NOTE Use this command to obtain values for the vid and pid attributes that are

used with other forms of the vxddladm command.

Excluding Support for a Disk Array

To exclude a particular array library from participating in device

discovery, use the following command:

# vxddladm excludearray libname=libvxenc.sl

. You can also exclude support for a disk array from a particular vendor,

as shown in this example:

# vxddladm excludearray vid=ACME pid=X1

This array is also excluded from device discovery.

For more information about excluding disk array support, see the

vxddladm (1M) manual page.

Re-including Support for an Excluded Disk Array

If you have excluded support for a particular disk array, you can use the

includearray keyword to remove the entry from the exclude list, as

shown in the following example:

# vxddladm includearray libname=libvxenc.sl

This command adds the array library to the database so that the library

can once again be used in device discovery. If vxconﬁgd is running, you

can use the vxdisk scandisks command to discover the array and add its

details to the database.

Listing Excluded Disk Arrays

To list all disk arrays that are currently excluded from use by VxVM, use

the following command:

# vxddladm listexclude

Listing Supported Disks in the JBOD Category

To list supported disks in the JBOD category, use the following

command:

# vxddladm listjbod
