Hi,
I have a situation here where the recommended block size of the file system to be created is 2 KB and the volume layout is recommended to be stripe.
The file system to be used is Veritas File System.
Is it possible to create a striped (raid 0) volume with 2 columns and 1 KB as stripe width?
Platform: HP Proliant
OS: Solaris 10 x64
SF: VERITAS-5.0_x64_MP3.50
FS: VERITAS-FS-5.0.3.0

Hi Smruti,
I am wondering why you have requirement to keep such a low stwidth of 1KB .. can u elaborate on this ?
just FYI ..I tried this command on a test server:
# vxassist -g testdg make tvol 500m layout=stripe stwidth=1 ncolumn=2
& it works
$ vxprint -qthg sandg tvol
v tvol - ENABLED ACTIVE 1024000 SELECT tvol-01 fsgen
pl tvol-01 tvol ENABLED ACTIVE 1024000 STRIPE 2/16 RW
sd disk72-04 tvol-01 disk72 72100864 512000 0/0 emcpower4 ENA
sd disk73-02 tvol-01 disk73 104857600 512000 1/0 emcpower5 ENA
