Ken,

Appreciate the input, but am still not clear on this:

Are you referring to HP's optional product called 'Online JFS' which is
purchased (from HP) separately from base JFS which comes standard with
HP-UX 10.x?  HP's Online JFS product supports On-line volume resizing as
well as other features not supported by base JFS.

Or is there a (similar) product for HP-UX which can be purchased
directly from Veritas that you are referring to?

Bottom line:  Will ADSM support any JFS (VXFS) file system that comes
with HP-UX or that can be purchased from HP?

Thanks!

Steve
