• The XVM Volume Manager can be used when layered with the CXFS
filesystem. The XVM Volume Manager can also be used as a
standalone volume manager; this requires that you be running the
6.5.13f release leg of the IRIX operating system. The 6.5.13m leg does
not support XVM as a standalone volume manager; this support will
be added in a later release.
• Added support for the use of mirrors in XVM logical volumes. The
mirroring feature of XVM requires the XFS Volume Plexing software
option. Customers running CXFS and who want to run mirrors will
need to purchase this license. XLV customers with plexing licenses
can upgrade to XVM without having to acquire a new license.
Introduced in IRIX 6.5.12
• Supports the labeling of disks as XVM system disks in the XVM
Volume Manager. For information on XVM system disks, see the
XVM Volume Manager Administrator’s Guide.
