Mount Emc Clones in VxVm
The Storage Admin presents a clone of a LUN, on the source side the device is under VxVM control, assuming that on the target side we have scanned the new cloned LUN at the OS level (solairs), from there on how do we initialize and mount the new volume.
Please give some guidence on this or a pointer to some examples.
I believe some of the System Admins use vxrecover for this.
Secondly, will the process be different in case of Snaps.
Regards

Hi guys,
I'm running vxdmp and powerpath at the same time. Vxdmp for internal disks and powerpath for external.
The problem is that, on the failover tests which a fiber cable should be removed, the system cannot recognize the disks.
Any hints on how to configure powerpath in order to... (4 Replies)

Hi,
I have a methode creating several clones with the following flags: CLONE_VM | CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_SIGHAND
How to tell the parent process to wait for the clones' completion?
pid = clone( ...)
waitpid(pid, NULL , 0) always returns me -1
waitpid(-1, NULL, 0) does the same. (1 Reply)

Hi,
I'm fairly new to the git command and I'm trying to figure out how to check if your local clone is up to date with the master. I know you can do the same thing on packages with apt-get by using update and then upgrade. Is there something similar with git? (0 Replies)

Both of these Chinese Ardunio clones sell for about $3 USD, delivered to your door.

clone(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual clone(7)
NAME
clone - opens a major and minor device pair on a STREAMS driver
DESCRIPTION
The driver is a "pass through" device driver that allows other drivers to select unique minor device numbers on each In effect, the driver
passes an open operation through to the other driver. This mechanism allows for multiple instantiations of a driver, each with a different
minor number, through a single device file.
When the driver is opened, it is passed a major and minor device number by the operating system. The major number is the driver's major
number (72), and the minor number is the major number of the driver the user wishes to clone (referred to here as the target driver). The
driver calls the open routine of the target driver with the flag which specifies a clone open. The target driver's open routine allocates
an unused minor number. The target driver must use to make a new device number for the newly created device, and must set to the new
device number returned by The new device number is returned to the open through The open then returns to the user a file descriptor that
points to the new instantiation of the target driver.
The driver is an example of a clonable driver.
Notes
It is not possible to do multiple opens of a device with the same major and minor number using the driver. This is because the driver is
only given the major number of the driver to be cloned, and that driver will then select a minor number which has not been opened.
When called with a pathname which corresponds to the clonable driver, will return different results than when it is called on a file
descriptor returned from of the same clonable driver pathname.
RETURN VALUES
If the driver is given an invalid minor number, or if the driver indicated is not a clonable driver, the fails and is set to [ENXIO].
