mx dynvolume – dynamic volume commands
Use the following commands to create, recreate, extend, or destroy dynamic
volumes, to display information about dynamic volumes, and to convert basic
volumes to dynamic volumes.
Create a dynamic volume:
mx dynvolume create [--stripesize <4KB-64MB>] <subDevice ...>
You can use either spaces or commas to separate the subdevice names.
List subdevices available for use in a dynamic volume:
mx dynvolume showcreateopt
Display properties for a dynamic volume:
mx dynvolume properties <volumeName>
Show all dynamic volumes:
mx dynvolume list
Extend a dynamic volume:
mx dynvolume extend <volumeName> <subDeviceName ...>
You can use either spaces or commas to separate the subdevice names.
Delete a dynamic volume:
mx dynvolume destroy <volumeName>
A filesystem cannot be mounted on the volume to be deleted. This
command also deletes the filesystem and any persistent mounts for it.
Convert a basic device to a dynamic volume:
mx dynvolume convert <filesystem>
