A.2.7.1 Creating Volumes and Adding Mirrors to Volumes

Use the graphical user interface or the command-line utility vxassist(1M) to create volumes in each disk group, and to create an associated mirror for each volume.

The actual size of an SSVM or CVM device is slightly less than the full disk drive size. SSVM and CVM reserve a small amount of space for private use, called the private region.

The use of the same volume name is allowed if the volumes belong to different disk groups.
