The advanced approach consists of a number of commands that typically require you to specify detailed input. These commands use a "building block" approach that requires you to have a detailed knowledge of the underlying structure and components to manually perform the commands necessary to accomplish a certain task. Advanced operations are performed using several different VxVM commands.
The steps to create the subdisks and plexes, and to associate the plexes with the volumes can be combined by using a volume description file with the vxmake command.
