The enclosure-based naming scheme is a feature of Veritas Volume Manager. It
allows one to reference disks using a symbolic name that is more meaningful
than the operating system’s normal device access name. This symbolic name
is typically derived from the array name.
Do you want to set up the enclosure-based naming scheme? [y,n,q,?] (n)
9** create a default disk group (dg)
Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions 5.0
Veritas Volume Manager default disk group name configuration:
Many Veritas Volume Manager commands affect the contents or configuration of
a disk group. Such commands require that the user specify a disk group.
This is accomplished by using the -g option of a command or setting the
VXVM_DEFAULTDG environment variable. An alternative to these two methods
for some commands is to configure the name of the default disk group of a
system.
Note: The default disk group feature is not available with the DCLI
vxadm(1M) and vxquery(1M) commands. When using these commands, a required
disk group must be explicitly identified using the -g option.
Do you want to set up a default disk group for each system? [y,n,q,?] (y)
Specify a default disk group name for system bdcv8801. [?] rootdg
You have decided to specify the default disk group as follows:
Host: bdcv8801 ………………………………. Disk group: rootdg
Note: If ‘nodg’ is displayed, then the host will be configured to have no
default disk group.
Is this correct? [y,n,q] (y)
