Creating a Volume Set of Mirror Sets

A volume set of mirror sets is a multi-level container that is made up
of a top-level volume set and a concatenation of one or more
underlying mirror sets. A volume set of mirror set’s data is
redundant. Each mirror set is made up of two equal-sized partitions
on two separate disks. See the Flexible Array Storage Tool User’s Guide
for a description of volume set of mirror sets and other container
concepts.
