To display information on all disks that are known to VxVM
◆
Type the following command:
# vxdisk list
VxVM returns a display similar to the following:
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
c0t0d0 auto:hpdisk mydg04 mydg online
c1t0d0 auto:hpdisk mydg03 mydg online
c1t1d0 auto:hpdisk - - online invalid
enc0_2 auto:hpdisk mydg02 mydg online
enc0_3 auto:hpdisk mydg05 mydg online
enc0_0 auto:hpdisk - - online
enc0_1 auto:hpdisk - - online
The phrase online invalid in the STATUS line indicates that a disk has not
yet been added to VxVM control. These disks may or may not have been
initialized by VxVM previously. Disks that are listed as online are already
under VxVM control.
VxVM cannot access stale device entries in the /dev/disk and /dev/rdisk
directories. I/O cannot be performed to such devices, which are shown as
being in the error state.
To display information about an individual disk
◆
Type the following command:
# vxdisk [-v] list diskname
The -v option causes the command to additionally list all tags and tag values
that are defined for the disk. Without this option, no tags are displayed.
Displaying disk information with vxdiskadm
Displaying disk information shows you which disks are initialized, to which disk
groups they belong, and the disk status. The list command displays device names
for all recognized disks, the disk names, the disk group names associated with
each disk, and the status of each disk.

1
Start the vxdiskadm program, and select list (List disk information)
from the main menu.
