Creating HyperSwap volumes

On Lenovo Storage V5030 systems, you can use the management GUI or the command-line interface (CLI) to create HyperSwap^® volumes. A HyperSwap^® volume has one copy on each site.

Before you create HyperSwap^® volumes, you must configure the HyperSwap^® topology. See Configuring site information for the system for directions.

After you configure the HyperSwap^® topology, complete one of the following steps.

If you are using the management GUI, use the Create Volumes wizard to create HyperSwap^® volumes.
If you are using the command-line interface, use the mkvolume command to create a volume.
For example, a HyperSwap^® volume is created by specifying two storage pools in independent sites.
```
mkvolume -size 100 -pool site1pool:site2pool
```
