Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) allows you to place disks under VxVM control, to initialize or encapsulate disks, and to remove and replace disks.

Disks that are controlled by the Sun Microsystems Solaris Volume Manager software cannot be used directly as VxVM disks, but the disks can be converted so that their volumes become VxVM volumes.

The dynamic multipathing (DMP) feature of VxVM is used to administer multiported disk arrays.
