VxVM installation and vxinstall
2007-12-25 1:52:00
I am preparing to install VxVM and plan to use the following disk layout
on a V880 with 12 internal 36GB drives.
c1t0d0s0 -- 32MB for VxVM
c1t0d0s1 -- 32MB for VxVM
c1t0d0s3 -- /
c1t0d0s4 -- /usr
c1t0d0s5 -- /var
c1t0d0s6 -- /tmp
c1t0d0s7 -- /opt
c1t1d0s0 -- 32MB for VxVM
c1t0d0s1 -- 32MB for VxVM
c1t1d0s3 -- remainder for swap
I plan to mirror everything via VxVM. I have had some problems in the past
with VxVM saying that there were not enough slices available for vxinstall
encapsulation to complete. I have read in some of the VERITAS documentation
and on some web resources that VxVM needs two available slices in order to
complete encapsulation. I have met those requirements but it still doesn't
work. If anyone out there has a basic disk layout scheme that works well
with VxVM, some suggestions, warnings or words of wisdom would be greatly
appreciated.
I have also considered using SDS to mirror all of my system slices and then
use a single slice rootdg within VxVM in order to prevent it from using an
entire disk for rootdg - two entire disks if I mirror.
Thanks,
