Administering volumes
This chapter describes how to perform common maintenance tasks on volumes
in Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM). This includes displaying volume
information, monitoring tasks, adding and removing logs, resizing volumes,
removing mirrors, removing volumes, and changing the layout of volumes
without taking them offline.
Note: You can also use the Veritas Intelligent Storage Provisioning (ISP) feature
to create and administer application volumes. These volumes are very similar to
the traditional VxVM volumes that are described in this chapter. However, there
are significant differences between the functionality of the two types of volumes
that prevents them from being used interchangeably. Refer to the Veritas
Storage Foundation Intelligent Storage Provisioning Administrator’s Guide for
more information about creating and administering ISP application volumes.
Most VxVM commands require superuser or equivalent privileges.
