Abstract
This IBM Redbooks® publication can help you install, tailor, and configure the new IBM PowerHA® 7.2.7 product, and understand new and improved features such as migrations, cluster administration, and advanced topics like using Resource Optimized High Availability (ROHA); creating a cross-site Logical Volume Manager (LVM) stretched campus cluster; and running IBM PowerHA SystemMirror® in the IBM Power Virtual Server environment.
