windows veritas volume manager question
Hello, We normally add RDM to windows server and configure the disks in VxVM and VCS, when we go to deivce manager in windows it will show the device name with vendor. One of the server Windows admin created the disks using Spanned Dynamic without VxVM. After that I can't see the device name in device manage it shows vmware virtual device. Is some thing normal ?

Tricky Volume Group cration question
Hello, We would like to have 2 RDM attached to a VM. Is it possible to keep same volume group name ? The reason why I'm asking is that. SAN team will do the frame base copy time to time from RDM1 to RDM2 so I can't have different volume group name, metadata (Private region) will be overwritten when SAN team do the copy. For the project purpose some times I need to mount RDM1 or RDM2 using VBS. Is it possible to do?
