My personal experiences with Veritas/Seagate is that there support is already spread too thin and has been for sometime. Getting Veritas software to work on AIX is not a benefit too me. Veritas purchase of tkg however does. I see tkg's support for TSM waning in the near future as supporting Veritas will be the priority.

They are jointly working on a project to port Veritas sftw to AIX. This includes Veritas's filesystem, volume manager, special DB filesystem, clustering sftw, etc. My understanding is that IBM has been pushing this, and that a joint team of some of the best from both companies are working on the port. It's supposed to be available in the not too distant future. Last week I attended a Veritas DR seminar. THe speakers always included AIX when they talked about supported platforms - "very soon". The way I heard it, IBM wants AIX to be much more of a mainstream Unix system. They see Veritas support as a big step in this direction, even if it competes with some of their own products. For companies that have standarized on Veritas sftw, AIX simply isn't an option today. I wouldn't worry about Veritas and support for BMR on AIX, but rather, a resource issue as Veritas expands BMR and being spread too thin to provide good support for existing platforms.
