Checking the number of spare disks in a disk group
(vxse_spares)
This “best practice” rule assumes that between 10% and 20% of disks in a disk
group should be allocated as spare disks. By default, vxse_spares checks that a
disk group falls within these limits.
See “About hot-relocation” on page 431.
Hardware failures
VxVM maintains information about failed disks and disabled controllers.
Checking for disk failures and disabled controllers
(vxse_dc_failures)
Rule vxse_dc_failures can be used to discover if the system has any failed disks
or disabled controllers.
Rootability
The root disk can be put under VxVM control and mirrored.
Checking the validity of root mirrors (vxse_rootmir)
Rule vxse_rootmir can be used to confirm that the root mirrors are set up
correctly.
See “Rootability” on page 112.
System name
The system name that is known to VxVM can be checked for consistency.
Checking the system name (vxse_host)
Rule vxse_host can be used to confirm that the system name in the file
/etc/vx/volboot is the same as the name that was assigned to the system when
it was booted.
Rule definitions and attributes
You can use the info keyword to show a description of a rule.
See “Discovering what a rule does” on page 507.
