I’m writing some training documentation for Veritas Cluster Server (VCS). Reading through my notes I was reminded of the ‘VCS Simulator’. You can import an existing cluster config into the Simulator and use the (Windows) GUI as if it was a live cluster, changing the config, faling things over etc. It’s just the ticket for a training aid, it’s just a shame there isn’t a CLI simulator.

You can download it here (needs a Symantec login) and there’s a Flash video explaining how to import an existing cluster here.
