See “Creating a storage pool” on page 51.
Adding the disks to a storage pool
You can use the vxpool adddisk command to add initialized disks to a storage
pool.
For example, the following command adds two disks to the storage pool, mypool:
# vxpool -g mydg adddisk mypool dm=mydg07,mydg08
See “Adding disks to a storage pool” on page 54.
Creating an application volume
The following command creates a striped-mirror volume with three columns and
two mirrors in the data storage pool, mypool, by specifying the capability
DataStripeMirror together with the appropriate parameters:
# vxassist -g mydg -P mypool make stmrvol 2g \
capability=’DataStripeMirror(ncols=3,nmirs=2)’ init=active
The init=active attribute makes the volume immediately available for use without
performing any synchronization.
Having created the application volume, stmrvol, you can use the following
command to prepare it for use with volume snapshots:
# vxassist -g mydg -P mypool addlog stmrvol nlog=2 logtype=dco
This command associates a data change object (DCO) and DCO volume with the
volume. The attribute nlog is used to specify that the DCO volume has the same
redundancy as the original volume.
You can use the following vxsnap prepare command to set up the volume for
snapshots:
# vxsnap -g mydg prepare stmrvol ndcomirs=2
See “About creating application volumes” on page 61.
See “Creating instant snapshots” on page 107.
Resizing an application volume
If the application volume, stmrvol, that you have just created is not large enough
for your needs, you can increase its size using the following command:
