Listing Disk Devices in SAM
To list disk devices in SAM, from the Disks and File Systems SAM area,
select Disk Devices. The Disk Devices screen lists the system’s disk
devices. When VxVM is installed on the system, SAM includes a “Use”
column to indicate whether a disk is under LVM or VxVM control, or
whether it is unused.
If a VxVM disk is online and part of a disk group, the disk group name is
listed under the “Volume Group” column. If a VxVM disk is initialized,
but not yet part of a disk group, it is listed under the “Volume Group”
column.
The following figure shows a Disk Devices screen for a system with three
VxVM disks, one LVM disk, and a CD device. One of the VxVM disks is
part of the rootdg disk group. The second disk is part of the maroon disk
group. the third disk, which is listed under the “Volume Group” column,
is not yet part of a disk group.
