Creating a RAID-5 Volume

To create a RAID-5 volume:
# vxassist –g diskgroup make volume_name length layout=raid5 ncol=n stripeunit=size [disks..]

  • Default ncol=3
  • Default stripeunit=16K
  • Log is created by default. Therefore, you need at least one more disk than the number of columns
Example:

# vxassist –g acctdg make payvol 10g layout=raid5
