Enclosure Based consistent naming, or OS Native?
Using VxVM 5.0 on Solaris. Intend to upgrade soon. Currently all our servers are using OS Native disk naming: #> vxddladm get namingscheme NAMING_SCHEME PERSISTENCE LOWERCASE USE_AVID ============================================================ OS Native No Yes Yes Despite this, the disk names we get are something like "emc0_1234", or "disk_12" depending on what array the server is attached to on the SAN. I assume this is because VxVM will not use the very long WWN disk names that the OS uses. Problem is, sometimes the servers with the generic "disk_XX" Veritas disk names get all their disks renumbered due to disks being removed from VxVM and from the server. When this happens, the disk groups get all mixed up, and we have to rebuild them from backups.As much fun as it is to rebuild the disk groups, I should probably prevent this from happening again if I can.I think thatusing persistent enclosure based names will resolve this. Any reason I should not run 'vxddladm set namingscheme=ebn' on all our servers? If I remove a disk from a disk group, then remove it from VxVM and finally from the server, will the /etc/vx/disk.info file update? Thanks.
need understand vxrpint concat for mutiple plex

Collection from VRTSexplorer
Dear All I have some enviornments of SFHA and VCS installed on Linux and Solaris servers. I have output of VRTSexplorer logs for every system. As the VRTSexplorer contains almost everything collected, I wanted to know if is it possible to get the following output of these requirements 1. Which license and version and sub-version is installed on system? like for example if version 5.0 is installed which patch version is installed ? I want something except "vxlicrep" 2. If in the case of Replication, which file will give output of Bandwidth limit if it is configured. 3. If in the case of Replication, which file will give output of packet size if it is configured. Any suggession will be appreciated. Assume I just have VRTSexplorer and investigating logs and need to know the following. Regards
