Adding a Disk to VxVM
78 VERITAS Volume Manager Administrator’s Guide
More than one disk or pattern may be entered at the prompt.
Here are some disk selection examples:
all: all disks
c3 c4t2: all disks on both controller 3 and controller
4,target 2
c3t4d2: a single disk (in the c#t#d# naming scheme)
xyz_0 : a single disk (in the enclosure based naming scheme)
xyz_ : all disks on the enclosure whose name is xyz
Select disk devices to add:
[<pattern-list>,all,list,q,?]
<pattern-list> can be a single disk, or a series of disks and/or controllers (with
optional targets). If <pattern-list> consists of multiple items, separate them using
white space, for example:
c3t0d0 c3t1d0 c3t2d0 c3t3d0
specifies fours disks at separate target IDs on controller 3.
If you enter list at the prompt, the vxdiskadm program displays a list of the disks
available to the system:
DEVICE DISK GROUP STATUS
c2t4d0 - - LVM
c2t5d0 - - LVM
c2t6d0 - - LVM
c3t0d0 mydg01 mydg online
c3t1d0 mydg03 mydg online
c3t2d0 mydg04 mydg online
c3t3d0 mydg05 mydg online
c3t8d0 mydg06 mydg online
c3t9d0 mydg07 mydg online
c3t10d0 mydg02 mydg online
c4t1d0 mydg08 mydg online
c4t2d0 TCd1-18238 TCg1-18238 online
c4t13d0 - - online invalid
c4t14d0 - - online

Select disk devices to add:
[<pattern-list>,all,list,q,?]
The phrase online invalid in the STATUS line indicates that a disk has yet to be
added or initialized for VxVM control. Disks that are listed as online with a disk
name and disk group are already under VxVM control.
