This operation displays a screen similar to the following:
When you select an item from the list, VxDBA first displays the location of the file and then its
contents. Use the space bar to page through the file contents. If VxDBA cannot find a configuration
file, you will see a (missing) designation after the selection option description.
Note You cannot edit the configuration files from within VxDBA; you can only view their
contents.
Examining Database Environment Information
Use the Examine Volume/File System/Database Configuration menu option to display system
configuration and database information that can assist you in determining if your database is
configured properly on top of VERITAS products and the operating system.
Note The database must be running in archivelog mode.
By default, only users with superuser (root) privileges have permission to run vxtunefs and
vxdisk commands. To allow database administrators to use these commands, you need to change
these commands as follows:
# chown root:dba /opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin/vxtunefs
# chmod 4550 /opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin/vxtunefs
# chown root:dba /usr/sbin/vxdisk
