Veritas Volume Manager 5.0 Administrator's Guide (September 2006)

429Administering sites and remote mirrors
Site-based allocation of storage to volumes
# vxassist -g diskgroup make volume size mirror=site \
site:site1 site:site2 ... allsites=off siteconsistent=off
a non-site-consistent mirrored volume with plexes at all of the sites:
# vxassist -g diskgroup make volume size mirror=site \
allsites=on siteconsistent=off
a site-consistent mirrored volume with plexes only at some of the sites:
# vxassist -g diskgroup make volume size mirror=site \
site:site1 site:site2 ... allsites=off siteconsistent=on
or a site-consistent mirrored volume with plexes at all of the sites:
# vxassist -g diskgroup make volume size mirror=site \
allsites=on siteconsistent=on
Specifying the number of mirrors ensures that there are a minimum of 2 plexes at each
site:
# vxassist -g diskgroup make volume size mirror=site \
nmirror=4 site:site1 site:site2 ... [allsites={on|off}] \
[siteconsistent={on|off}]
If a volume is intended to be site consistent, the number of mirrors that are specified must
be a multiple of the number of sites.
