vxassist -g ${group} make ${vol} ${length}m layout=stripe [ ${disks[*]} ]

For example: vxassist -g doug make vol01 2048m layout=stripe ${disks[*]}

    Notes:
  1. ${length} will default to sectors, so make sure you put a 'm' after the number to indicate megs. The example above creates a 2 gig volume.
  2. The ${disks[*]} array is used if you want to stripe the volume across specific disks. If you don't put it in there, it will stripe across all disks in the disk group.
  3. If you don't specify either the disks or the disk group, the command will default to rootdg.
