To determine whether a disk group is an ISP disk group

◆

Check for the presence of storage pools, using the following command:

# vxprint

Sample output:

Disk group: mydg

TY NAME ASSOC KSTATE LENGTH PLOFFS STATE TUTIL0 PUTIL0

dg mydg mydg - - - ALLOC_SUP - -

dm mydg2 ams_wms0_359 - 4120320 - - - -

dm mydg3 ams_wms0_360 - 4120320 - - - -

st mypool - - - - DATA - -

dm mydg1 ams_wms0_358 - 4120320 - - - -

v myvol0 fsgen ENABLED 20480 - ACTIVE - -

pl myvol0-01 myvol0 ENABLED 20480 - ACTIVE - -

sd mydg1-01 myvol0-01 ENABLED 20480 0 - - -

v myvol1 fsgen ENABLED 20480 - ACTIVE - -

pl myvol1-01 myvol1 ENABLED 20480 - ACTIVE - -

sd mydg1-02 myvol1-01 ENABLED 20480 0 - - -

In the sample output, st mypool indicates that mydg is an ISP disk group.

◆

Upgrade the ISP disk group using the following command:

# vxdg upgrade ISP_diskgroup

To use an ISP disk group as is

To import an ISP disk group, use the following command:

# vxdg import ISP_diskgroup

The ISP volumes in the disk group are not allowed to make any configuration

changes until the disk group is upgraded. Attempting any operations such as grow

shrink, add mirror, disk group split join, etc, on ISP volumes would give the

following error:
