vxprint(1m) -- display records from the VERITAS Volume Manager configuration
|
The vxprint utility displays complete or partial information from records in VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) disk group configurations. Records can be selected by name or with special search expressions. Selecting RVG and RLINK records via search expressions is not currently supported. Additionally, record association hierarchies can be displayed in an orderly fashion so that the structure of record... |
vxr5check(1m) -- verify RAID-5 volume parity
|
The vxr5check utility compares the parity of each stripe of a RAID-5 volume specified by volume. vxr5check reads the data for each stripe, generates the parity for this stripe, and compares this parity with the existing parity. vxr5check can be run against the entire RAID-5 volume, or incrementally on RAID-5 stripe boundaries, by specifying the -i option. |

vxreattach(1m) -- reattach disk drives that have once again become accessible
|
The vxreattach utility reattaches disks to the disk group they were in and retains the same media name. This operation may be necessary if a disk has a transient failure, or if VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) starts with some disk drivers unloaded and unloadable. Disks then enter the failed state. If the problem is fixed, vxreattach may be able to reattach the disks without plexes being flagged as s... |
vxrecover(1m) -- perform volume recovery operations
|
The vxrecover utility performs plex attach, RAID-5 subdisk recovery, and resynchronize operations for the named volumes, or for volumes residing on the specified disks medianame. If no medianame or volume is specified, the operation applies to all volumes, or to all volumes in the specified disk group. If -s is specified, disabled volumes are started. With -s and -n, volumes are started, but no ot... |
vxrelayout(1m) -- convert online storage from one layout to another
|
Online relayout is a process where storage in a volume or a plex is converted from one layout to another maintaining data availability at all times. You can convert any supported VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) layout to another and change the stripe width or the number columns. You can also perform only stripe width and column changes. The transformation of a volume or a plex must be initiated usin... |
vxrelocd(1m) -- monitor VERITAS Volume Manager for failure events and relocate failed subdisks
|
The vxrelocd command monitors VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) by analyzing the output of the vxnotify command, and waits for a failure. When a failure occurs, vxrelocd sends mail via mailx to root (by default) or to other specified users and relocates failed subdisks. After completing the relocation, vxrelocd sends more mail indicating the status of each subdisk replacement. The vxrecover utility is... |
vxresize(1m) -- change the length of a volume containing a file system
|
The vxresize command either grows or shrinks both the file system and its underlying volume to match the specified new volume length. The ability to grow or shrink is file system dependent. Some file system types may require that the file system be unmounted for the operation to succeed, as shown in the following table: ______________________________________________________________ | | Online JFS ... |
vxrestore(1m) -- restore file system incrementally, local or across network
|
vxrestore and rvxrestore read tapes previously dumped by the vxdump or rvxdump command (see vxdump(1M)). vxrestore restores from tape on the local system; rvxrestore restores from tape on a remote system. rvxrestore runs /usr/sbin/rmt on the remote machine to access the tape device. vxrestore and rvxrestore support both getopt(3C) and traditional restore command line invocations as shown above. Th... |
vxres_lvmroot(1m) -- restore LVM root disk from VERITAS Volume Manager root disk
|
The vxres_lvmroot command initializes the specified physical disks as a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) root disks under HP-UX. The resulting LVM root volume group is named vg## where ## is the first number starting at 00 that creates a unique LVM volume group name. The specified disks must have enough space to accommodate the total size of all of the volumes in the VxVM root disk group. The new LVM ... |
vxrlink(1m) -- perform VERITAS Volume Manager operations on RLINKs
|
The vxrlink utility performs VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) operations on RLINKs (rlinks). vxrlink is specific to VERITAS Volume Replicator (VVR), which requires a valid license. The first operand is a keyword that determines the specific operation to perform. Each operation can be applied to only one disk group at a time. Any rlink and rvg operands are used to determine a default local disk group,... |
vxrootmir(1m) -- create a mirror of a VERITAS Volume Manager root disk
|
The vxrootmir command creates mirrors of all of the volumes on a VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) rootable boot disk, and makes the new disk bootable. The disk to be used as a mirror can be specified either by its VM disk name, dmname (disk media name), or by its device name, daname (disk access name). If a disk media name is specified, it is validated to make sure that it exists and that it has been... |
vxrvg(1m) -- perform VERITAS Volume Manager operations on RVGs
|
The vxrvg utility performs VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) operations on replicated volume groups (RVGs). vxrvg is specific to VERITAS Volume Replicator (VVR), which requires a valid license. The first operand is a keyword that determines the specific operation to perform. Each operation can be applied to only one diskgroup at a time. The rvg operand is used to determine a default local disk group, ... |
vxsd(1m) -- perform VERITAS Volume Manager operations on subdisks
|
The vxsd utility performs VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) operations on subdisks and on plex-and-subdisk combinations. The first operand is a keyword that determines the specific operation to perform. The remaining operands specify the configuration objects to which the operation is to be applied. Each operation can be applied to only one disk group at a time. Any plex or subdisk name operands will ... |
vxsparecheck(1m) -- monitor VERITAS Volume Manager for failure events and replace failed disks
|
The vxsparecheck command monitors VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) by analyzing the output of the vxnotify command, waiting for failures to occur. It then sends mail via mailx to the logins specified on the command line, or (by default) to root. It then replaces any failed disks. After an attempt at replacement is complete, mail will be sent indicating the status of each disk replacement. The mail no... |
vxstat(1m) -- VERITAS Volume Manager statistics management utility
|
The vxstat utility prints and resets statistics information on one or more volumes, plexes, subdisks, or disks. The vxstat utility reads statistics from the volume device files in the directory /dev/vx/rdsk and prints them to standard output. These statistics represent volume, plex, subdisk, and disk activity since boot time. If no object operands are given, then statistics from all volumes in the... |
