Overview
Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) is a storage management subsystem that allows you to manage physical disks as logical devices (volumes).
Applications and operating systems detect VxVM volumes as physical disks where file systems, databases, and other hosted data objects are configured.
VxVM provides a powerful and easy-of-use online disk management function on the computing environment and SAN. It has the following advantages:
- Independent RAID models
- Enhanced capabilities of fault tolerance and quick fault rectification
- Logical volume management layers across multiple physical disks
- Tools that improve performance and ensure data availability and integrity
- Dynamic storage configuration for disks when the system is active
