To monitor thin reclamation
1
To initiate thin reclamation, use the following command:
# vxdisk reclaim diskgroup
For example:
# vxdisk reclaim dg100
2
To monitor the reclamation status, run the following command in another
session:
# vxtask list
TASKID PTID TYPE/STATE PCT PROGRESS
171 RECLAIM/R 00.00% 0/41875931136/0 RECLAIM vol100 dg100
The vxdisk reclaim diskgroup command runs in another session while
you run the vxtask list command.
Using SmartMove with Thin Provisioning
This section describes how to use SmartMove with Thin Provisioning that improves
the synchronization performance and uses thin storage efficiently.
To use SmartMove with Thin Provisioning
1
Mount the volume as the VxFS file system type. For example:
# mount -F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/oradg/oravol1 /oravol1
2
Run the following command:
# sync
3
Mirror the volume. For example:
# vxassist -g oradg mirror oravol1
See the Veritas Storage Foundation Advanced Features Administrator's Guide for
