Setting up VPLEX
2. Type the following command to create the meta-volume and a mirror:
Note: You can copy a storage volume name from the ll output and paste it into the
following command. To do this, highlight the volume to select it, and then right-click at the
point in the command where you want to paste the volume.
meta-volume create -n <meta-volume_name> -d <storage-volume_1_
name>,<storage-volume_2_name>
where:
<meta-volume_name> is a name you are assigning to the meta-volume.
<storage-volume_1_name> is the VPD (Virtual Private Database) name of the
meta-volume.
<storage-volume_2_name> is the VPD name of the mirror.
The mirror can consist of multiple storage volumes (which will become a
RAID 1), in which case you would include each additional volume, separated
by commas. For example:
<storage-volume_1_name>,<storage-volume_2_name>,<storage-volume_3_name>
3. Type the following command to display the meta-volume status:
ll /clusters/cluster-2/system-volumes/<meta-volume_name>
In the output, verify that the attribute active shows a value of true.
4. Type the following command to display the cluster status:
cluster status
The meta-volume takes time to resynchronize with the mirror. Wait until the
output from cluster status shows an operational-status of ok before proceeding.
Also verify that there are no health indications in the output.
Output example:
Cluster cluster-2
operational-status: ok
transitioning-indications:

B4-FC03 have a port status of up.
