The vxedit command changes attributes of subdisks and other VxVM objects. To change subdisk attributes, use the following command:
# vxedit [-g diskgroup] set attribute=value ... subdisk ...
The subdisk fields you can change with the vxedit command include the following:
For example, to change the comment field of a subdisk named mydg02-01 in the disk group, mydg, use the following command:
# vxedit -g mydg set comment="subdisk comment" mydg02-01
To prevent a particular subdisk from being associated with a plex, set the putil0 field to a non-null string, as shown in the following command:
# vxedit -g mydg set putil0="DO-NOT-USE" mydg02-01
