volumes
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The vol commands manage a volume, apply options to a volume, or display the
status of one or more volumes. Also, some vol commands copy volumes on the
same filer or between two filers. You can use the volume copy feature only if you
have purchased the volcopy license and entered the license code for a filer that is
involved in a vol copy command.

... creates a new volume
with the name
volname
. The volume name can contain letters, numbers, and
the underscore character(_), but the first character must be a letter or under-
score. You can create up to 23 volumes on each filer.
The -r

argument specifies the maximum number of disks in each
RAID group in the volume. The maximum value of
raidsize
is 28. The default
value is 14.

disks. The disks in this newly created volume come from the pool of spare
disks. The smallest disks in this pool join the volume first, unless you specify
the @
size
argument.
size
is the disk size in GB, and disks within 1 GB of the
specified size are used in this volume.
If you use the -d

argument, the filer creates the volume with the
specified spare disks. You can specify a space-separated list of disk names.
If you use the -l

the language specified by the language code. The default is the language of
the root volume of the filer. Language codes are:
