Defaults files
In the defaults files, a line that is empty, or that begins with a ‘‘#’’ character in
the first column, is treated as a comment, and is ignored.
Apart from comment lines, all other lines must define attributes and their
values using the format
attribute=value . Each line starts in the first column,
and is terminated by the value. No white space is allowed around the = sign.
vxdg Specifies default values for the cds,
default_activation_mode and enable_activation
parameters to the vxdg command. The
default_activation_mode and enable_activation
parameters are only used with shared disk groups in a cluster.
The following is a sample vxdg defaults file:
cds=on
See the vxdg(1M) manual page.
vxdisk Specifies default values for the format and privlen
parameters to the vxdisk and vxdisksetup commands. These
commands are used when disks are initialized by VxVM for the
first time.They are also called implicitly by the vxdiskadm
command and the Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) GUI.
The following is a sample vxdisk defaults file:
format=cdsdisk
privlen=2048
See the vxdisk(1M) manual page.
See the vxdisksetup(1M) manual page.
vxencap
Specifies default values for the format, privlen, privoffset
and puboffset parameters to the vxencap and vxlvmencap
commands. These commands are used when disks with existing
partitions or slices are encapsulated, or when LVM disks are
converted to VM disks. It is also called implicitly by the
vxdiskadm, vxconvert (on AIX) and vxvmconvert
(on HP-UX) commands, and by the VEA.
The following is a sample vxencap defaults file:
format=sliced
privlen=4096
privoffset=0
puboffset=1
See the vxencap(1M) manual page.
See the vxconvert(1M) manual page.
See the vxvmconvert(1M) manual page.
