I want to create a 30Gb of size in three different disks 10Gb,5Gb and 15Gb respectively in VxVm , ..

Answer / arulkumar

Ex: Three different disks.
c0t0d0 -- 10Gb
c0t1d0 -- 5Gb
c0t2d0 -- 15Gb

#vxdctl enable
#vxdisksetup -i c0t0d0
#vxdisksetup -i c0t1d0
#vxdisksetup -i c0t2d0

Create a disk group.

#vxdg init -g <dgname> vxdiskname=c0t0d0
#vxdisk -g <dgname> adddisks vxdiskname=c0t1d0
vxdiskname=c0t2d0
#vxdg list -- Now we can see the newely created dg is
created to 30Gb

To see the maximum size of the volume;
#vxassist -g <dgname> maxsize

#vxassist -g <dgname> make <volume-name> <size-30G>
if it is ufs,
#newfs /dev/vx/rdsk/dgname/volume-name

#mount /dev/vx/dsk/dgname/volume-name /mount-point

Answer / natraj

Ans: Ex: Three different disks.
c0t0d0 -- 10 GB
c0t1d0 -- 5 GB
c0t2d0 -- 15 GB

#vxdctl enable
#/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c0t0d0
#/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c0t1d0
#/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c0t2d0

Create a disk group.

#vxdg init <dgname> disk01=c0t0d0
#vxdg -g <dgname> adddisk disk02=c0t1d0
#vxdg –g <dgname> adddisk disk03=c0t2d0
#vxdg list -- Now we can see the newly created dg that is
30 GB

To see the maximum size of the volume;
#vxassist -g <dgname> maxsize layout=layouttype

#vxassist -g <dgname> make <volume-name> <size-30G>
If it is vxfs,
#mkfs –F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/dgname/volume-name

#mount –F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dgname/volume-name /mount-point

Hi I wanted to know what command can I use to perform a rescan in Solaris10 u4/u5 64 bit machine. I know once the disks are added we can perform a rescan using the following commands drvconfig-->disks--> cfgadm OR devfsadm But they will detect the disks and once the disks are remove the entries are still shown unless the disks are removed. So is there another command or a script that could help me find that disks were removed from my solaris machine.
