In release 5.0 of VxVM, it is now possible to use the vxassist command to create and administer ISP volumes. The vxassist command now accepts the same specification of templates, capabilities and rules as the vxvoladm command, and a set of vxassist storage specification attributes are automatically translated into equivalent ISP rules.
If the -o intent option is specified, vxassist creates an ISP volume, and it also sets up a storage pool in the disk group if one does not already exist. If a storage pool already exists in a disk group, the vxassist command attempts to create an ISP volume unless you specify the -o nointent option.
Operations for ISP that use the vxassist command have an equivalent vxvoladm command, which is obtained by substituting vxvoladm for vxassist. Any other arguments to the command remain the same. A vxvoladm command is shown if there is no equivalent vxassist command.
