    If you show us output from your environment, we will be able to explain a lot better. 

    Firstly, look at output of 'df -h'. 
    Find the mountpoint that you are interested in. 
    The volume name and diskgroup will be on the left (as per Apurv_Barve's example).
    Yours will look different - what you need to look for are the last 2 'entries' :
    /dev/vx/dsk/<diskgroup>/<volume-name>

    Next, show us output of 
    vxprint -ht <diskgroup> 

    vxdisk -e list 
    will show us how VxVM disk-name is linked to OS device name. 

    If the whole concept of 'diskgroup' , VxVM disk-name, volumes, subdisk, etc are new to you, maybe best to ask your company to send you on 5-day Instructor-led training (virtual or classroom). 

    As a Partner, you may also want to see what free training is available on PartnerNet.
