Chapter 7: Configure Dynamic Volumes 55
Available Subdevices: The display includes all imported subdevices
that are not currently in use by another volume and that do not have a
filesystem in place. The subdevices that you select will be used in the
order in which they appear on the list. Use the arrow keys to reorder, one-
at-a-time, the appropriate subdevices and then highlight those
subdevices.
Striping: If you want this volume to use striping, check the “Enable
striping” checkbox and then select the size of the stripe. Although the
default stripe size of 64KB should be adequate for most applications and
hardware configurations, you may need to use a different stripe size for
your particular circumstances.
Click either OK or APPLY to create the volume. (APPLY keeps the
window open, allowing you to create additional dynamic volumes.)
When the dynamic volume has been created, the HP CFS Management
Console reports the psv name assigned to the volume. On the
Management Console, filesystems are identified with the psv name of the
dynamic volume on which they are located, as shown below.
To create a dynamic volume from the command line, use the following
command:
mx dynvolume create [--stripesize <4KB-64MB>]
<subDeviceName,subDeviceName,...>
