Adding volumes

Using this option, you can add additional volumes to an RDS even when replication is in progress. This command associates a volume to all the RVGs of the RDS. Note that the Add Volume wizard provides you with the option to create volumes on the Secondary host, corresponding to those on the Primary, if they are not already created. However, you can also choose to create the volumes on the Secondary hosts beforehand and then use this wizard to add the volumes to the RDS.

The options available on this wizard vary depending on whether you have created the volumes on the required hosts.

Note:

When you create the volumes on the Secondary host, to prevent these volumes from being mounted, Veritas recommends that you do not assign a drive letter to these volumes. Otherwise, the file system on the volume may try to mount these volumes and report an error that the volume is corrupt because the data on the volume changes due to replication.
