3 node cluster

Later this summer, I will need to establish a 3 node cluster using Windows
2003 and SQL Server 2K using Veritas Cluster Server software. I don't have
any experience setting up a 3 node cluster, only a 2 node cluster using
MSCS.
What are the primary differences between a 2 node MSCS cluster and a Veritas
3 node cluster?
I was having difficulty finding tech bulletins, etc. specifically using 3
node clusters on Veritas. Does anyone have any good links on this subject?
TIA

MSCS Clustering and Veritas Clustering are two different technologies
independent of one another. If you have more then 3 nodes in either of these
solutions you will be using SAN for your shared storage. Through you SAN
software you are able to zone and create storage groups who have access to
our LUNS. Veritas Clustering supports the use of Dynamic Disk where MSCS
Clustering does not. One key thing to keep in mind is Microsofts support
policy for SQL failover clustering. Please read MS KB 327518.
