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 ...
Subdisk fields that can be changed using the vxedit
command include:
The putil
n field attributes are maintained on reboot; tutil
n fields are temporary and are not retained on reboot. VxVM sets the putil0
and tutil0
utility fields. Other Symantec products, such as the Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA), set the putil1
and tutil1
fields. The putil2
and tutil2
are available for you to use for site-specific purposes. The length field, len
, can only be changed if the subdisk is dissociated.
For example, to change the comment field of a subdisk named mydg02-01
in the disk group, mydg
, use the following command:
# vxedit -g mydg set comment=
"
subdisk comment"
mydg02-01
To prevent a particular subdisk from being associated with a plex, set the putil0
field to a non-null string, as shown in the following command:
# vxedit -g mydg set putil0="DO-NOT-USE" mydg02-01
