.
