John,

re your suggestion to ask the vendors about the Veritas File System,
both Sun and Hitachi said that the Veritas VxFS filesystem is not portable across servers. Thus a Sun server cannot read an VxFS file system on an HP server. We cannot, therefore, backup a SAN shadow-image of a Veritas Volume holding VxFS for HP to a Sun backup server as the Sun server cannot mount the file system.
