Changing the allocation

behavior of ISP

The behavior that ISP exhibits when allocating storage can be controlled by

setting the value of the allocation_priority_order attribute. For example,

this attribute determines if growing the storage pool is preferred to dropping

the desired rules when there is insufficient storage to create a volume. The

default behavior can be changed by editing the definition of the attribute in the

/etc/default/allocator file, or, for a single invocation of the

vxassist or

vxvoladm command, by specifying the -o allocation_priority=

value

option

as a command-line argument. The

value

argument can take an integer value

from 1 to 12, as shown in the following table.
