51Storage pools
Organizing storage pools in a disk group
For example, if you want your data volumes to be mirrored for redundancy, and
your snapshot volumes to be striped for performance, you can choose a storage
pool set definition where the data pool has associated templates that relate to
mirroring, and the clone pool has associated templates that relate to striping. A
suitable choice would be the mirrored_data_striped_clones storage pool
set. To create these storage pools within a disk group, you would use the
following command:
# vxpool -g diskgroup organize mirrored_data_striped_clones
See “Listing storage pool sets” on page 51.
See “Displaying storage pool set definitions” on page 51.
Listing storage pool sets
A storage pool set defines the storage pool types for a data storage pool and for
the clone storage pools that are used to hold snapshots of the data storage pool’s
volumes.
To list all the available storage pool sets, use the following command:
# vxpool listpoolset
See “Storage pool set” on page 195.
Displaying storage pool set definitions
To display the definition of a storage pool set, use the following command;
# vxpool printpoolset storage_pool_set \
[
storage_pool_set ...]
For example, the following command displays the definition of the storage pool
set, mirrored_data_stripe_clones:
# vxpool printpoolset mirrored_data_stripe_clones
storage_pool_set mirrored_data_striped_clones {
description "The data volumes have multiple copies of
data.
Snapshot volumes have I/Os spread across multiple
columns."
descriptionid "{b84f1c64-1dd1-11b2-8b42-080020feef8b}",

};
