It was a tough one. A real tough one. However, finally, our little Dell Server (described below) PE1800, is up and running. Replacing it’s old 5 years old predecessor. It was a living hell, but it allowed me vast experiments with wider range of technologies, better combined solutions, and newer, more mature approach to system…

Only short while afterwards I’ve been asked to add VxVM to the configuration. I’ve added it, and installed it using Veritas install scripts….
