Listing disk devices in SAM

To list disk devices in SAM, from the Disks and File Systems SAM area, select Disk

Devices. The Disk Devices screen lists the system’s disk devices. When VxVM is

installed on the system, SAM includes a “Use” column to indicate whether a disk is under

LVM or VxVM control, or whether it is unused.

If a VxVM disk is online and part of a disk group, the disk group name is listed under the

“Volume Group” column. If a VxVM disk is initialized, but not yet part of a disk group, it

is listed under the “Volume Group” column.

Figure 4-1shows a Disk Devices screen for a system with three VxVM disks, one LVM

disk, and a CD device. One of the VxVM disks is part of the rootdg disk group. The

second disk is part of the maroon disk group. the third disk, which is listed under the

“Volume Group” column, is not yet part of a disk group.
