Disk Group Utilities
The Volume Manager provides a menu interface, vxdiskadm, and a
command line utility, vxdg, to manage disk groups. These utilities are
described as follows:
• The vxdiskadm utility is the Volume Manager Support Operations
menu interface. This utility provides a menu of disk operations. Each
entry in the main menu leads you through a particular task by
providing you with information and prompts. Default answers are
provided for many questions so you can easily select common
answers.
• The vxdg utility is the command-line utility for operating on disk
groups. The vxdg utility creates new disk groups, adds and removes
disks from disk groups, and enables (imports) or disables (deports)
access to disk groups. See the vxdg(1M) manual page for more
information.
