The vxprint and vxinfo utilities let you display information about your Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) disk group configurations.
vxprint
The vxprint utility displays complete or partial information from records in disk group configurations. You can select records by name or with special search expressions.
vxprint can display disk group, disk media, volume, plex, subdisk/subvolume, data change object (DCO), link object, and snap object records.
vxprint is often used to display information about objects before or after performing a task.
Common vxprint tasks include:
You can also use vxprint for troubleshooting VxVM. These task include:
