Check Disk Status READ or READ WRITE

Srinivas Krishnappa Sha — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 21:27:10 GMT

Hello,

I have a very specific scenario.

I would like to know if the disk is READ only or READ WRITE Enbaled, the disk is part of VxVM DiskGroup and it is HP-UX Box.

I more specifically looking for some command thats there as part of the OS or some command from VxVM that helps us get this info.

I do not know if disk can be set as READ or READ Write in VxVM or not. ON LVM it can not. But in both cases (LVM and VxVM), you can mount file system as ready or read-write.

You can check that with mount command.
mount -p
mount -v
Will give you all options with which a file system is mounted.

vxdg list "diskgroup" will work only if you have the diskgroup imported, but i would like to know the status of the diskgroup before importing.
