My goal is composed of two parts:
1) to be able to take a valid AdvFS volume, encapsulate it, and mirror it
After direction yesterday to remove a volume so that I could encapsulate
the disk for LSM, I am unable to mirror the encapsulated disk (dsk2c-AdvFS)
to another disk that has been labeled, initialized and added to the disk
group (disk03).
When mirroring the encapsulated disk, I receive "ERROR: Cannot allocate
space to mirror 72205440 block volume". My target drive has insufficient
space once the LSMpriv region is taken into consideration. How does one
convert a volume with data on it to LSM and mirror it to another drive of
the same size?
"voldg -g rootdg free" does not list the encapsulated disk. "voldisk
list", "volinfo" and "volprint", however, do show the encapsulated
disk. Why is that?
2) to take two new drives, init them for LSM, create the
domain/fileset/mount on the first and mirror it to the second.
I tested using disk03 by init'g LSM first and creating the domain
second. I find that I have no block device for this volume in
/dev/vol/rootdg. I can see it the volume. I can rename the volume. But I
can't run mkfdmn because the special device file doesn't exist.
However, no matter how many times I remove the disk from the group, zero
out the label and start all over again, I still have no file for this
device. This is the first time that I've ever had this problem.
Apologies in advance for so much data following. And, is there an ISBN
available for documentation specific to LSM?
