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.

   volutil: NEWMIRRSET PROD_SET MEMBER1 (30,31)



   *Verify: Initialize new volume set PROD_SET on ldev 30 and ldev 31 [Y/N]? Y



   *Note: New master volume has been initialized for ldev 30 and ldev 31.
NOTE: After executing the NEWMIRRSET command, you should execute a :VSCLOSE volsetname and a :VSOPEN volsetname to ensure that the volume set information has been posted to the disk.
