You can exclude a path from DMP with the vxdmpadm exclude command. You can return a previously excluded path to DMP control with the vxdmpadm include command. These commands use the vxvm.exclude
file to store the excluded paths. The include path and exclude path operations cannot complete successfully if the vxvm.exclude
file is corrupted.
The following error displays if the vxvm.exclude
file is corrupted:
# vxdmpadm exclude ctlr=fscsi3 VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-3996 File not in correct format
DMP saves the corrupted file with the name vxvm.exclude.corrupt
. DMP creates a new vxvm.exclude
file. You must manually recover from this situation.
To recover from a corrupted exclude file
# vxdmpadm exclude ctlr=fscsi3
