Configuring mirror pools

Edit online

Using the SMIT interface you can display mirror pools, change characteristics of a mirror pool, remove a mirror pool, and add disks to mirror pools.

From the command line, enter smit cl_mirrorpool_mgt to display the following configuration options:

  Show all Mirror Pools
  Show Mirror Pools for a Volume Group
  Change/Show Characteristics of a Mirror Pool
  Add Disks to a Mirror Pool
  Remove Disks from a Mirror Pool
  Rename a Mirror Pool
  Remove a Mirror Pool

To verify the placement of disks in the mirror pools for a volume group that is used for LVM split-site mirroring, select Show Mirror Pools for a Volume Group. If a disk is placed in the wrong mirror pool, you can remove the disk and add it to the correct mirror pool. If you complete this process after the logical volumes or the file systems are created on the volume group, it can affect the mirroring of the volume groups data.
