# vxassist -g mydg -P mypool make strpvol 2g \

capability=’DataMirroring,MirrorsOnSeparateComponents’

Such a volume tolerates the failure of one enclosure and provides greater

reliability.

Such a capability can be combined with multipathing to provide resilience against

the failure of one of the paths to an enclosure, for example, in the following

command:

# vxassist -g mydg -P mypool make strpvol 2g \

capability=’DataMirroring,MirrorsOnSeparateComponents,\

MultipathingThroughMultiplePaths’

Creating a striped volume

The following command creates a 2 GB striped volume with 10 columns:

# vxassist -g mydg -P mypool make strpvol 2g \

capability=’Striping(ncols=10)’

Creating a mirrored-stripe volume with mirrors on separate

controllers

The following command creates a 2 GB mirrored-stripe volume with eight columns,

and with the mirrors located on separate controllers:

# vxassist -g mydg -P mypool make strpvol 2g \

capability=’DataMirrorStripe(ncols=8),\

MirrorsOnSeparateComponents(component="Controller")’

Creating a striped-mirror volume from prefabricated mirrors

The following command creates a 10 GB striped-mirror volume with eight columns,

and which uses prefabricated mirrors that are exported by an array to form each

column:

# vxassist -g mydg -P mypool make strpvol 2g \

capability=’Striping(ncols=8),PrefabricatedDataMirroring’

Creating a RAID-5 volume with a RAID-5 log

The following command creates a 2 GB RAID-5 volume with eight data columns

and a RAID-5 log that has two redundant copies:
