The ovm_vmdisks utility takes a virtual machine name or UUID and lists out every virtual disk file for that VM, as well as the virtual machine configuration (vm.cfg) file. This allows you to take the file listings from the output of the utility and back them up to a server or tape.

The ovm_vmdisks utility has the following command line options:

If the virtual disks are actual physical devices directly attached to the VM, the utility lists the device mapper entry on the Oracle VM Server to which the VM is assigned. In case the virtual disks are files on an NFS server, the utility lists the NFS server name, mount point and file name/location.
