To see the default values of a specified rule’s attributes, use the check keyword as shown
here:
# vxse_stripes2 check
vxse_stripes2 - TUNEABLES
----------------------------------------------------------
VxVM vxse:vxse_stripes2 INFO V-5-1-5546
too_wide_stripe - (16) columns in a striped volume
too_narrow_stripe - (3) columns in a striped volume
Storage Expert lists the default value of each of the rule’s attributes.
A full list of rules and the default values of their attributes can be found in “Rule
Definitions and Attributes” on page 393.
To alter the behavior of rules, you can change the value of their attributes as described in
the section, “Setting Rule Attributes” on page 385.
Running a Rule
The run keyword invokes a default or reconfigured rule on a disk group or file name, for
example:
# vxse_dg1 -g mydg run
VxVM vxse:vxse_dg1 INFO V-5-1-5511 vxse_vxdg1 - RESULTS
----------------------------------------------------------
vxse_dg1 PASS:
Disk group (mydg) okay amount of disks in this disk group (4)
This indicates that the specified disk group (mydg) met the conditions specified in the
rule. See “Rule Result Types” on page 385 for a list of the possible result types.
Note You can set Storage Expert to run as a cron job to notify administrators and
automatically archive reports.
