vxdg free

The Veritas volume manager (VxVM) provides logical volume management capabilites across a variety of platforms. As you create new volumes, it is often helpful to know how much free space is available. You can find free space using two methods. The first method utilizes vxdg’s “free” option:

$ vxdg -g oradg free

GROUP DISK DEVICE TAG OFFSET LENGTH FLAGS
oradg c3t20d1 c3t20d1s2 c3t20d1 104848640 1536 -
oradg c3t20d3 c3t20d3s2 c3t20d3 104848640 1536 -
oradg c3t20d5 c3t20d5s2 c3t20d5 104848640 1536 -
oradg c3t20d7 c3t20d7s2 c3t20d7 104848640 1536 -
oradg c3t20d9 c3t20d9s2 c3t20d9 104848640 1536 -

The “LENGTH” column displays the number of 512-byte blocks available on each disk drive in the disk group “oradg.”. To calculate the size of a volume, use vxprint, and look for the "length". The volume length is in sectors. Convert to kilobytes
by dividing by 2. To find out the free - look at the offset column.
