    This IBM Redbooks publication can help you install, tailor, and configure the new IBM

    PowerHA Version 7.2.7, and understand new and improved features such as migrations,

    (ROHA), creating a cross site LVM stretched campus cluster, and running PowerHA System

    Mirror in the IBM Power Virtual Server environment.
