Veritas Volume Manager for Red Hat

vikas027 · 11-24-2010, 10:03 PM

Dear All,

I want to practice Veritas Volume Manager on my CentOS 5.5 x86_64 machine.

Thus, I have downloaded the appropriate package i.e. Storage Foundation and HA Solutions 5.1 SP1 for Linux Red Hat from here.

I believe this is the 60 day trial version.
Does anyone know if it has some limitations also in this 60 day period ? Forgive my ignorance, I am new to Veritas.

Hi,

there are no other limitations except the software will stop running if you reboot after 60 days.

hi vikas027, I always wanted to get hands on with veritas but I don't have the enterprise hardware. Can you work with it on a vmware centos?

Yes, you can work provided you have a 64 Bit Machine (64 Bit Windows) plus 64 Bit Veritas software i.e. Storage Foundation and HA Solutions 5.1 SP1 for Linux Red Hat
You can download it from here.

If you have 32 bit architecture, you can also download Storage Foundation and HA Solutions, RHEL4 for 32-bit, v4.1 But this is old version. I recommend the latest version if you are trying a new thing.
