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 a VxVM device is slightly less than the full disk drive size. VxVM 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.
