Disk Sets (Task Map)

The following task map identifies the procedures that are needed to manage Solaris Volume Manager disk sets and Solaris Volume Manager for Sun Cluster multi-owner disk sets. All commands work for both types of disk sets except where noted. The Solaris Volume Manager GUI is not available for tasks associated with multi-owner disk sets.
