[Veritas-bu] AIX or not
2004-10-27 11:02:02
I lean away from AIX as well. I havent had tons of
issues, however when weve had to call ibm for support,
its been awful. i have a ticket open that theyve
rerouted several times and havent come close to a
solution... sure other vendors have done similar to
others, we just have had this bad luck with ibm alone.
we use solaris for master/media and its been fine...
