I guess you mean striping and not stripping?? Stripe layout can be changed via vxassist relayout and can be done online (preferably during a quiet period).
Relayout is described in the VxVM Admin Guide: https://vos.symantec.com/public/documents/sf/5.1/linux/pdf/vxvm_admin.pd f See p. 53 and 379 onwards.

My question is that is it involve downtime when doing third column disk expansion into this volume? What is the process to add third column disk? Does stripping IO method work when we mix disks type such as SAS + FC? We are currently using symantec cluster file system 5.1 with redhat enterprise linux 5 please advice, thanks _______________________________________________ Veritas-vx maillist - Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-vx _______________________________________________ Veritas-vx maillist - Veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-vx
