Create Mirroring Volume2015/07/18

 
Create Mirroring Volume.
[1] For example, create a Mirroring Volume with Phisical Volume /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1.
# create vlume group "vg_mirror" with /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1

[root@dlp ~]#
vgcreate vg_mirror /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1

  Logical volume "vg_mirror" created
# create mirroring volume

[root@dlp ~]#
lvcreate -L 50G -m1 -n lv_mirror vg_mirror

  Logical volume "lv_mirror" created.

[root@dlp ~]#
lvdisplay /dev/vg_mirror/lv_mirror

[2] Configure like follows if you'd like to set mirroring volume from a logical volume which is already running.
# extend volume group

[root@dlp ~]#
vgextend vg_data /dev/sdc1

  Volume group "vg_data" successfully extended
# set mirror volume

[root@dlp ~]#
lvconvert -m1 /dev/vg_data/lv_data /dev/sdc1
