Veritas settings

I'm not sure what versions of Veritas this applies to. It might be all or only older ones.

• The file /etc/vx/dmppolicy.info contains some settings that veritas uses. There's a sample

  arraytype
  #
  arrayname
  #
  enclosure
  #
  naming
  scheme=ebn persistence=no
  #



• The file /etc/vx/disk.info contains a mapping from the sym identification of a disk to the Veritas EBN. It's used whe the persistence=yes option is used in /etc/vx/dmppolicy.info. It's format is like this

  FUJITSU%5FMAT3147F%20SUN146G%5FDISKS%5F500000E0112EF5F0 c0t0d0 0x3b40000 0x1 c0t0d0 Disk DISKS

I suspect that if /etc/vx/disk.info is allowed to get out of date it can cause systems to have vxdisk entries for disks that don't exist.
