mksp Command

Purpose

Create a storage pool.

Syntax

mksp [ -f ] StoragePool PhysicalVolume ...

Description

The mksp command creates a new storage pool, using the physical volumes represented by the PhysicalVolume parameter.

If the system detects a description area from a volume group that is not varied on, it prompts the user for confirmation in continuing with the command. The previous contents of the physical volume are lost, so the user must be cautious when using the override function. Specifying the -f flag will create the volume group with out prompting the user.

Flags

-f Forces the storage pool to be created on the specified physical volume unless the physical volume is part of another storage pool or volume group in the Device Configuration Database or a volume group that is active.

Examples

  1. To create a new storage pool from physical volumes hdisk3 and hdisk4 and with the name client_data, type: 
    mksp -f client_data hdisk3 hdisk4
    The new storage pool is created with the name client_data.
