What is the advantage of Installing VSF for Windows on a virtual machine.
Hi ,
Can someone pls tell me what advantage I will be getting If I install VSF for Windows on a virtual machine running Windows 2008.
Just curious to know.
Thanks in Advantage.

Although this document is focused on UNIX & Linux, there is significant parity between the two platforms -benefits wise- under a VMware/Virtual Machine context. That being said, if you are considering other VM technologies such as Hyper-V, the SFW support with 6.0 is substantial. You will need to ignore any reference to VxFS, CFS or CDS as those are UNIX Specific technologies. The main tenets for the most part however are platform agnostic.
Data Mirroring with Site Awareness
Non Disruptive Array Migrations
VVR and FlashSnap Options (As Wally Mentioned Above)
Consistent Storage Management across all platforms with VOM (Veritas Operation Manager)
RDM or in-guest MS iSCSI Initiator support.
Hope this helps,
