VxVM logical partitions

Hi managers,

Is there a way to create "softpartitions" with Veritas Volume Manager?

I have a bunch of disks and i want to create a RAID 5 with them. On that
RAID5, i want to split that RAID into two separated file systems like i
could do it with SDS/LVM or ZFS, but i don't want to create two RAID5 in
the private regions in the same disk group with the same disks....

SDS way:

# metainit d100 -r <disk-0 to disk-n>
# metainit d1 -p d100 <size>

ZFS way:

# zpool create <poolname> raidz <disk-0 to disk-n>
# zfs create <poolname>/<zfs name>
# zfs set quota=<size> <poolname>/<zfs name>

VxVM way:

# vxassist -g <groupname> make <volume> <size> layout=raid5
and now????

or isn't that possible with VxVM?

thanks in advance

regards martin
