Changing Subdisk Attributes
CAUTION Change subdisk attributes with extreme care, and only if necessary.
The vxedit command changes attributes of subdisks to other Volume
Manager objects. To change information relating to a subdisk, use the
following command:
# vxedit set field=value ... subdisk_name
For example, to change the comment field of a subdisk named
disk02-01, use the following command:
# vxedit set comment=“ new_comment ” disk02-01
Subdisk fields that can be changed using the vxedit command are:
• name
• putil[ n ] fields
• tutil[ n ] fields
• len (only if the subdisk is dissociated)
• comment
NOTE Entering data in the putil0 field prevents the subdisk from being used
as part of a plex, if it is not already part of a plex.
