Displaying storage pool policies
To display the policies that are set on a storage pool, use the vxpool getpolicy
command as shown in the following command definition:
# vxpool [-g diskgroup] getpolicy storage_pool
In the following example, this command is used to display the policies for the
storage pool, ReliablePool:
# vxpool -g mydg getpolicy ReliablePool
Autogrow Selfsufficient
2 1
Changing the policies on a storage pool
By default, ISP sets the values of the autogrow policy to diskgroup, and the
selfsufficient policy to pool.
To change the policies that are set on a storage pool, use the following vxpool
setpolicy command:
# vxpool [-g diskgroup] setpolicy storage_pool \
[autogrow={1|pool}|{2|diskgroup}] \
[selfsufficient={1|pool}|{2|diskgroup}|{3|host}]
The existing pool policies are overwritten by the new levels that you set.
In the following example, the policies on the storage pool, mypool, are changed
to disallow the use of storage resources from outside the storage pool, and to allow
all available templates to be considered for use when creating volumes:
# vxpool -g mydg setpolicy mypool autogrow=pool \
selfsufficient=host
Listing storage pools within a disk group
To display a list of all storage pools within a disk group, use the vxpool list
command as shown in the following command definition:
# vxpool [-g diskgroup] list
For example, the following command lists all the storage pools within the disk
group, mydg:
57Storage pools
