Commands Summary
A
This appendix summarizes the usage and purpose of important commonly used
commands in VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM). References are included to longer
descriptions in the remainder of this book.
Most commands (excepting daemons, library commands and supporting scripts) are
linked to the /usr/sbin directory from the /opt/VRTS/bin directory. It is
recommended that you add the following directories to your PATH environment variable:
◆ If you are using the Bourne or Korn shell (sh or ksh), use the commands:
$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/opt/VRTS/bin:/opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin:\
/opt/VRTSdbed/bin:/opt/VRTSdb2ed/bin:/opt/VRTSsybed/bin:\
/opt/VRTSob/bin
$ MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/opt/VRTS/man:$MANPATH
$ export PATH MANPATH
◆ If you are using a C shell (csh or tcsh), use the commands:
% set path = ( $path /usr/sbin /opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin \
/opt/VRTSdbed/bin /opt/VRTSdb2ed/bin /opt/VRTSsybed/bin \
/opt/VRTSob/bin /opt/VRTS/bin )
% setenv MANPATH /usr/share/man:/opt/VRTS/man:$MANPATH
Note If you have not installed database software, you can omit /opt/VRTSdbed/bin,
/opt/VRTSdb2ed/bin and /opt/VRTSsybed/bin. Similarly,
/opt/VRTSvxfs/bin is only required to access some VxFS commands.
VxVM library commands and supporting scripts are located under the /usr/lib/vxvm
directory hierarchy. You can include these directories in your path if you need to use them
on a regular basis.
For detailed information about an individual command, refer to the appropriate manual
page in the 1M section. A list of manual pages is provided in “Online Manual Pages” on
page 439. Commands and scripts that are provided to support other commands and
scripts, and which are not intended for general use, are not located in /opt/VRTS/bin
and do not have manual pages.
