Adding Mirrors to a Volume

To add mirrors to an existing volume, use the following command:


# vxvoladm [-g diskgroup] [-b] add mirror volume \
[nmirrors=
number] [attributes...]

By default, one mirror is added. You can use the nmirrors attribute to specify the number of mirrors to add. If specified, the -b option performs the synchronization of the new mirrors in the background. You can also use storage attributes to specify the storage to be used for the mirrors. For example, the following command adds a mirror to the volume, mirvol1, using disk mydg01:


vxvoladm -g mydg -b add mirror mirvol1 \ 
  use_storage='"DM"="mydg01"'
