Veritas Commands

Examples:
(To see if we have any free space in a disk group)

vxdg free
(how much is in the oracle group?)

/usr/sbin/vxassist -g disk-group-name maxsize

(add a new volume named bobvol with a size of 5g)

vxassist -g oracle make bobvol 5g

(prepare a volume to be mounted)

/usr/lib/fs/vxfs/mkfs /dev/vx/rdsk/disk-group-name /volumename

(mount the volume named bobvol)

mount -f vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/disk-group-name /bobvol /mount-pointname

(increase volume named bobvol by 1576800 clusters)

/usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxresize -x -F vxfs -g disk-group-name bobvol +1576800

(increase volume named bobvol by 5g)

/usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxresize -x -F vxfs -g disk-group-name bobvol +5g

(decrease volume named bobvol by 5g)

/usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxresize -s -F vxfs -g disk-group-name bobvol -5g

(create new 2gb raw chunk)

/usr/sbin/vxassist -g disk-group-name -U gen make newchunkname 2000m

(change owner:group and chmod on a raw chunk to informix:informix and 660)

vxedit -g disk-group-name -v set user=informix group=informix mode=660 volumename

(Note: make if you have both SAN and local disks in a disk group, specify the disk to use for disk space increases. We do not want to mix the two types of storage.)
