Volume Manager Restrictions and Requirements

• If you use Enclosure-Based Naming of devices (a feature introduced in VxVM version 3.2), ensure that you use consistent device names on all cluster nodes that share the same storage. VxVM does not coordinate these names, so it is up to the administrator to make sure that VxVM assigns the same names to the same devices from different nodes. While failure to assign consistent names will not interfere with correct cluster behavior, it will greatly complicate cluster administration and greatly increase the possibility of configuration errors, potentially leading to loss of data.

• If you use VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) 3.1.1 or higher, the path to the man pages has changed from /opt/VRTSvxvm/man to /opt/VRTS/man.
