Creating Application Volumes
Volumes created by VERITAS Intelligent Storage Provisioning (ISP) are similar to traditional volumes created by vxassist, but have the advantage that their intent is preserved and cannot accidentally be degraded. Volumes that are created by ISP can be managed by using commands such as vxvoladm, or by using the VEA client graphical user interface. For information on using VEA to create volumes, refer to the VEA online help. This chapter describes how to use the vxvoladm command to create volumes.
Note
To create application volumes successfully, the appropriate licenses must be present on your system. For example, you need a full VERITAS Volume Manager license and a VERITAS FlashSnapTM or FastResync license to use the instant snapshot feature. Vendors of disk arrays may also provide capabilities that require special licenses for certain features of their hardware.
