■ Each of the coordinator disks must use a physically separate disk or LUN.

■ The coordinator disks must support SCSI-3 persistent reservations.
■ Symantecrecommends usinghardware-basedmirroring forcoordinator disks.
■ Coordinator disks must not be used to store data or must not be included in
disk groups that store user data.
■ Coordinator disks cannot be the special devices that array vendors use. For

You must set the I/O fencing mode to SCSI-3.
You can configure the vxfen module to use either DMP
devices or the underlying raw character devices. Note that
you must use the same SCSI-3 disk policy on all the nodes.
