Using vxdiskadd to Place a Disk Under Control of
VxVM
As an alternative to vxdiskadm, you can use the vxdiskadd command to
put a disk under VxVM control. For example, to initialize the second disk
on the first controller, use the following command:
# vxdiskadd c0t1d0
The vxdiskadd command examines your disk to determine whether it
has been initialized and also checks for disks that have been added to
VxVM, and for other conditions.
NOTE If you are adding an uninitialized disk, warning and error messages are
displayed on the console during the vxdiskadd command. Ignore these
messages. These messages should not appear after the disk has been
fully initialized; the vxdiskadd command displays a success message
when the initialization completes.
The interactive dialog for adding a disk using vxdiskadd is similar to
that for vxdiskadm, described in “Adding a Disk to VxVM” on page 80.
