Specifying a non-default layout

You can specify one or more of the following relayout options to change the default layout configuration:

ncol=number

Specifies the number of columns.

ncol=+number

Specifies the number of columns to add.

ncol=-number

Specifies the number of columns to remove.

stripeunit=size

Specifies the stripe width.

The following examples use vxassist to change the stripe width and number of columns for a striped volume in the disk group dbasedg:

# vxassist -g dbasedg relayout vol03 stripeunit=64k ncol=6
# vxassist -g dbasedg relayout vol03 ncol=+2
# vxassist -g dbasedg relayout vol03 stripeunit=128k

The following example changes a concatenated volume to a RAID-5 volume with four columns:

# vxassist -g dbasedg relayout vol04 layout=raid5 ncol=4
