    Hi,

     I had a basic question regarding partiton creation
    when a storage array is connected to a server.
     Assuming a E45K is connected to couple of A5200s
    would you need to have veritas , Disksuite or such
    similar software for creation required
    partitions/volumes.
     Cant we do the same with format option of solrias?
     Is the only advantage of software like Veritas that
    they help you create logical volumes which can mix
    disks from different disk arrays. I assume the other
    benefit is software level RAID features offered by
    veritas.
     Cant this be acheived by hardware RAID contollers for
    the disk arrays and creating partitions on storage
    array with format command

    Regards,
    Hrishi.
