Writing a new UDID to a disk

You can use the following command to update the unique disk identifier (UDID) for one or more disks:

# vxdisk [-f] [-g diskgroup] updateudid disk ...

This command uses the current value of the UDID that is stored in the Device Discovery Layer (DDL) database to correct the value in the private region. The -f option must be specified if VxVM has not raised the udid_mismatch flag for a disk.

For example, the following command updates the UDIDs for the disks c2t66d0s2 and c2t67d0s2:

# vxdisk updateudid c2t66d0s2 c2t67d0s2
