Solaris Volume Manager Roadmap—Storage Capacity

Task

How to Create a RAID-0 (Concatenation) Volume

How to Create a RAID-1 Volume From Unused Slices

How to Create a RAID-1 Volume From a File System

How to Create a RAID-5 Volume

Expand an existing file system

Increase the capacity of an existing file system by creating a RAID-0 (concatenation) volume, then adding additional slices to that volume.
