322 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1

The summary shows you the capacity information and the allocated space. You can

customize the thin-provision settings or the mirror synchronization rate. After you create the

volume, the task completed window opens as shown in Figure 6-37.

The initial synchronization of thin-mirrored volumes is fast when a small amount of real and

virtual capacity is used.

6.6 HyperSwap and the mkvolume command

HyperSwap volume configuration is not possible until site awareness has been configured.

When the HyperSwap topology is configured, the GUI uses mkvolume command to create

volumes instead of traditional mkvdisk command. This section describes the mkvolume

command that is used in HyperSwap topology. The GUI continues to use mkvdisk when all

other classes of volumes are created.

In this section, the new mkvolume command is described, and how the GUI uses this

command, when HyperSwap topology has been configured, rather than the “traditional”

mkvdisk command.

Note: It is still possible to create HyperSwap volumes as in the V7.5.0 release, as

described in the following white paper:
