Notes
The
New Dynamic Disk Group task requires a dynamic disk group name, the name of at
least one disk, and must be done on the CVM master node.
The dynamic disk group name must be unique.
The new dynamic disk group must contain at least one disk.
Only disks that are online and do not belong to a dynamic disk group can be used to create a
dynamic disk group.
The Volume Manager disk name must be unique within the dynamic disk group.
If multiple disks are specified in the Disk Device(s) field and only one disk name is specified
in Disk Name(s) field, VxVM appends numbers to the disk name so that each disk name is
unique within its dynamic disk group.
