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 allocates space from disks other than the reserved disk.

Procedure 3-2 To reserve a disk

Follow the instructions in “Adding a Disk to VxVM” to place the disk under VxVM control and in a dynamic disk group.
Select the disk to be reserved.
Choose Action > Set Disk Usage.
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.)




	NOTE: Before you select the `Reserve Disk` option, make sure the disk is under VxVM control and in a dynamic disk group. A reserved disk is not available for general use. A reserved disk can only be used if you specify the reserved disk when you perform a task.
