Displaying information about storage pools
Displaying information about storage pools
To display information about one or more storage pools, use the following
command:
# vxpool [-g diskgroup ] print storage_pool \
[
storage_pool ...]
For example, the following command displays information about the storage
pool, ReliablePool:
# vxpool -g mydg print ReliablePool
TY NAME AUTOGROW SELFSUFFICIENT DESCRIPTION
st ReliablePool 2 2 -
dm disk04 - - -
dm disk02 - - -
dm disk01 - - -
The command displays the policies and description for each specified storage
pool, together with a list of the disks that are associated with the storage pool.
Note: The vxpool print command displays only disks that are in a pool, and
which have at least one path available. Use the
vxprint command to list full
information about disks and their states.
Displaying storage pool policies
To display the policies that are set on a storage pool, use the vxpool getpolicy
command as shown here:
# vxpool [-g diskgroup ] pool getpolicy storage_pool
In the following example, this command is used to display the policies for the
storage pool, ReliablePool:
# vxpool -g mydg pool getpolicy ReliablePool
Autogrow Selfsufficient
2 1
Changing the policies on a storage pool
By default, ISP sets the values of the autogrow policy to diskgroup, and the
selfsufficient policy to pool. To change the policies that are set on a
storage pool, use the
vxpool setpolicy command:
# vxpool [-g diskgroup ] setpolicy storage_pool \
[autogrow={1|pool}|{2|diskgroup}] \
[selfsufficient={1|pool}|{2|diskgroup}|{3|host}]
The existing pool policies are overwritten by the new levels that you set.
