Yes, Veritas can, easily. If your HBA's can already see the devices attached on both boxes, you're most of the way there.

It might help if you gave details like version/distro of Linux, kind of HBA's, etc., but a simple Veritas setup can easily be handled by their tech support, which you're paying for. EMC support can also help you
