k = forces vxvm to take media name of the failed disk & assign it to the new disk Vxdg init = cds=off - initialize a non-cds disk group c = Checks to see if reattach is possible Note: disk must have a private region otherwise you need to initialise the disk Vxdiskadd c1t0d0 or c1 (all disk on controller) Note: format can be either sliced, simple, cdsdisk or none (see above - Disk Regions) Vxdisksetup -i format=sliced - initialized a disk as a sliced disk p = when you want to check that the restore is correct (use vxprint to check) # either one of the below after the precommit usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxconfigbackup -l /var/vxvm/backups Vxconfigd -k -x cleartempdir - clear the /var/vxvm/tempdb Vxdisk list | grep -i configs - db locationĭelete or deported disk group config files Vxdg list | grep permlen - the size of the configuration db Private and public are the same partition but continuous (slice 3) Moving between different O/S's but not suitable for boot parttions. Tis type of disk is not suitable for moving between different O/S's butĪnd public regions are one slice (slice 7), this type is suitable for Region and public region slices are on seprate partitions (3 & 4), This is the area that will store the users data. Veritas will try and keep 5 copies of the configuration database. A copy of theĬonfiguration database is copied to each private region within the disk Is were veritas holds the meta data regarding the disk.
#Veritas volume manager 3.5 install#
Install volume manger (use /etc/vx/disk to exclude any disks or controllers) Note: when is disabled or stop mode no VX commands will be able to run List = display entries in /etc/vx/volboot License = print out license info or reread licenses Stop = kill the vxconfigd daemon (Use 'vxconfigd -k -m disable' to start again) Mode = what mode the vxconfigd is running inĮnable = enable the vxconfigd daemon (reread the db) The vxdctl utility manages aspects of the state of the volume configuration daemon vxconfigd and also manages aspects of configuration for bootstrapping the rootdg disk group. Note: when run on its own it displays # of vxiod daemons that are running. Vxiod set = set number of runnning viod daemon Performing I/O in VxVM.Manage extended disk i/o & handles dirty An I/O daemon provides a process context for Vxiod utility starts, stops, or reports on VERITAS Volume Manager
