Disk mirroring

[ranjit]

I'm an AIX user who would like to know:

1)What is the best way of determining whether or not mirroring existing on a system using Solstice Disk Suite or Veritas Volume Manager?

2)Number of (un)mirrored partitions?

I would like to use the output of the relevant commands as input for a System Config gathering script.

Thanks in advance,

metastat is the command to see "what is mirrored" with disksuite. The quick way to see if the system is using disksuite is df -k. The output of the logical volumes (slices in solaris) will be something like this: /dev/md/dsk/xxx. Otherwise, you might see /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s1.
If your using Veritas, it would show vx in the logical volume name/path. Once we establish what LVM you're using, it will be easer to answer the more specific questions.

vxprint -Ath would list all your Veritas volumes, if present. Annihilannic.
