Veritas VxVM rootdg mirror

[Mike_145]

We are running Veritas Base Foundation Suite on our rootdg volume to mirror the disk. I noticed that two of the volumes are not mirrored, homevol and swapvol. I've gone into the GUI interface but do not see and options to mirror the two volumes. How can I get these two volumes mirrored so we are covered ??

Do a man on vxassist to get more details, but the following should basically help as long as you have free space in your rootdg diskgroup.

vxassist -g diskgroup mirror volume

So in your case.

vxassist -g rootdg homevol_mirror homevol

VxVm will allocate disks as it sees fit, you can specify by adding the disk name at the end of the above command.

Hope this helps.
