For exampleThis creates the device files /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol5backup Evfsvol check -r evfsvolumepath Dev/vg01/lvol5backup Syntax is as follows # evfsvol display /dev/evfs/vg01/lvol6 Evfsvol check -r evfsvolumepath Disable the Evfs backup volume. For example Creating Cleartext Backup Media LVM Mirrored Volumes Example File Utility Backups Using VxVM Mirrored Volumes Map the backup VxVM volume to EVFS.
