Displaying DMP Database Information
You can use the vxdmpadm command to list DMP database information and perform other
administrative tasks. This command allows you to list all controllers that are connected to
disks, and other related information that is stored in the DMP database. You can use this
information to locate system hardware, and to help you decide which controllers need to be
enabled or disabled.
The vxdmpadm command also provides useful information such as disk array serial numbers,
which DMP devices (disks) are connected to the disk array, and which paths are connected to
a particular controller.
For more information, see “Administering DMP Using vxdmpadm” on page 132.
