HP Veritas Volume Manager 5.0 -UX 11i v3 manual Excluding support for a disk array library

Administering disks

Discovering and configuring newly added disk devices

This command displays the vendor ID (VID), product IDs (PIDs) for the arrays, array types (for example, A/A or A/P), and array names. The following is sample output.

#vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxfujitsu.so

=================================================

LIBNAME	libvxfujitsu.so

ARRAY_TYPE	A/A, A/P
ARRAY_NAME	FJ_GR710, FJ_GR720, FJ_GR730

Excluding support for a disk array library

To exclude all arrays that depend on a particular array library from participating in device discovery, use the following command:

#vxddladm excludearray libname=libvxenc.sl

This example excludes support for disk arrays that depends on the library libvxenc.sl. You can also exclude support for disk arrays from a particular vendor, as shown in this example:

#vxddladm excludearray vid=ACME pid=X1

For more information about excluding disk array support, see the vxddladm (1M) manual page.

Re-including support for an excluded disk array library

If you have excluded support for all arrays that depend on a particular disk array library, you can use the includearray keyword to remove the entry from the exclude list, as shown in the following example:

#vxddladm includearray libname=libvxenc.sl

This command adds the array library to the database so that the library can once again be used in device discovery. If vxconfigd is running, you can use the vxdisk scandisks command to discover the arrays and add their details to the database.

Listing excluded disk arrays

To list all disk arrays that are currently excluded from use by VxVM, use the following command:

# vxddladm listexclude
