A what?  What does it do?

[Shaakunthala: ] Veritas is a high availability clustering software by Symantec. My  actual requirement is to integrate JIRA with Veritas and run in high availability mode. And, JIRA is only supported on Tomcat.

An agent is a component which monitors the application and perform the failover whenever a problem occurs.

Symantec want me to accept some kind of license agreement before looking at their website, which as I'm disinclined to use my time doing, I can't see what you're referring to.

[Shaakunthala: ] Sorry about that. I found it on Wikipedia [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veritas_Cluster_Server ].
Veritas clustering agents are available for Apache, JBoss and few other open source software as well. Wondering why there's no agent for Tomcat. Perhaps it's Symantec's job to develop the agent?

Perhaps you could explain what it is, what you're trying to achieve, give us a bit of context and then we can help.

Yup.
I have not heard of their solution before.
