Creating a Dynamic Volume

Notes:
- A striped volume requires at least two disks.
- If no disks are assigned, VxVM uses available space on disks in the selected disk group.
- The data in a striped volume is not protected against disk failure unless the volume is
mirrored. At least one additional disk is required to mirror a striped volume.
- Striped pro volumes are mirrored by default, so astriped pro volumerequires more disks
than an unmirrored striped volume.
- If your system supports root volumes, then it should be noted that you cannot use a
striped pro volume for a root volume.
- You cannot use a striped pro volume for a swap volume.
- If afilesystem is placed on the volume andthe Mount at Boot option isselected,the file
system table file is automatically updated.
