Testing all the disks in a diskgroup using the -g option

Use the -g option to test all disks within a disk group. For example, you create a temporary disk group consisting of all disks in a disk array and test the group.

Note   Do not import the test disk group as shared; that is, do not use the -s option.

After testing, destroy the disk group and put the disks into disk groups as you need.

To test all the disks in a diskgroup

  1. Create a diskgroup for the disks that you want to test.
  2. Enter the following command to test the diskgroup test_disks_dg:

    # /opt/VRTSvcs/vxfen/bin/vxfentsthdw -g test_disks_dg

    The utility reports the test results one disk at a time.
