Hi all,
I am looking after the storage infrastructure made of a large set of point solutions and I need to streamline our storage activities on the host layer.
We have a lot of LVM flavors: Storage Foundation for Windows(SFW), Solaris SVM + ZFS, Linux Red Hat LVM, Windows LDM 2k3+2k8, VMware VMFS, etc...
As storage administrators, I think we all face the same baseline activities on the host:
BAU Quadrant:
Storage Commission ----------- Storage Decommission
Storage Allocation ------------- Storage Reclamation
Advanced:
Snapshots, migration, correction, replication, etc...
I am looking for a comparison matrix like this one (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_volume_management) that is listing the different Logical Volume Managers and their functionalities.
The key results are around the functionalities that can be done 'online', like file system expand and shrink....
if anyone has this info, please share!! (I am building one as well...)
