Creating Volumes

Creating a Mirrored Volume

Chapter 7232

If you use ordered allocation when creating a mirrored volume on

speciﬁed storage, you can use the optional logdisk attribute to specify on

which disks the log plexes should be created. Use the following form of

the vxassist command to specify the disks from which space for the logs

is to be allocated:

# vxassist [-g diskgroup] -o ordered make volume length

layout=mirror logtype=log_type logdisk=disk[,disk,...]

storage_attributes

If you do not specify the logdisk attribute, vxassist locates the logs in the

data plexes of the volume.

For more information about ordered allocation, see “Specifying Ordered

Allocation of Storage to Volumes” on page 223 and the vxassist(1M)

manual page.
