Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide

Top Down Creation Implemention

The metassist command uses Solaris Volume Manager disk sets to manage volumes and available disks for top down creation. For any given top-down creation process, all the disks used as building blocks must be either in the disk set or be available to be added to the disk set. You can use the top-down process to create volumes in different disk sets, but the disks and components available are constrained by disk set functionality.
