About disk management

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

Note:

Most VxVM commands require superuser or equivalent privileges.

Disks that are controlled by the LVM subsystem cannot be used directly as VxVM disks, but they can be converted so that their volume groups and logical volumes become VxVM disk groups and volumes.

For detailed information about migrating volumes, see the Veritas Storage Foundation Advanced Features Administrator's Guide.

Veritas Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) is used to administer multiported disk arrays.
