Creating a mirrored aggregate, where the user selects the disks

Before You Begin

When you select the disks used to create a mirrored aggregate, ensure that you choose a correct number and size of disks from each pool.

Step

  1. To create a mirrored aggregate using disks you select, enter the following command:aggr create aggrname -m -d disk-list -d disk-list

    aggrname is the name of the aggregate you are mirroring.

    -m specifies a mirrored aggregate to Data ONTAP.

    disk-list consists of the disk IDs of two or more available disks; separate multiple disks with the space character. Both -d options must be used, one for each plex.

    Note: Specifying only one disk set using the -d option would fail.

    Example

    The following command creates a mirrored aggregate named aggrA with disks 6.1 and 6.2 on one plex and disks 8.1 and 8.2 on the other plex.aggr create aggrA -m -d 6.1 6.2 -d 8.1 8.2
