Thank you to Pat O'Brian.
I think I have found the problem.
I am not working in rootdg disk group.
It seems that the graphical interface and volassist cannot handle that for
RAID5.

Using volmake is fine WHEN I add the disk group (which I had forgotten for
the following command) :
# volmake -g test_group plex test-v3-01 layout=raid5 stwidth=16
sd=data_raid00-01,data_raid01-01,data_raid02-01

Regards
Claudine
