Veritas Volume Manager
Course Overview
Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) is a storage management subsystem that allows you to manage physical disks and logical unit numbers (LUNs) as logical devices called volumes. VxVM provides easy-to-use online disk storage management for computing environments and Storage Area Network (SAN) environments. By supporting the Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) model, VxVM can be configured to protect against disk and hardware failure, and to increase I/O throughput. The Course details include
– Administering Dynamic Multi-Pathing
– Administering volume snapshots
– Administering Storage Checkpoints
– Administering FileSnaps
– Creating and mounting VxFS file systems
– Managing devices
– Administering snapshot file systems
