Question: What does vxprint provide that vgdisplay does not?

Re: vxprint

Simon,

If you do a vgdisplay -v you can see how many physical extents are allocated to each disk at the bottom.

A pvdisplay -v will show the list of logical volumes on each physical volume, and their sizes.

An lvdisplay -v will show the status of the original and mirror copy of the logical volume, including any stale extents.

Re: vxprint

Please,please please. If you are in the ability to keep using vxprint, do so !!!!

I cannot say to much her, but you know what I mean.

HP uses vgdisplay indeed and also calculates in PE's. You can read how big a PE is in it's config :
PE Size (Mbytes) 8
Then look at the disk and make the :
--- Physical volumes ---
PV Name /dev/dsk/c1t2d0
PV Status available
Total PE 4340
Free PE 3067
Autoswitch On

Free PE's * PE size, et voila.

Good luck !

Re: vxprint

Hi Simon,

You can also run the Veritas GUI, which will give you any info at any level you desire.

Just export your DISPLAY & run:

/opt/VRTSob/bin/vea &

HTH,
Jeff
