Create a disk group:
vxdg init 'Disk_Group_name' 'Veritas_Disk_Name'='Physical_Disk_Name'
Add disks to a disk group:
vxdg -g 'Disk_Group_Name' adddisk 'Veritas_Disk_Name'='Physical_Disk_Name'
Creating subdisks:
vxmake -g 'Disk_Group_Name' sd 'Sd_Name' 'Veritas_Disk_Name','Start_Block','Length'
Creating Plexes:
vxmake -g 'Disk_Group_Name' plex 'Plex_Name' sd='Sd_Name'
Creating Volumes:
vxmake -g 'Disk_Group_Name' -U fsgen vol 'Volume_Name' plex='Plex_Name_01','Plex_Name_02'
Activating a volume:
vxvol -g 'Disk_Group_Name' init active 'Volume_Name'
Creating a filesystem on a volume:
mkfs -V 'Fs-Type' -o 'Options' 'Device_Name' (for AIX)
mkfs -F 'Fs-Type' -o 'Options' 'Device_Name' (for Sun)
Finding free disk space:
vxdg -g 'Disk_Group_Name' free
Renaming Veritas objects:
vxedit rename 'Old_Name' 'New_Name'
Removing a disk from a disk group:
vxdg -g 'Disk_Group_Name' rmdisk 'Disk_Name'
Stopping a volume:
vxvol -g 'Disk_Group_Name' stop 'Volume_Name'
Disassociate a plex from a volume:
vxplex dis 'Plex_Name'
Associating a plex with a volume:
vxplex att 'Volume_Name' 'Plex_Name'
Scan SCSi/Fibre bus for new disks:
vxdctl enable
Initialising a disk for veritas use:
vxdisk init 'Disk_Name'
Recursively removing a volume:
vxedit -g 'Disk_Group_Name' -r rm 'Volume_Name'
