Displaying and changing default disk layout attributes

To display or change the default values for initializing or encapsulating disks, select menu item 22 (Change/display the default disk layouts) from the vxdiskadm main menu. For disk initialization, you can change the default format and the default length of the private region. For disk encapsulation, you can additionally change the offset values for both the private and public regions.

The attribute settings for initializing disks are stored in the file, /etc/default/vxdisk, and those for encapsulating disks in /etc/default/vxencap.

See the vxdisk(1M) and vxencap(1M) manual pages for more information.
