10.4.1 Archive and Version Resource Template

Novell Cluster Services includes an Archive and Version service resource template (AV_Template), that greatly simplifies the process for creating an Archive and Version service cluster resource. Much of the Archive and Version service cluster resource configuration is performed automatically by the AV_Template.
