The below configuration will be the initial design for an email application.
The first V880 server to N+ luns (base volumes) will be for Email.  The
second V880 server will be used to backup the N+ luns (snapshot volumes).
Each server will use Veritas VxVM and VxFS to map across ~20 Raid-5 (4+1)
luns.

I am looking for "Specific" information on "Process of How to maintain VxVm
/ VxFS integrity when using D178 Snapshot with VxVM and VxFS as described
below?"   I.e. process for metadata and file-system inodes, etc.

No input needed on how to configure the D178 hardware/layout.   I have ALL
the LSI documents/training cd/ snapshot whitepapers/etc. needed.

Regards and Thank you for your time,


P.S. - I respectfully request only responses from actual hands-on
experiences with like or similar (sva) configurations.  Thanks!!
