Transforming the Capabilities of a Volume Online

To change the capabilities of an existing volume online, use the vxvoladm transform command as shown here:


# vxvoladm [-g diskgroup] [-b] transform volume [attributes...]

If specified, the -b option performs the transformation in the background.

For example, the following command changes the capability of the volume, vol02, to DataMirroring with 4 mirrors:


vxvoladm -g mydg -b transform vol02 \
  capability='DataMirroring (nmirs=4)'

The next example adds the InstantSnapShottable and DCOLogMirroring capabilities to enable the use of instant snapshots with a mirrored volume:


vxvoladm -g mydg -b transform mir3vol \
  capability='DataMirroring(nmirs=3),InstantSnapShottable,\
DCOLogMirroring(nlogs=3)'
