Hi Friends...

Could someone say whether Veritas volume manager Simulator for solaris is available in market or it can be downloaded from any were? Pls let me know the link.

I'm not sure what you mean by "simulator" in relation to VxVM. There is a "simulator" for Veritas Cluster. Do you perhaps mean an "evaluation" copy of VxVM? If so you should be able to get that from Symantec (which now owns Veritas).

You can download veritas foundation suite basic, which contains vxvm and vxfs, directly from semantics website. It is now under a free licence, so you can install onto solaris.
Note you can also install this onto vmware workstation running solaris 10, (so long as you are running a 64bit processor).
Just make sure that you either use the latest version of solaris or run the "install -precheck" first to check patch requirements.

What do you want to learn in VxVM, presumably with Solaris 10.

VxVM has a ton of features, and most people only use a few of them. Common tasks are :

* Configuring VxDMP policy's
* Creating concat diskgroups and volumes
* Data migration
* Resizing volumes and filesystems

Troubleshooting in my experience often requires a lot of in-depth knowledge especially when working with SAN's, a very fun area to be.
