How to add an unsupported array to VxVM for DMP purposes?



  • 1.) Find the Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID)

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

    Where device_name is the raw device path of one of the disks in the array

    2.) Add the JBOD to DDL, essentially DMP

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

    3.) Bring the array under VxVM control

    # vxdiskconfig
    

    4.) Verify JBOD is now supported

    # vxddladm listjbod
    

    5.) Verify Connectivity, should see status CONNECTED and in the DISKS category

    # vxdmpadm listenclosure all
    

    6.) Verify disks in the array

    # vxdisk list
    

    7.) Verify DMP Paths are established, you should see 2 under PATHS for each disk

    # vxdmpadm getdmpnode enclosure=Disk
