Maintenance Tasks
After you have set up your disks and volumes, you need to perform some
or all of the following maintenance tasks.
Monitor objects
• Use the Main Window tree (left pane) and grid (right pane) to view
disks, volumes, file systems, and other objects on the system.
• Use the Disk View Window to display a graphical view of disks,
volumes, and other objects in a particular disk group.
• Use the Volume View Window to display a graphical view of the
volumes for a host.
• Use the Volume to Disk Mapping Window to view the relationships
between volumes and their underlying disks.
• Use the Object Properties Window to view detailed information
about a selected object.
• Use the Alert Tab to view information about errors or failures
associated with objects that are marked with alert icons.
(Windows are described in Chapter 2, “Getting Started with VxVM.”)
Maintain disks
• “Adding a Disk to VxVM” on page 52.
• “Creating a Dynamic Disk Group” on page 73.
• “Upgrading a Dynamic Disk Group Version” on page 75.
These tasks are described in Chapter 3, “Disk Tasks”.
NOTE “Dynamic Disk Groups” were formerly known as “Disk Groups.” They are
still sometimes referred to as “Disk Groups” in menu displays and the
CLI.
