Disk Tasks
Creating a Dynamic Disk Group
Chapter 374
• The New Dynamic Disk Group task requires a dynamic disk
group name and the name of at least one disk.
• The dynamic disk group name must be unique.
• The new dynamic disk group must contain at least one disk.
• Only disks that are online and do not belong to a dynamic disk group
can be used to create a dynamic disk group.
• The Volume Manager disk name must be unique within the dynamic
disk group.
• If multiple disks are specified in the Disk Device(s) field and only one
disk name is specified in Disk Name(s) field, VxVM appends
numbers to the disk name so that each disk name is unique within
its dynamic disk group.
