Displaying Information About Storage Pools

To display information about one or more storage pools, use the following command:

# vxpool [-g diskgroup] print storage_pool [storage_pool ...]

For example, the following command displays information about the storage pool,

ReliablePool:

# vxpool -g mydg print ReliablePool

TY NAME AUTOGROW SELFSUFFICIENT DESCRIPTION

dm disk04 - - -

dm disk02 - - -

The command displays the policies and description for each specified storage pool, together with a

list of the disks that are associated with the storage pool.

Note The vxpool command displays only disks that are in a pool, and which have at least one

path available. Use the vxprint command to list full information about disks and their

states.

To display the policies that are set on a storage pool, use the vxpool getpolicy command as

shown here:

# vxpool [-g diskgroup] getpolicy storage_pool

In the following example, this command is used to display the policies for the storage pool,

ReliablePool:

# vxpool -g mydg getpolicy ReliablePool
