222 Creating and administering subdisks
Changing subdisk attributes
■ putiln
■ tutiln
■ len
■ comment
The putiln field attributes are maintained on reboot; tutiln fields are
temporary and are not retained on reboot. VxVM sets the putil0 and tutil0
utility fields. Other Symantec products, such as the Veritas Enterprise
Administrator (VEA), set the putil1 and tutil1 fields. The putil2 and
tutil2 are available for you to use for site-specific purposes. The length field,
len, can only be changed if the subdisk is dissociated.
For example, to change the comment field of a subdisk named mydg02-01 in the
disk group, mydg, use the following command:
# vxedit -g mydg set comment=“subdisk comment” mydg02-01
To prevent a particular subdisk from being associated with a plex, set the
putil0 field to a non-null string, as shown in the following command:
# vxedit -g mydg set putil0=”DO-NOT-USE” mydg02-01
See the vxedit(1M) manual page for more information about using the vxedit
command to change the attribute fields of VxVM objects.
