Listing Unstartable Volumes
2 VERITAS Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide
Listing Unstartable Volumes
An unstartable volume can be incorrectly configured or have other errors or conditions
that prevent it from being started. To display unstartable volumes, use the vxinfo
command. This displays information about the accessibility and usability of volumes:
# vxinfo [-g diskgroup] [volume ...]
The following example output shows one volume, mkting, as being unstartable:
home fsgen Started
mkting fsgen Unstartable
src fsgen Started
rootvol root Started
swapvol swap Started
Displaying Volume and Plex States
To display detailed information about the configuration of a volume including its state
and the states of its plexes, use the following form of the vxprint command:
# vxprint [-g diskgroup] -hvt [volume ...]
The following example shows a disabled volume, vol, which has two clean plexes,
vol-01 and vol-02, each with a single subdisk:
# vxprint -g mydg -hvt vol
Disk group: mydg
