Possible VxVM (v1.3) related operating system hang Running VxVM (version 1.3) as the volume manager on machines running under extreme memory pressure (such as very low memory or heavily loaded machines) may cause the operating system to hang. To avoid this issue: • • • Increase the system memory. Tune the system to avoid heavy loads and extreme memory pressure. Use LVM instead of VxVM as a volume manager. Limited support for ServiceGuard ServiceGuard is supported only on rx2600 and rx5670 systems.
