Planning a Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability (SFCFSHA) configuration
The deployment example illustrates the recommended steps for installing and configuring SFCFSHA using CP servers. To achieve a successful SFCFSHA implementation on VMware, follow the recommended steps. Different versions of RHEL or ESXi may require different steps.
See the SFCFSHA documentation for additional information.
