 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The vxddladm utility is an administrative interface to the dynamic
      array support facility of the Device Discovery Layer(DDL).  This
      utility lists the types of arrays supported, adds or removes array
      support from DDL, and allows dynamic addition of JBOD support for
      disks from different vendors.  It additionally lists supported JBODs,
      and allows addition or removal of JBOD support.  The vxddladm utility
      is also used to customize the set of array libraries that can
      participate in device discovery.

 KEYWORDS    [Toc]    [Back]
      addjbod   Adds disks having the specified VID and PID in the JBOD
                category (DISKS).

      excludearray
                Excludes the specified array libraries from participating in
                device discovery. This does not remove the specified
                libraries from the system. As a result, vxddladm listsupport
                displays the corresponding disk arrays.

      includearray
                Includes the array libraries previously excluded by
                excludearray.  These can be used for device discovery
                operations.

      listexclude
                Lists information about the disk array libraries excluded
                from device discovery functionality.

      listjbod  Lists information about the types of disks supported in JBOD
                category (DISKS).

      listsupport
                Lists information about supported disk arrays.

      rmjbod    Removes disk with the specified VID and PID from the JBOD
                category (DISKS).  These disks are categorized as
                OTHER_DISKS and are not multipathed.

 ATTRIBUTES    [Toc]    [Back]
      The attribute all selects all objects for an operation.

      Other attributes are specified using the format attribute=value.

      arrayname Name of the array on which the operation is performed.

      length    Size of the field containing unique disk serial number.

      libname   Name of the array library on which the operation has to be
                performed.

      offset    Offset on the page code.

      opcode    SCSI opcode.

      pagecode  Page code for SCSI command.

      pid       Product ID of the disk array.

      vid       Vendor ID of the disk array.

      Note: The value for vid and pid should be taken from the output of the
      vxddladm listsupport command. These values may be different from the
      actual vid and pid values of the disks within an array.
