Veritas Volume Manager 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, November 2009

This command removes the plex vol01-02 and all associated subdisks.
Alternatively, you can first dissociate the plex and subdisks, and then remove
them with the following commands:
# vxplex [-g diskgroup] dis plex
# vxedit [-g diskgroup] -r rm plex
When used together, these commands produce the same result as the vxplex -o
rm dis command. The -r option to vxedit rm recursively removes all objects
from the specified object downward. In this way, a plex and its associated subdisks
can be removed by a single vxedit command.
Changing plex attributes
Warning: To avoid possible data loss, change plex attributes with extreme care.
The vxedit command changes the attributes of plexes and other Volume Manager
objects. To change plex attributes, use the following command:
# vxedit [-g diskgroup] set attribute=value ... plex
Plex fields that can be changed using the vxedit command include:
■ name
■ putiln
■ tutiln
■ comment
The following example command sets the comment field, and also sets tutil2 to
indicate that the subdisk is in use:
# vxedit -g mydg set comment="plex comment" tutil2="u" vol01-02
To prevent a particular plex from being associated with a volume, set the putil0
field to a non-null string, as shown in the following command:
# vxedit -g mydg set putil0="DO-NOT-USE" vol01-02
See the vxedit(1M) manual page.
