The Veritas Installation Assessment Service (VIAS) utility assists you in getting
ready for a Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions installation

You can configure both SNMP and SMTP notifications for VCS. Symantec
recommends you to configure one of these notifications. You have the following
options:
Configure SNMP trap notification of VCS events using the VCS Notifier
component
Configure SMTP email notification of VCS events using the VCS Notifier
component.
See the Veritas Cluster Server User s Guide.
Global clusters provide the ability to fail over applications between geographically
distributed clusters when disaster occurs. You require a separate license to
configure global clusters. You must add this license during the installation. The
installer only asks about configuring global clusters if you have used the global
cluster license.
