vol_mkdir

This command creates Virtual VOLSER subdirectories in a mount point under the disk vault at: /var/lib/cacloud/vault_01* and create the required soft links to them.

Syntax

cacloud vol_mkdir {mpdir/vvdir|--fix}

Where mpdir is the mount point subdirectory (mp_01, mp_02, and so on) and vvdir is the VOLSER subdirectory or directories you are creating.

For example:

• cacloud vol_mkdir mp_01/vv_100 creates the vv_100 subdirectory in /var/lib/cacloud/vault_01/mp_01 and soft links it to /var/lib/cacloud/vault_01/vv_100.
• cacloud vol_mkdir mp02/vv_10{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} creates the vv_100 through vv_109 subdirectories under /var/lib/cacloud/vault_01/mp_02 and soft links them to /var/lib/cacloud/vault_01/vv_100 through vv_109 respectively.

The --fix option scans the mount point subdirectories and create any missing soft links.
