Caution Change plex attributes with extreme care.
The vxedit
command changes the attributes of plexes and other volume Manager objects. To change plex attributes, use the following command:
# vxedit [-g
diskgroup] set
attribute=
value ...
plex
Plex fields that can be changed using the vxedit
command include:
The putil
n field attributes are maintained on reboot; tutil
n fields are temporary and are not retained on reboot. VxVM sets the putil0
and tutil0
utility fields. Other Symantec products, such as the Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA), set the putil1
and tutil1
fields. The putil2
and tutil2
are available for you to use for site-specific purposes.
The following example command sets the comment field, and also sets tutil2
to indicate that the subdisk is in use:
# vxedit -g mydg set comment="
plex comment" tutil2="u" vol01-02
To prevent a particular plex from being associated with a volume, set the putil0
field to a non-null string, as shown in the following command:
# vxedit -g mydg set putil0="DO-NOT-USE" vol01-02
See the vxedit
(1M) manual page for more information about using the vxedit
command to change the attribute fields of VxVM objects.
