pg_ctl reload does work in this case. HOWEVER, if you do something that
could cause trouble to the cluster (i.e. a pg_hba.conf change that breaks
connectivity), this could cause veritas to try and failover. It's
recommended that you test your changes to avoid these scenarios.

Technically however, pg_ctl reload works just fine, just don't break
anything :)
