Option Notes
Mirror Info:
◆ To mirror the volume, select Mirrored. In the Total Number of
Mirrors field, enter the total number of mirrors for the volume.
Note Concatenated mirrored volumes are mirrored by default.
Initialize zero:
◆ To clear the volume before enabling it for general use, select
Initialize Zero.
No layered volumes:
◆ To prevent the creation of a layered volume, select No Layered
Volumes. In cases where a layered volume layout is appropriate,
VxVM can create a layered volume when a non-layered layout is
specified. This option ensures that the volume has a non-layered
layout. If a layered (Pro) layout is selected, this option is ignored.
Enable FastResync
Enable logging
◆ If Enable FastResync is checked, then Enable Logging is an option
only if the volume is mirrored.
(The reason it is only enabled when Enable FastResync is checked is
to ensure that a new style DRL is created.)
