NAME

tkadmin create lvol - creates a logical volume

SYNOPSIS

tkadmin create lvol -server servername lvolname pvolname

ARGUMENTS

-server servername Specifies the server affected by the command. The server name is the name that is registered with the DCE Directory Service. If the server name is not specified in the command line, it is retrieved from an environment variable, ENCINA_TK_SERVER. 

lvolname Specifies the new logical volume. This name can be any string of alphanumeric characters with a maximum length of 128 characters including the end-of-string character. 

pvolname Specifies the physical volume that backs the new logical volume. 

DESCRIPTION

The tkadmin create lvol command creates a logical volume of the specified name. Initially, each logical volume is mapped to one physical volume. The specified physical volume cannot be mapped to another logical volume, or the command fails. 

NOTES

This command is not for use on the AIX operating system. As the AIX operating system supports logical volumes, the logical volume does not have to be created. Instead, the Encina logical volume must be mapped to the AIX operating system logical volume. You must use the tkadmin map lvol command to create logical volumes on AIX. 

EXAMPLES

The following command creates a logical volume named lvol1 and maps it to the physical volume named pvol1:

% tkadmin create lvol lvol1 pvol1

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

Encina Monitor administer (a) permission to the node manager

Encina RQS administer (a) permission to the RQS server

Encina SFS administer (A) permission to the SFS server
