Creating a mirrored traditional volume, where the user selects the disks

Before You Begin

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

Step

To create a mirrored traditional volume using disks you select, enter the following command:vol create volname -m -d disk-list -d disk-list
volname is the name of the volume you are mirroring (without the /vol/prefix).
-m specifies a mirrored volume to Data ONTAP.

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

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

Example
In this example, the following command creates a mirrored volume named vol A with disks 6.1 and 6.2 on one plex and disks 8.1 and 8.2 on the other plex.
```
vol create volA -m -d 6.1 6.2 -d 8.1 8.2
```
