This issue has been solved. See solution.

Dear All,

I'm a bit confused on what all components are covered in Storage Foundation. Does it cover VCS, VVR etc. Basically the point here is how exactly is the Storage Foundation Family classified.

Would really appreciate if you could elaborate this in detail.

Storage Foundation (SF)

Storage Foundation (SF) includes Volume Manager (VM) and Filesystem (vxfs).

Volume Replication (VVR) is part of VM, but needs a VVR licence to use.

Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA) is SF + Veritas Cluster Server (VCS)

SF and VCS are independent so you can use either without the other.

VVR cannot be used without VM as it is part of VM.

I believe this information is

I believe this information is clearly documented & well explained in SF install guide ..

For e.g lets pick SF 5.1 install guide for solaris :

Also its worth to read out the release notes for any version, that explains the recent changes made to the product:
