Reserving a Disk

The Set Disk Usage feature can be used to designate a disk as a reserved disk. A reserved disk is not considered part of the free space pool. If you perform a task that requires disk space and you do not specify a disk, VxVM VEA allocates space from disks other than the reserved disk.

 
   To reserve a disk

  1. Follow the instructions in Adding a Disk to VxVMto place the disk under VxVM control and in a dynamic disk group.
  2. Select the disk to be reserved.
  3. Choose Action > Set Disk Usage.
  4. In the Set Disk Usage window, check the Reserve Disk option. Click OK.

(To cancel the disk reservation, open the Set Usage window, and uncheck the Reserve Disk option.)
