Removing subdisks
To remove a subdisk, use the following command:
# vxedit [-g diskgroup] rm subdisk
For example, to remove a subdisk named mydg02-01 from the disk group, mydg,
use the following command:
# vxedit -g mydg rm mydg02-01
Changing subdisk attributes
Warning: To avoid possible data loss, change subdisk attributes with extreme care.
The vxedit command changes attributes of subdisks and other VxVM objects. To
change subdisk attributes, use the following command:
# vxedit [-g diskgroup] set attribute=value ... subdisk ...
The subdisk fields you can change with the vxedit command include the following:
Subdisk name.name
Persistent utility field(s) used to manage objects and communication between
different commands and Symantec products.
putiln field attributes are maintained on reboot. putiln fields are organized
as follows:
■ putil0 is set by VxVM.
■ putil1 is set by other Symantec products such as Veritas Operations
Manager (VOM) or the Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) console.
■ putil2 is available for you to set for site-specific purposes.
If a command is stopped in the middle of an operation, these fields may need
to be cleaned up.
