Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Veritas File Manager or any File Managing Utility??? Post 19262 by Kelam_Magnus on Monday 8th of April 2002 03:42:37 PM

Veritas Filesystem and Volume Manager tools are very cool. You can do everything while the system is online. I wouldn't recommend doing work at peak work times, but you could if you had to.

Filemanager is a very good tool although I don't have any experience with it. But if I go based on my other experience with Veritas, it should be an awesome tool.

HPUX has an LVM tool that is a stripped down version of the Veritas volume manager, but they use the VXFS filesystem format.

Hands Down Veritas is the best one that I know. Also, the NetBackup tool they have is in use Enterprise wide by my major telecommunicationscompany employer in all 13 states in which we operate!

NAME
vxbootsetup - set up system boot information on a Veritas Volume Manager disk SYNOPSIS
/etc/vx/bin/vxbootsetup [-g diskgroup] [medianame ... ] DESCRIPTION
The vxbootsetup utility configures physical disks so that they can be used to boot the system. Before vxbootsetup is called to configure a disk, the required volumes, standvol, rootvol and swapvol (and optionally, dumpvol) must be created on the disk. All of these volumes must be contiguous with only one subdisk. The -g option may be used to specify the boot disk group. If no medianame arguments are specified, all disks that contain usable mirrors of the root, swap, /usr and /var volumes are configured to be bootable. If medianame arguments are given, only the disks that are associated with the specified disk names are configured to be bootable. vxbootsetup requires that: o The root volume must be named rootvol and must have a usage type of root. o The swap volume must be named swapvol and must have a usage type of swap. o The volumes containing /usr and /var (if any) must be named usr and var, respectively. See the chapter "Recovery from Boot Disk Failure" in the Veritas Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide for detailed information on how the system boots and how VxVM impacts the system boot process. The vxmirror, vxrootmir, and vxresize utilities call vxbootsetup automatically. If you use vxassist, or vxmake and vxplex to create mirrors of the root volume on a disk, you must run vxbootsetup explicitly to make the disk bootable. ARGUMENTS
medianame Specifies the disk name (disk media name) of a VM disk that is to be configured as bootable. SEE ALSO
