VeritasTM 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. A VxVM volume appears to applications and the operating system as a physical device on which file systems, databases and other managed data objects can be configured.
