Quorum/Witness Server Kit

v9.0 – v9.3.2

The IBM Storwize V7000 (Firmware Version 6.3.0.1) has been certified by partner testing using iSCSI (iscsi-initiator-utils6.2.0.872-34.el6.x86_64) with DMMP (device-mapper-1.02.66-6.el6, device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-46.el6). The test was performed with LifeKeeper for Linux v7.5 using RHEL 6.2.

Restriction: IBM Storwize V7000 must be used in combination with the Quorum/Witness Server Kit and STONITH. See the online documentation for the LifeKeeper version that you are using for more information.
