NAME

vxgetdmpnames - obtain the current names of DMP devices

SYNOPSIS

/etc/vx/bin/vxgetdmpnames [dmpnodename=dmpnode1,dmpnode2,...] [enclosure=enclr1,enclr2,...]

DESCRIPTION

The vxgetdmpnames utility obtains the current names of DMP devices in the format that can be used by the file option of the vxddladm assign names command. Direct the output of the vxgetdmpnames utility to a file, and specify the file name as input to the vxddladm assign names command. You can edit the file if necessary.

If you run the vxgetdmpnames utility without any arguments, it displays all of the DMP devices configured on the system. If you specify the dmpnodename or enclosure arguments, then the corresponding DMP devices are displayed.
dmpnodename=dmpnode1,dmpnode2,...
  Indicates a comma-separated list of DMP devices to be included in the selection.
enclosure=enclr1,enclr2,...
  Indicates a comma-separated list of enclosures whose DMP devices are to be included in the selection.
