VxVM Monitoring

Monitoring VxVM Usage

While poking around /var/adm/vx this week, I noticed that VxVM (Veritas Volume Manager) 4.x logs all commands that have been executed to /var/adm/vx/cmdlog:

$ tail -6 /var/adm/vx/cmdlog

$ /usr/sbin/vxdg list -o alldgs

$ /usr/sbin/vxdisk -o alldgs list

$ /usr/sbin/vxprint -G -q -n -A

This is super cool, and will be extremely valuable for troubleshooting storage related problems.
