A plex becomes a participating plex for a volume by attaching it to a volume. (Attaching a plex associates it with the volume and enables the plex for use.) To attach a plex to an existing volume, use the following command:
# vxplex [-g
diskgroup] att
volume
plex
For example, to attach a plex named vol01-02
to a volume named vol01
in the disk group, mydg
, use the following command:
# vxplex -g mydg att vol01 vol01-02
If the volume does not already exist, a plex (or multiple plexes) can be associated with the volume when it is created using the following command:
# vxmake [-g
diskgroup] -U
usetype vol
volume plex=
plex1[
,
plex2...
]
For example, to create a mirrored, fsgen
-type volume named home,
and to associate two existing plexes named home-1
and home-2
with home
, use the following command:
# vxmake -g mydg -U fsgen vol home plex=home-1,home-2
Note
You can also use the command vxassist
mirror
volume to add a data plex as a mirror to an existing volume.
