Veritas InfoScale Solutions configuration options for the kernel-based virtual machines environment
Veritas InfoScale Solutions products support the configurations listed in Table: Veritas InfoScale Solutions supported configuration options in the KVM environment. The configurations profiled in the table below are the minimum required to achieve the storage and availability objectives listed. You can mix and match the use of Veritas InfoScale Solutions products as needed to achieve the desired level of storage visibility, management, replication support using VVR, availability, and cluster failover for your kernel-based virtual machines (KVM) hosts and guest virtual machines.
