Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) by Symantec is a storage management subsystem that allow us to manage disks as logical devices called volumes. A VxVM volume appears to applications and the operating system as a physical disk partition device on which file system, databases and other managed data objects can be configured.
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.
VxVM overcomes physical restrictions imposed by hardware disk devices by providing a logical volume management layer. This allow volumes to span multiple disks.
VxVM provides the tools to improve performance and ensure data availability and integrity. We can also use VxVM to dynamically configure disk storage while the system is active.
