to each group, or when such groups need to have a separateby rule between them.
Merging of mirrors can only take place within mirror groups.
The following example demonstrates the application of the mirror_group rule
by configuring two mirror groups, A with two striped mirrors, and B with two
concatenated mirrors, where the mirrors in each group lie within different
enclosures:
mirror_group A {
mirror 2 {
confineto "Enclosure"
}
stripe 4
}
mirror_group B {
mirror 2 {
confineto "Enclosure"
}
striped false
}
mirror_group A,B {
separateby "Enclosure"
}
stripe
The stripe rule describes one or more columns of a volume. All basic rules and
some restricted form-related or mirror-related rules can be specified within a
stripe rule. ISP merges multiple stripe rules to form a single stripe rule whose
rules are the union of the separate stripe rules.
The following examples demonstrate the application of the stripe rule:
■ The following example stripes a VxVM object over 5 columns:
stripe 5
■ The following example uses confineto rules to force a column to be created
on enclosures that are separate, but which are attached to the same controller,
ctlr1:
stripe 6-2 {
confineto "Controller"="ctlr1"
separateby "Enclosure"
}
