To use the vxdiskadd command to put a disk under VxVM control.
In this example, the second disk on the first controller is initialized.
The vxdiskadd
command examines your disk to determine whether it has been initialized and also checks for disks that have been added to VxVM, and for other conditions.
If you are adding an uninitialized disk, warning and error messages are displayed on the console by the vxdiskadd
command. Ignore these messages. These messages should not appear after the disk has been fully initialized; the vxdiskadd
command displays a success message when the initialization completes.
The interactive dialog for adding a disk using vxdiskadd is similar to that for vxdiskadm
.
