Creating a volume with a DRL log

 To create a volume with a traditional DRL log by using the vxassist command

This command creates log subdisks that are each equal to the size of the DRL log.

Note the following restrictions

If neither logmap_len nor loglen is specified 

  • loglen is set to a default value that is based on disk group alignment.
  • maplen is set to a reasonable value.

If only loglen is specified 

  • For pre-version 110 disk groups, maplen is set to zero.
  • For version 110 and greater disk groups, maplen is set to use all the bytes available in the on-disk map.

If only logmap_len is specified 

  • For pre-version 110 disk groups, logmap_len is not applicable.
  • For version 110 and greater disk groups, maplen must be less than the number of available bytes in the on-disk map for the default log length.
