xlvsetprimary(1M)                                        xlvsetprimary(1M)



NAME
     xlv_set_primary - set the primary plex of a logical volume

SYNOPSIS
     xlvsetprimary device_name

DESCRIPTION
     xlv_set_primary finds the XLV volume and plex to which device_name
     belongs and makes that plex the active copy.  All the other plexes that
     belong to this volume are marked stale.  This causes all of the plexes in
     this volume to be synchronized to the contents of the active plex when
     the volume is later assembled by xlv_assemble(1M).

     xlv_set_primary is designed for use during the miniroot when only a
     single plex of the volume is running.  Making that plex the primary plex
     of the volume ensures that whatever changes are made to this plex (for
     example, installing software) are made to the other plexes when they come
     online.

     This command has no effect if device_name is not part of an XLV volume.

NOTE
     You must be root to run xlv_set_primary.
