If you are working in
a V-Switch cluster,
this volume must be
configured on both
V-Switches.
Assigning a volume alias is optional. If you do not include a volume alias
in the command, the volume alias will default to the subdisk alias in
which the volume is located. For example, a simple volume created on
Subdisk 6 will be named Subdisk 6 by default.
Use the –sd switch to assign a subdisk or the –d switch to assign a disk.
Example:
In Figure 6-8, Subdisk 1 on Disk 1 is converted to a simple volume, Simple 1.
