VERITAS Volume Manager 3.2 for HP-UX Release Notes
Initializing the VERITAS Volume Manager for HP-UX
Chapter 164
For example, the VID:PID combination for an ACME Z1 disk array would be
specified as ACME:Z1.
Option 4 allows you to prevent VxVM from defining a set of paths, or
pathgroup, for disks that are not multipathed by VxVM. (A pathgroup
specifies a set of paths that VxVM should recognize as a single path. Only
one path is made visible from a pathgroup.)
Option 5 allows you to exclude devices from vxdmp. It prevents VxVM from
applying dynamic multipathing (DMP) to all disks on a controller. The
controller you name is excluded from DMP control.
Option 6 allows you to exclude devices from vxdmp. It excludes a specified
path from dynamic multipathing. For the path you specify, the corresponding
disks are claimed in the OTHER_DISKS category and are not multipathed.
Option 7 allows you to exclude devices from vxdmp. It prevents VxVM from
applying dynamic multipathing to disks specified by a VID:PID combination.
All disks returning a VID:PID combination are claimed in the
OTHER_DISKS category and are not multipathed.
Option 8 allows you to list devices that have either been suppressed from the
view of VxVM or that have been excluded from dynamic multipathing.
NOTE If you select any one of options 1 through 7, you must reboot the system for
Device Exclusion to take effect, and then re-run vxinstall.
Step 11. After the VERITAS Volume Manager has been successfully initialized, run the
following command to confirm that key VERITAS Volume Manager processes are
running:
ps -ef | grep vx
The output should include the following VxVM processes:
vxiod
vxnotify
vxrelocd
vxconfigd
Step 12. Next, set up the Storage Administrator. See Setting Up and Starting the Storage
Administrator for the procedure.
