Volume sets


  Note   You need a full license to use this feature.


Volume sets are an enhancement to VxVM that allow several volumes to be represented by a single logical object. All I/O from and to the underlying volumes is directed via the I/O interfaces of the volume set. The volume set feature supports the multi-volume enhancement to Veritas File System (VxFS). This feature allows file systems to make best use of the different performance and availability characteristics of the underlying volumes. For example, file system metadata could be stored on volumes with higher redundancy, and user data on volumes with better performance.
