that relate to striping. A suitable choice would be the mirrored_data_striped_clones
storage pool set described on page 175. To create these storage pools within a disk group, you
would use the following command:
# vxpool -g diskgroup organize mirrored_data_striped_clones
The section, “Creating a Storage Pool” on page 36, describes the alternate way of creating storage
pools in a disk group.
Listing Storage Pool Sets
A storage pool set defines the storage pool types for a data storage pool and for the clone storage
pools that are used to hold snapshots of the data storage pool’s volumes.
To list all the available storage pool sets, use the following command:
# vxpool listpoolsets
For a list of supported storage pool sets, see “Storage Pool Sets” on page 175.
Displaying Storage Pool Set Definitions
To display the definition of a storage pool set, use the following command;
# vxpool printpoolsets storage_pool_set [storage_pool_set ...]
For example, the following command displays the definition of the storage pool set,
mirrored_data_stripe_clones:
# vxpool printpoolsets mirrored_data_stripe_clones
storage_pool_set mirrored_data_striped_clones {
description "The data volumes have multiple copies of data.
Snapshot volumes have I/Os spread across multiple columns."

display_name_id "{b84f1c64-1dd1-11b2-8b42-080020feef8b}", 138

clone striped_volumes
};
See “Displaying Storage Pool Definitions” on page 37 for information on how to display
definitions for storage pool types such as mirrored_volumes and striped_volumes.
