A mirrored-stripe volume mirrors several striped data plexes.
Note A mirrored-stripe volume requires space to be available on at least as many disks in the disk group as the number of mirrors multiplied by the number of columns in the volume.
To create a striped-mirror volume, use the following command:
# vxassist [-b] [-g
diskgroup] make
volume
length
\
layout=mirror-stripe [nmirror=
number_mirrors
] \
[ncol=
number_of_columns
] [stripewidth=
size
]
Alternatively, first create a striped volume, and then mirror it as described in Adding a mirror to a volume. In this case, the additional data plexes may be either striped or concatenated.
