My last customer configuration, Solaris 10, RAC + Veritas SFRAC was
suggested by an Oracle Consulting guy. He actually said,
Use Veritas instead of Clusterware
!!

I have just worked with a big enterprise customer using this configuration
and Oracle actually bends backwards to help them out. They have meetings
with the "VOS" team every month and during all the node evictions they had
more
than a year ago because of incorrect values of css misscounts etc.. they
were
never told to de-install Veritas.
A Monte I also believe you should also check that the oproc daemon is not
running
since you have Veritas managing the cluster and the css misscount is set
to a high
value like 900 seconds.

When I was working with 10gCRS+VCS - we disabled autostart of CRS
resources that we wanted to control from VCS. We than had to write our own
VCS agents that monitored status of resources based on CRS command line
utilities This is the approach Oracle was ready to support after somewhat
long discussions.
Regarding support requesting to reproduce the problem without vendor
clusterware. I didn't experience that but I can believe this might be a
dirty trick of support.
Just an example - at some point we even got together on the "round table"
with support from 3 sides - Veritas, HP and Oracle. Of course, that's won't
happen for regular issues and relatively small customers but big enterprises
can get enough support if they know where to push.
