Not -mirror, just mirror. If no storage specification is given, it will just pick some place in the pool that is available. You can put your own storage specification at the end, such as: vxassist -g <dg> mirror <volname> diskXX See the 'vxassist' man page, especially the "Storage Specifications" section. > Can I use vxmake to mirror the volume ? Yes, but it is not recommended. It is very easy to create something very close that *almost* mirrors the existing data, but doesn't really. (I know, I've done it! http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/pipermail/veritas-vx/2000-February/000047.html) Vxassist has checks in place so that the command will fail instead of appear to work if things don't line up properly. There are some configurations that vxassist will not produce that you could do by hand with vxmake/vxplex/etc., but those should be rare enough that you won't run into them much. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
