Read Only Mode Windows Question

Hello,

How do I check whether files system is mounted in RO or RW mode? vxprint command is not showing any info about the volime status on windows.

Any other command?

Hi Mokkan,

You can see when SFW is controlling Read/Write access to a volume by checking VEA or CLI with the "vxvol volinfo" command. See the attached screenshoot for more details.

Thank you,

Hi Mokkan,

Specifically, see the lock on the volume in VEA and the "Access:"attribute in the volinfo output is set to ReadOnly.

Thank you,

Wally

I believe vxvol volinfo will show you this - see extract from SFW Admin guide:

The possible information categories are name, dynamic disk group name, size,
volume type, whether it is a boot or system volume, whether it contains the page
file (pagefile.sys), volume status, and access mode (read only or read/write access
mode)
