You can display disk configuration information from the command line. Output listings available include: available disks, Volume Manager objects, and free space in disk groups.

Displaying Disk Listings

To display a list of available disks, use the following command:

# vxdisk list

The output of the vxdisk list command lists the device name, the type of disk, the disk name, the disk group to which the disk belongs, and status of the disk. The following is an example of vxdisk list command output:

DEVICE      TYPE     DISK    GROUP    STATUS
c0t0d0 simple disk01 rootdg online
c0t1d0 simple disk02 rootdg LVM
c0t2d0 simple disk03 rootdg online invalid

Displaying Volume Manager Object Listings

The vxprint command displays detailed information on existing Volume Manager objects. To display detailed output for all currently existing objects, use the following command:

# vxprint -ht

The following are examples of vxprint command output:

Disk group: rootdg
VDG	NAME			NCONFIG				NLOG			MINORS			GROUP-ID
DM NAME DEVICE TYPE PRIVLEN PUBLEN STATE
RV NAME RLINK_CNT KSTATE STATE PRIMARY DATAVOLS SRL
RL NAME RVG KSTATE STATE REM_HOST REM_DG REM_RLNK
V NAME RVG KSTATE STATE LENGTH USETYPE PREFPLEX RDPOL
PL NAME VOLUME KSTATE STATE LENGTH LAYOUT NCOL/WID MODE
SD NAME PLEX DISK DISKOFFS LENGTH [COL/]OFF DEVICE MODE
SV NAME PLEX VOLNAME NVOLLAYR LENGTH [COL/]OFF AM/NM MODE
dg rootdg default default 0 962910960.1025.bass
dm disk01 c0t10d0 simple 1024 4444228 -
dm disk02 c0t11d0 simple 1024 4443310 -
Disk group: newdg
DG	NAME			NCONFIG				NLOG			MINORS			GROUP-ID
DM NAME DEVICE TYPE PRIVLEN PUBLEN STATE
RV NAME RLINK_CNT KSTATE STATE PRIMARY DATAVOLS SRL
RL NAME RVG KSTATE STATE REM_HOST REM_DG REM_RLNK
V NAME RVG KSTATE STATE LENGTH USETYPE PREFPLEX RDPOL
PL NAME VOLUME KSTATE STATE LENGTH LAYOUT NCOL/WID MODE
SD NAME PLEX DISK DISKOFFS LENGTH [COL/]OFF DEVICE MODE
SV NAME PLEX VOLNAME NVOLLAYR LENGTH [COL/]OFF AM/NM MODE
dg newdg default default 4963000 963504895.1075.bass
dm newdg01 c0t12d0 simple 1024 4443310 -
dm newdg02 c0t13d0 simple 1024 4443310 -

In this output, dg is a disk group, dm is a disk, v is a volume, pl is a plex (mirror), and sd is a subdisk. The top few lines indicate the headers that match each type of output line that follows. Each volume is listed along with its associated plex(es) and subdisk(s).

Displaying Free Space in a Disk Group

Before you add volumes and file systems to your system, make sure you have enough free disk space to meet your needs. Use the Volume Manager to request a display of free space.

To display free space in the system, use the following command:

# vxdg free

The following is an example of vxdg free command output:

GROUP      DISK       DEVICE     TAG        OFFSET  LENGTH  FLAGS
rootdg disk01 c0t10d0 c0t10d0 0 4444228 -
rootdg disk02 c0t11d0 c0t11d0 0 4443310 -
newdg newdg01 c0t12d0 c0t12d0 0 4443310 -
newdg newdg02 c0t13d0 c0t13d0 0 4443310 -
oradg oradg01 c0t14d0 c0t14d0 0 4443310 -

To display free space for a disk group, use the following command:

# vxdg -g diskgroup free

where -g diskgroup optionally specifies a disk group.

For example, to display the free space in the default disk group, rootdg, use the following command:

# vxdg -g rootdg free

The following is an example of vxdg -g rootdg free command output:

DISK         DEVICE       TAG          OFFSET    LENGTH    FLAGS
disk01 c0t10d0 c0t10d0 0 4444228 -
disk02 c0t11d0 c0t11d0 0 4443310 -

The free space is measured in 1024-byte sectors.
