SFHA Solutions 6.0.1: Using the vxdisk list command to display status and to recover from errors on Veritas Volume Manager disks

[Liz_Semmelmeyer]

You can use the Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) vxdisk list command to display the devices visible to VxVM, their current disk formats, corresponding disk groups if any, and their status, whether online or failing. You can also display additional attributes, including media types, thin provisioning properties, and transport protocol type.
