5. Add a command to the command output file of the command output file and the command output file of the command output file.
# Mount-F hsfs-O ro/dev/DSK/c0t6d0s2/mnt
# Pkgadd-D path_name product_packages
Note: You must log on to the system with the Super User permission and restart the system after logon.
6. Modify/etc/system and add a line to it after installing the command:
Set lwp_default_stksize = 0X4000
Copy the original file.
7. Check the installation package:
# Pkginfo list all installed packages
# Pkginfo | grep vrts List Installed Veritas packages
# Pkginfo-l pkckage list details of an installation package
8. Use vxinstall to create rootdg.
Select m for installation.
9. display the executed commands:
# Tail-F/var/opt/vmsa/logs/command
10. Command Line
In the following directories, you can find the commands used in the command line:
/Etc/VX/bin
/Usr/sbin
/Usr/lib/ZFS/bin
Note: add these directories to the path environment variables.
11. Several Common commands:
Vxassist, vxprint, vxdg, and vxdisk
12. Check whether other vmsa versions exist:
# Pkginfo-L | grep vmsa
If yes, delete:
# Pkgrm vrtsvmsa
13. Start vmsa
1. Log On As A root user;
2. #./vmsa_server &
3. xhost + system_name (this step is sometimes required)
4. Display = 'uname-N': 0.0; export display (this step is sometimes required)
14. Start the vmsa Client
1. Local startup: # vmsa
2. Remote Start: # vmsa remote_machine_name
15. Several commands
1. Check whether vmsa is running: # vmsa_server-Q
2. Stop the vmsa service: # vmsa_server-K
3. display the vmsa running version: # vmsa_server-V
4. Enable automatic mode: # autostart on
5. display the current running mode: # netstat-A | grep vmsa
6. Change the automatic mode: # autostart off
7. Run in read-only mode: # vmsa_server-R & # vmsa-R &
Method 16: (command line)
1. vxdisksetup: configures a disk for ESX
2. vxdg addisk: Add a disk to a disk group
3. #/etc/VX/bin/vxdisksetup-I disk_address [attributes]
Note: The disk_address defines the controller, target, and SCSI logical unit number of the disk to be set up and takes the Form C # T # D #. the-I option writes a disk header to the disk, making the disk derectly usable.
4. # vxdg-G diskgroup adddisk disk_name = device_name
17. view disk information (command line)
1. vxdisk list: List disk Information
2. prtvtoc: Display vtoc Configuration
3. vxdisk-O alldgs list: show all disk groups in the output.
4. # vxdisk list disk_name: displays information about a disk.
5. # prtvtoc physical_disk_path
6. # prtvtoc/dev/rdsk/c1t10d0s2
Note: The result of the prtvtoc command is different when the disk is in the volume or is not in the volume.
18. evacuating a disk // remove a disk (command line)
1. vxevac-G diskgroup from_diskname to_diskname
2. Example: # vxevac-G datadg datadg02 datadg03
3. vxdg rmdisk: returns a disk to the free disk pool
4. vxdiskunsetup: returning a disk to an uninitialized state
5. vxdg-G diskgroup rmdisk disk_name
6. Example: # vxdg-G newdg rmdisk newdg02
7./etc/VX/bin/vxdiskunsetup-[c] disk_address
8. Example: # vxdiskunsetup c1t0d0
19. Rename the disk (command line)
1. # vxedit-G diskgroup rename old_diskname new_diskname
2. Using vxdg deport and vxdg import rename a disk group
20. The rootdg disk group cannot be destroyed and must exist on every system, because it is an essential part of the ZFS boot process.
21. Create a disk group (command line)
1. vxdg init diskgroup disk_name = device_name
2. # vxdg init newdg newdg01 = c1t1d0s2
22. Create a backup disk
# Vxdg-G diskgroup set spare = on | off disk_media_name
Twenty-three, deporting a disk group (command line)
1. # unmount/filesystem (first uninstall the file system on the disk group)
2. # vxdg deport diskgroup
3. # vxdg-N new_name deport old_name (deport and rename a disk group)
4. # vxdg-H hostname deport diskgroup (deport to a new host)
Twenty-four, importing a disk group (command line)
1. # vxdg import diskgroup
2. # vxdg-N new_name import old_name (import and rename a disk group)
Http://www.uxma.com/sheke/news/pic/8.swf
3. # vxdg-T-N temp_name import old_name (import and rename temporaily)
4. # vxdg-TC-N newerdg import newdg (clear import locks, add the-C option)
5. # vxdg-f import newdg (force an import)
25. rename a disk group: CLI
1. # vxdg-N new_name deport old_name
2. # vxdg import new_name
The above is the first method
3. # vxdg deport old_name
4. # vxdg-N new_name import old_name
5. # vxvol-G diskgroup_newname startall (restart volume after renaming the disk group in the command line)
26. Destroying a disk group
# Vxdg destroy diskgroup
27. view disk group information
1. vxdisk-s List displays the disk group name and ID
2. vxdisk-O alldg List displays information about all disk groups, including those already destroy.
3. vxdg-G diskgroup free displays the free space in the disk group.
4. vxdg free
28. display the version of the disk group
1. # vxdg list diskgroup
2. # vxprint-l
29. Upgrade the disk group version
1. vxdg [-T version] upgrade diskgroup
2. # vxdg-T 40 upgrade datadg (upgrade datadg from 20 to 40)
3. # vxdg upgrade datadg (upgrade datadg to the current version 90)
4. # vxdg-T 50 init newdg newdg01 = c0t3d0s2 (create a disk group with version 50)
