NEWMIRRSET
The NEWMIRRSET command creates a new mirrored volume set by initializing
the master of the volume set.
The volume that will be initialized as the new volume master must be
mounted in the SCRATCH or UNKNOWN state.
Task
Creates a mirrored volume set.
Syntax
volutil: NEWMIRRSET [SNAME=]sname
[MASTER=]master
[LDEVS=](ldev,ldev)
[ [PERM=]percent_perm][ [TRANS=]percent_trans]
[ [GEN=]gen_number]
[ [CLASSES=](cname[ [,cname]...])]
Parameters
sname The name that you assign to the new volume set. It
is used to reference and identify the set. It must
be a unique name at the time of initialization. No
other volume set with the same name can be mounted
on the system. Required.
master The name that you assign to the master volume of
the set. This name need not be the same as the
name assigned to the volume set. Required.
ldev,ldev Two numbers from 1 to 999 that specify the logical
devices that are to become the mirrored master
volumes of the volume set. They must identify two
different devices configured into the device class
DISC. The volumes must be mounted in the SCRATCH or
UNKNOWN state. Required.
percent_perm A number between 0 and 100 that specifies the
maximum percentage of disk space that can be
allocated to permanent data (files, databases).
Default is 100. Optional.
percent_trans A number between 0 and 100 that specifies the
maximum percentage of disk space that can be
allocated to transient data (process stacks,
virtual objects). Default is 100. Optional.
gen_number A number from 0 to 32,767 that specifies the
generation of the new volume set. Default is 0.
Optional.
cname The names of volume classes to be initially created
in the volume set. The MASTER volume (volume being
initialized) is assigned to these classes. If this
parameter is omitted, the volume class DISC is
created and the MASTER volume is assigned to it.
Optional.
Example
This example shows how to use the VOLUTIL NEWMIRRSET command. If you do
not specify a volume class, the default volume class DISC is added to the
mirrored volume set.
