snapshots
Assuming that you have already set up a data storage pool in a disk group, you
can create one or more clone storage pools in the same disk group by using the
same procedure. You may choose to use different types of disks or templates
with a clone storage pool than you set up for the data storage pool.
For example, the following commands set up a data and clone storage pool in the
disk group, ttdg, from storage pool definitions:
# vxpool -g ttdg create ttdtpool \
pooldefinition=prefab_mirrored_volumes
# vxpool -g ttdg create ttclpool \
pooldefinition=mirrored_volumes
The data storage pool, ttdtpool, is configured with templates that support the
creation of volumes on mirrored disks that are prefabricated in hardware. The
templates that are installed for the clone storage pool, ttclpool, support
mirrored volumes that may be created using software. Having set up the storage
pools, they can be populated with initialized disks.
See “Adding disks to a storage pool” on page 55.
Several storage pool sets are provided for setting up data and clone storage
pools within a disk group. To set up a data and clone storage pool using one of
these defined sets, use the following command:
# vxpool [-g diskgroup ] organize storage_pool_set
For example, to set up a data storage pool that supports mirrored volumes and a
clone storage pool that supports striped snapshots in the disk group, mydg, you
could use this command:
# vxpool -g mydg organize mirrored_data_striped_clones
This command assigns default names for the storage pools. These names are
based on the definition names. If required you can rename these storage pools.
