Hi,

Please let me know if there is way to get the list of volumes on a Plex?.

Also, if a volume is mirrored does it mean that copy of the volume resides on plex1 and original one resides on plex0.

aggr show_space command shows the volumes within an aggregate.

sysconfig -r command shows plexes within an aggregate.

Is there a way to get the information on which plex does a volume belong?.

Thanks,

Mohan

Hi mohan,

Have you gone through this thread

https://communities.netapp.com/message/52210#52210

Plex is a logical term for describing where your volumes are located, if  you are not using SyncMirror  then you have just one plex, otherwise you have plex0 (with actual data) & plex1 (with a mirror of a data).

Answer is Yes

Refer this doc for the complete info about syncmirror enabling and working
