Using vxinstall

- Option 4 prevents VxVMfromdefining aset 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 excludes devices by preventing VxVM from applying dynamic
multipathing (DMP) to all disks on a controller. The controller you name is
excluded from DMP control.
- Option 6 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 excludes devices by preventing 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 lists devices that have either been suppressed from the view of VxVM,
or that have been excluded from dynamic multipathing.
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.
