That makes no sense to me as well. I don't know a whole lot about the
product but from what I understand AIX's LVM does the same thing for free.
That's just overkill.

I can't believe that its is better than LVM on AIX. Plus LVM comes with AIX
for no additional charge!!

I have used Veritas on Solaris and can say this is a good thing. When it
comes to storage/file system management, Veritas sets the standard.

fwiw,

Hi, All.

I just found out from a recent redbook that Veritas Foundation Suite,
the LVM function typically used on Solaris, has been ported to AIX
apparently with some kind of blessing from IBM. I couldn't tell from the
description why this is supposed to be a good idea, other than possibly
making my AIX and Solaris machines all look alike:.) has anybody out
there had any experience of this product on AIX? if so, why?

TIA
