Displaying disk information with vxdiskadm

Displaying disk information shows you which disks are initialized, to which disk groups they belong, and the disk status. The list command displays device names for all recognized disks, the disk names, the disk group names associated with each disk, and the status of each disk.

To display disk information

  1. Start the vxdiskadm program, and select list (List disk information) from the main menu.

  2. At the following display, enter the address of the disk you want to see, or enter all for a list of all disks:

    List disk information 
    Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/ListDisk 
    
    VxVM INFO V-5-2-475 Use this menu operation to display a list of 
    disks. You can also choose to list detailed information about 
    the disk at a specific disk device address. 
    
    Enter disk device or "all" [<address>,all,q,?] (default: all)
    • If you enter all, VxVM displays the device name, disk name, group, and status.

    • If you enter the address of the device for which you want information, complete disk information (including the device name, the type of disk, and information about the public and private areas of the disk) is displayed.

    Once you have examined this information, press Return to return to the main menu.
