8.4Veritas File Server Edition
Veritas markets a UNIX/NT integration product called File Server Edition that runs on Sun SPARC Solaris servers. File Server Edition consists of the Veritas File System, Veritas Volume Manager, Veritas Quicklog, and Samba.
Veritas File Edition literature does not reference file locking capabilities. However, since it is essentially Samba bundled with other Veritas products, we can reasonably conclude that the file locking behavior is similar to CIFS/9000 (which is based upon Samba 2.0.6), minus the planned enhancements.
Based upon Samba documentation, Veritas provides the following file locking ability:
