What is VxVM?

Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) is a logical volume manager that provides a layer of abstraction between the operating system and physical disks. It allows administrators to create and manage logical volumes, which can span multiple physical disks. VxVM is commonly used for disk aggregation, mirroring, striping (RAID-0), and RAID-5 functionality, providing improved performance, data redundancy, and storage management capabilities. It is often used in conjunction with Veritas File System (VxFS).
