216Creating and administering subdisks

Displaying subdisk information

Note: As for all VxVM commands, the default size unit is s, representing a sector. Add a suffix, such as k for kilobyte, m for megabyte or g for gigabyte, to change the unit of size. For example, 500m would represent 500 megabytes.

If you intend to use the new subdisk to build a volume, you must associate the subdisk with a plex (see “Associating subdisks with plexes” on page 218). Subdisks for all plex layouts (concatenated, striped, RAID-5) are created the same way.

Displaying subdisk information

The vxprint command displays information about VxVM objects. To display general information for all subdisks, use this command:

#vxprint -st

The -soption specifies information about subdisks. The -toption prints a single-line output record that depends on the type of object being listed.

The following is example output:

SD NAME		PLEX	DISK	DISKOFFS LENGTH [COL/]OFF DEVICE				MODE
SV NAME		PLEX	VOLNAME NVOLLAYR LENGTH [COL/]OFF AM/NM					MODE
sd	mydg01-01	vol1-01	mydg01	0	102400	0	c2t0d1	ENA
sd	mydg02-01	vol2-01	mydg02	0	102400	0	c2t1d1	ENA

You can display complete information about a particular subdisk by using this command:

#vxprint [-g diskgroup] -l subdisk

For example, the following command displays all information for subdisk mydg02-01in the disk group, mydg:

#vxprint -g mydg -l mydg02-01

This command provides the following output:

Disk group: mydg

Subdisk:	mydg02-01
info:	disk=mydg02 offset=0 len=205632
assoc:	vol=mvol plex=mvol-02 (offset=0)
flags:	enabled
device:	device=c2t1d1 path=/dev/vx/dmp/c2t1d1 diskdev=32/68
