Administering Volumes
8
This chapter describes how to perform common maintenance tasks on volumes in
VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM). This includes displaying volume information,
monitoring tasks, adding and removing logs, resizing volumes, removing mirrors,
removing volumes, and changing the layout of volumes without taking them offline.
Note You can also use the VERITAS Intelligent Storage Provisioning (ISP) feature to
create and administer application volumes. These volumes are very similar to the
traditional VxVM volumes that are described in this chapter. However, there are
significant differences between the functionality of the two types of volumes that
prevents them from being used interchangeably. Refer to the VERITAS Storage
Foundation Intelligent Storage Provisioning Administrator’s Guide for more information
about creating and administering ISP application volumes.
Most VxVM commands require superuser or equivalent privileges.
