Im trying to figure out how veritas vol manager works with hpux
in solaris its straightforward .uhve slices 3 and 4 for private and public region and can be accessed using /dev/dsk devices
and each slice has a special tag for identification
but for hpux there is only one device /dev/dsk/c0t0d0
and no special tag or device file
so how does vxvm identify the private region and public region on hpux?
Solved! Go to Solution.

There is only the one chapter on VxVM. But there is quite a bit of documentation available on VxVM on docs.hp.com at this link:
http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11ioe.html#VERITAS%20Volume%20Manager%20and%20File%20System
Now just to make sure we understand you completely, you are using the full VxVM and not the basic including LVM with vxfs file system right?

Re: vxvm hpux mechanism
infact wat i m looking is the mechanism of accessing private and public region.
comparing solaris to hpux and see how hpux figure out private and pub region.
this is how it works in solaris:-
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 and /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 is private and pub region and they have partition tags as 14 and 13 in partition table.so vxvm daemon scan the disk ,find this partition and access the private region with /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3
once it get access to private region it knows how to find all the datastructures to get the diskgroup up and running
now take hpux
it doesnt have any specific tag nor does it have specific slices for private and pub region
all it has is a single /dev/dsk/c0t0d0
so i belive unlike solaris vxvm, hpux vxvm has little flexibility as far as storing private region.it might always be located in the initial 2MB or something.
so the vxvm daemons might be scanning /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 and read a specific number of sectors into memory which it know would contain private region information.
solaris vxvm can have private region stored anywhere in the disk.only thing is it wuld mark the partition with a specific partition TAG
correct me if I am wrong on how hpux vxvm works....
thanks gurus for the links

Re: vxvm hpux mechanism
For info on the public/private regions on VxVM disks, have a look at pages 55-56 in the following manual(Veritas Volume Manger 3.5 Administrators Guide - Chapter 2: Administering Disks):
