Creating Plexes
NOTE Plexes are created automatically if you use the vxassist command or the
VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA) to create volumes. For more
information, see “Creating a Volume” on page 214.
Use the vxmake command to create VxVM objects, such as plexes. When
creating a plex, identify the subdisks that are to be associated with it:
To create a plex from existing subdisks, use the following command:
# vxmake [-g diskgroup] plex plex sd=subdisk1[,subdisk2,...]
For example, to create a concatenated plex named vol01-02 using two
existing subdisks named disk02-01 and disk02-02, use the following
command:
# vxmake plex vol01-02 sd=disk02-01,disk02-02
