# create vlume group "vg_mirror" with /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1

root@dlp:~#

vgcreate vg_mirror /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1

Logical volume "vg_mirror" created

# create mirroring volume

root@dlp:~#

lvcreate -L 50G -m1 -n lv_mirror vg_mirror

  Logical volume "lv_mirror" created.

root@dlp:~#

lvdisplay /dev/vg_mirror/lv_mirror

[2]	Configure like follows if you'd like to set mirroring volume from a logical volume which is already running.

# extend volume group

root@dlp:~#

vgextend vg_data /dev/sdc1

Volume group "vg_data" successfully extended

# set mirror volume

root@dlp:~#

lvconvert -m1 /dev/vg_data/lv_data /dev/sdc1

# confirm (complete to sync if Cpy%Sync turns 100)

root@dlp:~#

[3]	Unset Mirroring Volume.

# specify -m0 to unset

root@dlp:~#

lvconvert -m0 /dev/vg_data/lv_data

lvs -a -o vg_name,name,devices,size
