Thanks Vincent.  That was basically the response I got from Symantec so
I was wondering if there was anyone with other experiences.

Subject: Re: [rhelv5-list] Question: VCS tuning on RHEL5


Hi Maarten,

        I don't think there are any specific tunables for VCS on Linux
but 
I mean VCS -only-. However, if you are using SFHA (VCS+VxVM+VxFS) then 
there tunables for vxfs, vxvm and DMP. The same holds true for other VCS

platforms. I use SFHA on some RHEL 5 platforms and aside from carefully 
planning the SAN, we had no need to tune anything.

        You might want to seek out the 'Best practices' for VCS on Linux

by talking to Symantec, othwerise the general Best Practices for VCS 
apply: use 100-FDX links for Heart-Beat links unless using CFS or Oracle

RAC in which case you'll want 1Gbps links for HB's, use VVR for 
geo-clusters, etc...

Vincent
