4.1.0 HP PolyServe Matrix Server administration guide (T5392-96073, October 2010)

NOTE:
If you selected a subdevice that is associated with an unimported volume, you will
see a message reporting that the subdevice contains a volume signature. The message
asks whether you want to destroy the affected unimported dynamic volume and reuse
this subdevice in the new volume you are creating.
Be sure that you do not need the unimported dynamic volume before doing this.
If the unimported volume associated with the subdevice is in a “duplicate” state, the
attempt to destroy the volume will fail. See “Unimportable volumes” on page 98 for
more information.
When the dynamic volume has been created, the PolyServe 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.
You can use either spaces or commas to separate the subdevice names.
mx dynvolume create [--stripesize <4KB-64MB>] <subDevice ...>
The following command lists the available subdevices:
mx dynvolume showcreateopt
Dynamic volume properties
To see the configuration for a dynamic volume, select Storage > Dynamic Volume >
Volume Properties and then select the volume that you want to view. If a filesystem
is associated with the volume, the Volume Properties window shows information for
both the dynamic volume and the filesystem.
