# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
rules='confineto "Controller"'
or alternatively:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='ConfineToSimilarStorage (name="Controller")'
Use the following command to create a RAID-5 volume with a 2-way mirrored
RAID-5 log and a 2-way mirrored DCO volume:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='Raid5Capability,\
Raid5LogMirroring(nlogs=2), DCOLogMirroring(nlogs=2)'
Use the following command to create a volume using a RAID-5 device that has
been implemented in hardware (such as a RAID-5 LUN in an EMC Symmetrix
array):
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='PrefabricatedRaid5'
Use the following command to create a striped volume with a minimum of 10
columns using mirrored LUNs from enclosure e1, and for which instant snapshots
can be taken:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='PrefabricatedDataMirroring, Striping(ncols=10),\
InstantSnapshottable' rules='confineto "Enclosure"="e1"'
or alternatively:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='PrefabricatedDataMirroring, Striping(ncols=10),\
InstantSnapshottable,\ConfineToSpecificStorage(name="Enclosure",value="e1")'
Use the following command to create a 4-way mirrored volume in which each
mirror uses disks from the same enclosure, and for which instant snapshots can
be taken:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='DataMirroring(nmirs=2),InstantSnapshottable,\
ConfineMirrorsToSimilarStorage(name="Enclosure")'
