210 Examples of using ISP
Creating volumes
Create a 2-way mirrored volume that is enabled for the creation of instant
snapshots:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='DataMirroring(nmirs=2), InstantSnapshottable'
Create a volume using only disks from enclosure e1:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool vol1 10g \
rules='confineto "Enclosure"="e1"'
or alternatively:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='ConfineToSpecificStorage(name="Enclosure",\
value="e1")'
Create a volume using disks on the same controller:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
rules='confineto "Controller"'
or alternatively:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='ConfineToSimilarStorage (name="Controller")'
Create a RAID-5 volume with a 2-way mirrored RAID-5 log and a 2-way mirrored
DCO volume:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='Raid5Capability,\
Raid5LogMirroring(nlogs=2), DCOLogMirroring(nlogs=2)'
Create a volume using a RAID-5 device that has been implemented in hardware
(such as a RAID-5 LUN in an EMC Symmetrix array):
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='PrefabricatedRaid5'
Create a striped volume with a minimum of 10 columns using mirrored LUNs
from enclosure e1, and for which instant snapshots can be taken:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='PrefabricatedDataMirroring, Striping(ncols=10),\
InstantSnapshottable' rules='confineto "Enclosure"="e1"'
or alternatively:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='PrefabricatedDataMirroring, Striping(ncols=10),\
InstantSnapshottable,\
ConfineToSpecificStorage(name="Enclosure",value="e1")'
Create a 4-way mirrored volume in which each mirror uses disks from the same
enclosure, and for which instant snapshots can be taken:
# vxassist -g exdg -P expool make vol1 10g \
capability='DataMirroring(nmirs=2),InstantSnapshottable,\
ConfineMirrorsToSimilarStorage(name="Enclosure")'
