Dear All,
I am on a CentOS 6.2 machine and using keyless (trial for 60 days) Veritas Storage Foundation 6.0.
I am not a newbie but not an expert either in Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM).
I am unable to create a
striped plex with concatenated subdisks per column, I have made my configuration till subdisks.
Code:
root@box1:~# vxprint -ht

I need help with below "vxmake" command
Code:
root@box1:~# vxmake -g dg1 plex plex01 sd=disk01-01,disk02-01,disk02-02,disk03-01,disk03-02,disk03-03 layout=stripe stwidth=32K ncolumn=3
VxVM vxmake ERROR V-5-1-8864 gen/vxmake: Striped Plex plex01: must specify column numbers if number of
specified subdisks is greater than number of columns.
root@box1:~#
I am sure some arguments needs to be tweaked to assign a column to a particular subdisk, but I am unable to figure it out.
May be it is easier to achieve this "vxassist" command, but I want to learn the harder way which is more detailed and thus knowledge focussed.
Please help me correcting this "vxmake" command.
