The DISK Object
The DISK object represents a disk storage device which can be a logical disk or a
virtual disk:
•
A magnetic disk is a disk device or device pair that stores and accesses data on
magnetic disk media. For more information, see Section 6, Configuring Magnetic
Disks. Depending on the command, the DISK object can refer to one of these
aspects of a magnetic disk:
°
A single disk—a magnetic disk device.
°
A disk volume—a logical disk, which can be one or two magnetic disk devices.
If mirrored, the two disks are treated as one.
°
A single path to a disk—the primary, backup, mirror, or mirror backup path.
•
A virtual disk is a logical representation of magnetic disk space. This space can be
part of a magnetic disk, an entire magnetic disk, or multiple magnetic disks. For
more information, see Section 10, Configuring and Managing Virtual Disks.
The DISK object has this format:
$disk [ -P | -B | -M | -MB ]
is the disk process controlling the disk and, optionally, the path (primary, backup,
mirror, or mirror backup). Paths apply to magnetic disks only.
The dollar sign ($) is followed by a maximum of seven alphanumeric characters,
the first of which must be alphabetic. Seven-character disk names are network-
accessible on systems running H-series, G-series, and D-series RVUs.
Wild-card characters are supported.
