To add a unsupported array to veritas volume manager do the following:
Identify the verdor ID and product ID of the disks in the disk array.

# /etc/vx/diag.d/vxdmpinq device_name

eg:

# /etc/vx/diag.d/vxdmpinq /dev/rdsk/c1t20d0

Stop all applications using volumes on the array, unmount all filesystems, if the array is A/A-A, A/P, A/PF, then configure the array in autorepass mode

Add the JBOD

# vxddladm addjbod vid=vendorid pid=productid [length=serialno_length][policy=ap]

Claim the array under volume manager
