Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

# /usr/sbin/vxvset [-g diskgroup] -t vxfs make volset volume
where:
■ volset is the name of the volume set
■ volume is the name of the first volume in the volume set
■ -t defines the content handler subdirectory for the application that is to
be used with the volume. This subdirectory contains utilities that an
application uses to operate on the volume set. The operation of these
utilities is determined by the requirements of the application and not by
VxVM.
For example, to create a volume set named db01vset that contains the volume
db01, in the disk group PRODdg, you would use the following command:
# /usr/sbin/vxvset -g PRODdg -t vxfs make db01vset db01
Adding a volume to a volume set
After creating a volume set, you can add additional volumes.
To add a volume to a volume set
◆
Use the vxvset command as follows:
# /usr/sbin/vxvset [-g diskgroup] [-f] addvol volset \
volume
Warning: The -f (force) option must be specified if the volume being added,
or any volume in the volume set, is either a snapshot or the parent of a
snapshot. Using this option can potentially cause inconsistencies in a snapshot
hierarchy if any of the volumes involved in the operation is already in a
snapshot chain.
See the Veritas Volume Manager Administrator's Guide.
For example, to add the volume db02, to the volume set db01vset, use the following
command:
# /usr/sbin/vxvset -g PRODdg addvol db01vset db02
