AIX White Papers

Quick Reference: AIX Logical Volume Manager and Veritas Volume Manager

Overview In the world of UNIX storage management, there are two primary leaders: IBM and Veritas. Both companies offer products that help UNIX system administrators manage storage in very flexible methods in comparison to older UNIX implementations. IBM offers the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) as part of its Advanced Interactive Executive (AIX) operating system. The LVM is built into the base operating system and is provided as part of the base AIX installation. Veritas offers the Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM), which is either packaged as a standalone add-on or part of a larger package such as the Veritas On-Line Storage Manager. This paper will help system administrators co-manage AIX systems from the LVM point of view.
