Displaying free space in a disk group

Before you add volumes and file systems to your system, make sure you have enough free disk space to meet your needs.

To display free space in the system, use the following command:

# vxdg free

The following is example output:

GROUP DISK DEVICE TAG OFFSET LENGTH FLAGS

mydg mydg01 sda sda 0 4444228 -

mydg mydg02 sdb sdb  0 4443310 -

newdg newdg01 sdc sdc   0 4443310 -

newdg newdg02 sdd sdd  0 4443310 -

oradg oradg01 sde sde  0 4443310 -

To display free space for a disk group, use the following command:

# vxdg -g diskgroup free

where -g diskgroup optionally specifies a disk group.

For example, to display the free space in the disk group, mydg, use the following command:

# vxdg -g mydg free

The following example output shows the amount of free space in sectors:
