vxvoladmtask abort task_tag vxvoladmtask clear [task_tag] vxvoladmtask list vxvoladmtask [-t time] [-n] monitor task_tag vxvoladmtask set task_tag=new_task_tag DESCRIPTION
The vxvoladmtask utility can be used to perform basic administrative operations on tasks that have been created by the Intelligent Storage Provisioning (ISP) feature of Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM). You can use the command to list ISP tasks, to monitor their states, and if required, to cancel tasks. KEYWORDS
abort Cancels the specified ISP task. clear Removes all ISP task objects from the specified task. If no task is specified, this keyword clears all task objects for tasks that have a status of CANCELLED, DONE or FAILED. help Displays information on vxvoladmtask usage. list Lists all ISP tasks. monitor Monitors the specified ISP task. set Renames the tag for an ISP task. OPTIONS
-n Monitors ISP tasks that are newly registered while the program is running, as well as the specified ISP tasks. This option applies only to the monitor keyword. -t time Exits monitoring after time seconds. This option applies only to the monitor keyword. EXAMPLES
List all ISP tasks: vxvoladmtask list Remove the ISP task object with the tag, Task1: vxvoladmtask clear Task1 Cancel the allocator task object with the tag, Task2: vxvoladmtask abort Task2 EXIT STATUS
The vxvoladmtask utility exits with a non-zero status if the attempted operation fails. A non-zero exit code is not a complete indicator of the problems encountered, but rather denotes the first condition that prevented further execution of the utility. SEE ALSO
