I have installed the Veritas Volume Manager on Solaris 10. And I am trying to create volumes from the vmdisks. I have created the vmdisks and created the disk group with 2 vm disks. I have created almost 3 sub disks (with same length) in each of the vm disk after the creation of the disk group. I have created the 3 plexes from the 6 sub disks and I created a logical volume using the 3 plexes with the below command.

# vxmake -g testgrp -Uraid5 vol testvol1 plex=testplex,testplex-2,testplex-3

But when I run the below command, I could see the plex and volumes as disabled.

# vxprint -hg testgrp

And I tried to run the below command before starting the volumes as the volume is empty.

# vxvol -g testgrp init clean testvol1

But at this point, I am getting the error as "VxVM vxvol ERROR V-5-1-1654 keyword clean not recognized for init operation".

Could anyone please help me in solving this issue? Thanks in advance.

If raid5 is the type of volume you want to create I think you can use following command:

vxassist -g testgrp make testvol1 layout=raid5 disk1,disk2,disk3,...

It will take care to create the appropriate plex(es) and subdisks on the specified disks in the given diskgroup
