DiskSuite or Veritas Volume Manager

With regards to Solaris 8,

I plan to use DiskSuite to create a few 0+1 volumes for our new database server. Any reason for me to consider Veritas Volume Manager instead?

We have an E5000 running Solaris 2.6 with Veritas Volume Manager 3.2, we are only using it for 0+1 volumes(vxfs). No snaphosts, fast I/O or any other bells and whilste of VM are being used.

Don't see any reason why disk suite would not meet your needs.

Hi,You've already got volume manager, so why not use it? If you install ODS as well as VXVM, you're just complicating the setup of the machine.You've got veritas already installed, just use this!

Agree with previous post. If you have VM installed, and are comfortable with it, continue to use it. No sense in making life more complex by adding redundant software to your system.
