General vxassist工具是VxVM中用于进行卷管理的工具,可以用于创建卷、增加镜像、扩展或者收缩存在的卷等,是非常重要的一个工具.The vxassist utility in Veritas Volume Manager is used to create volumes, add mirrors and logs to existing volumes, extend and shrink existing volumes, provides for the migration of data from a specified set of disks, and provides facilities for the on-line backup of existing volumes. vxassist在创建卷组时,如果不指定,缺省的会把卷分配给rootdg(note:在VxVM4.0中rootdg不再必须,但是你可以指定一个default dg具有类似的功能).vxassist的缺省单位是blocks,但是你可以指定K 或 M 或 G 为单位,这都是合法的. The default behavior of vxassist is to create volumes in the rootdg diskgroup if diskgroup is not specified . The default length is taken as number of blocks but this can be specified in Kilobytes or Megabytes or Gigabytes. vxassist command syntax : vxassist option Keyword volume_name [attributes] Commonly used options are given below (See man vxassist for complete list of supported options) -g for specifying diskgroups -b for background operation -d file containing defaults for vxassist if not specified /etc/default/vxassist is used Keywords used are make , mirror , move , growto ,growby ,shrintto ,shirnkby ,snapstart , snapshot ,snapwait Attributes specify volumes layout disks controllar to include exclude etc Device Nodes : Default rootdg disk group.
