Solaris (8) Vxvm (3.5) : how to access Symmetrix FC disk slices ?
Hello,
Does anybody know how to register only symmetrix disk slices and not all the disk into the VxVM configuration under Solaris.
I would like to make a roodg of only a small slice on a Symmetrix FC disk.
Regards

but you can use "exclude" files from within /etx/vx to exclude disks or targets from importing into the VxVM.
And no - disk is included into the VxVM , then you can do "subdisk" and use only slice of the disk.
hope this helps
cheers

you can access the FC disk as an oridinary disk once it is visible to the host (solaris, format is showing disk).
Here are the steps for creating a rootdg from single slice( c0t3d0s7 ) instead of whole disk.
# vxconfigd -d
# vxdctl init
# vxdg init rootdg
Ignore any warning messages for this step
# vxdctl add disk c0t3d0s7 type=simple
# vxdisk -f init c0t3d0s7 type=simple
# vxdg adddisk c0t3d0s7
# vxdctl enable
let me know if it works for you.
