Creating a data volume container
Create a data volume container from a VxFS mount point or a VxVM volume. The data volume container is a directory on the VxFS file system on the host node. You can export volumes from the data volume container to other containers on the node.
To create a data volume container:
- Create a VxFS directory /dockervol on the host node.
# vxdg init dockerdg hitachi_vsp0_03f1 hitachi_vsp0_03f2
# vxassist -g dockerdg make dockervol 1G
# mkfs -t vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dockerdg/dockervol
# mkdir /dockervol
# mount -t vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dockerdg/dockervol /dockervol
- Create a data volume container.
# docker run -it -v /dockervol:/dockervol --name datavolumecontainer rhel7 /bin/true
- Create another data volume container and use the data volumes from the first data volume container.
# docker run -it --volumes-from datavolumecontainer --name datavolumecontainer1 rhel7 /bin/bash
