3.2 Initializing Disks Through CVM

Exercise 1: Initialize all of the disks that are to be managed by CVM.

You may use either the vxva tool (the graphical user interface or GUI) or the command line interface (CLI).

For the CLI, the command takes the general form:

# /etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i devname

The term devname consists of the controller, target, and disk numbers. For example, devname is c1t0d0 for the first disk.

Repeat the command for each disk that you would like to place under CVM control.
