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. Additionally, VxVM provides features that enhance fault tolerance and fast recovery from disk failure or storage array failure.

  • Hot swapping
  • Storage area networking
  • Multihost access
  • Multipath access
• Identify storage configurations by:
  • Conducting a physical inventory
  • Displaying storage configurations
  • Identifying controller addresses
