Note The phrase online invalid in the STATUS line indicates that a disk has not yet
been added to VxVM control. These disks may or may not have been initialized by
VxVM previously. Disks that are listed as online are already under VxVM control.
To display details on a particular disk defined to VxVM, use the following command:
# vxdisk list diskname
Displaying Disk Information with vxdiskadm
Displaying disk information shows you which disks are initialized, to which disk groups
they belong, and the disk status. The list command displays device names for all
recognized disks, the disk names, the disk group names associated with each disk, and the
status of each disk.
To display disk information, use the following procedure:
1. Start the vxdiskadm program, and select list (List disk information) from
the main menu.
2. At the following display, enter the address of the disk you want to see, or enter all
for a list of all disks:
List disk information
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/ListDisk
VxVM INFO V-5-2-475 Use this menu operation to display a list of
disks. You can also choose to list detailed information about the
disk at a specific disk device address.

◆ If you enter all, VxVM displays the device name, disk name, group, and status.
◆ If you enter the address of the device for which you want information, complete
disk information (including the device name, the type of disk, and information
about the public and private areas of the disk) is displayed.
Once you have examined this information, press Return to return to the main menu.
