Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide

About Solaris Volume Manager Large Volume Support

Solaris Volume Manager allows system administrators to do the following:

  1. Create, modify, and delete logical volumes built on or from logical storage units (LUNs) greater than 1 TB in size.

  2. Create, modify, and delete logical volumes that exceed 1 TB in size.

Support for large volumes is automatic—if a device greater than 1 TB is created, Solaris Volume Manager configures it appropriately and without user intervention.
