Creating a Volume With a Saved Shell Script Created by the metassist Command

After you have created a shell script with the metassist command, you can use that script to create the volumes that you specified when the shell script was created.

The command script created by the metassist command has significant dependencies on the specific system configuration of the system on which the script was created, at the time the script was created. Using the script on different systems or after any changes to the system configuration can lead to data corruption or loss.
