Plexes


Volume Manager uses subdisks to build virtual objects called plexes. A plex is a structured or ordered collection of subdisks that represents one copy of the data in a volume. A plex consists of one or more subdisks located on one or more physical disks.

A plex is also called a mirror. The terms plex and mirror can be used interchangeably, even though a plex is only one copy of the data. The terms "mirrored" or "mirroring" imply two or more copies of data.
