IDS & Solaris Veritas Volumn Manager

OK, I know I know almost nothing about Veritas. All I knew was that is let us put more 2GB slices on a disk than whatever the older way was, and in this era of large disks that was a Good Thing. Now I've found out that when it detects a disk problem it moves the contents of that slice to another bit of disk. That leads me to wonder how much IDS knows about volumn manager - especially since the mail for 'root' has stuff like the following in, implying it actually knows quite a lot: >From root Sun Jun 24 11:00:59 2007 Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2007 11:00:58 +0100 (BST) From: Super-User <root> Message-Id: <200706241000.l5OA0w104833@www.houstest.gov.uk> To: root Subject: Volume Manager failures on host testhse2 Content-Length: 58 Recovery complete for volume id-02 in disk group rootdg. We have symbolic links to the complicated long names in /devices that IDS uses - I suspect those do not get altered so still point to the old suspect bit of disk. Correct? Thankfully we don't have RAID5 - or if we did it was the customer's IT department's bright idea made without consulting me - we should have mirroring. Final question: Veritas notifies root via mail. We should not have access to that, so does anyone know a URL explaining how to get the stuff mailed to a different user (one we use a lot) so that we know when this sort of caper is going on? I know the customer and their IT should be able to answer this, but.... TIA
