Hi The RAID5 log is used to recover from a double failure (Disk failure + sys crash). The RAID5 log is used to log all data and parity writes before committing them. Following a system crash the log will be replayed to the volume. There is a section in the admin guide: https://sort.symantec.com

One explanation is that you manually shut them down the zones whilst they are being monitored by VCS VCS could interpret that as a fault and start taking action. Try checking the resource states within VCS Cheers tony From: veritas-vx-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-vx

Hi If use_avid is enabled, the EBN disk name is generated using the Array Volume Id (in addition to the enclosure number) to provide a more meaningful name. In the original case, it should be using the device id's from the EMC array. Cheers tony From: veritas-vx-boun...@mailman.eng.au

Hi Both are mechanisms to provide speedy recovery in the event of a crash, but are for separate components. The Intent log is a VxFS component and a DRL is VxVM component. The VxFS Log replay is pretty much what you stated, a replay of transactions written in the log, avoiding a lengthy fsck Dirt
