Creating a storage virtual machine (SVM) on an AFA system
The process for creating SVMs is the same for either an AFA or a Hybrid system, but the SVM on an AFA system uses different options.
Create an SVM using the default IPspace, root volume security style of UNIX, and no Snapshot policy:
| If you want to use... | Then... |
|---|---|
| Cluster Setup Wizard | The Cluster Setup Wizard creates your cluster SVM when you first create the cluster. |
| Storage Manager | Create the SVM by using the SVM Create Wizard. |
| CLI | Enter the following command: vserver create -vserver <vserver> [-ipspace <IPspace>] -rootvolume <volume name> -aggregate <aggregate name> -rootvolume-security-style <security style> [-snapshot-policy <snapshot policy>] |
Example
The following example creates an SVM named vs0.example.com in the default IPspace. The SVM's root volume is named as root_vs0, is located on aggregate aggr0, and has the UNIX security style. The Snapshot policy is specified as None .
vserver create -vserver vs0.example.com -ipspace default -rootvolume root_vs0 -aggregate aggr0 -rootvolume-security-style unix -snapshot-policy noneGive documentation feedback
