[SunHELP] Veritas VM help connecting to an ESS?

[Tim Bingham]

Andrew,

I tried putting a sleep in as well as a couple other hacks to delay 
vxvm startup, but everything happened in the same order, just later. 
Everything, including discovery of the disk, just happened later with 
the same results.

Thanks,
Tim
