hi guys, can someone give me a brief breakdown of the
differences between veritas stuff (like volume manager i
guess) and vcs clustering? Im kinda confused as what the
2 are. is it backup stuff ? or is it failover software ?

Veritas Volume Manager is a 3rd party software used to confgure and manage a disk array. VCS clustering allows for wide-area data recovery.

Veritas Volume Manager is used to Manage one or multiple disks. Veritas Filesystems (vxfs) is used to convert (ufs) except / or to create vxfs filesystems instead of ufs, vxfs provides journaling also. Veritas VCS, is used for failover of 2 like machines. Veritas Netbackup, well you guessed it, is used for backups to tape or disk array
