VxVM siteconsistent feature
I had a query on VxVM site-consistent feature. I have "Veritas Storage Foundation Basic" product installed and I am using mirroing with site consistent feature (mirror=site). On documentation, till release 5.0, this chapter "Administering sites and remote mirrors"was present in Storage Foundation Admin Guide. Now the same chapter has been moved to "SFCFS Admin Guide". I am assuming the with only "Storage Foundation" too, site-consistent feature is supported. Please correct me is I am wrong. Thanks,
