This chapter describes how to use the vxvset
command to create and administer volume sets in Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM). Volume sets enable the use of the Multi-Volume Support feature with Veritas File System (VxFS). It is also possible to use the Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) to create and administer volumes sets. For more information, see the VEA online help.
For full details of the usage of the vxvset
command, see the vxvset(1M) manual page.
Note Most VxVM commands require superuser or equivalent privileges.
Please note the following limitation of volume sets:
vxsnap
operations on instant snapshots: addmir
, dis
, make
, prepare
, reattach
, refresh
, restore
, rmmir
, split
, syncpause
, syncresume
, syncstart
, syncstop
, syncwait
, and unprepare
. The third-mirror break-off usage model for full-sized instant snapshots is supported for volume sets provided that sufficient plexes exist for each volume in the volume set. See Administering volume snapshots and Creating instant snapshots of volume sets for more information.
