Let us consider an example of a vxprint output from a NetBackup 5220 appliance
running version 2.0.2 where a Symantec Storage Shelf is attached to the Base Unit:
# vxprint

DescriptionRow/Column
These rows list two disks named disk_1 and disk_2. The disk_1
is the base 5220 unit, disk_2 is the storage from the Storage Shelf
attached to the Base unit. The storage belonging to the Storage Shelf
may be disk_2, or disk_3, or disk_0 or any other number.
dm rows
The volume names are in the 2nd columns in rows starting with 'v'
(abbreviation for volumes). For example, advol - displays
AdvancedDisk volume, and catvol - displays for catalog volume.
In the 3rd columns in rows starting with pl (plexes) subdisk names
are listed in 2nd column in rows starting with 'sd' (subdisk). If the
name of the subdisk and volume is followed, it can be identified which
disk a particular volume resides in. For example, catvol is on
disk_1.
Volume names
The LENGTH column provides information in 512 bytes. To get the
size in KB, divide the LENGTH value by 2. Then keep dividing the
result by 1024 to get to GB or TB
For example, the catvol LENGTH column displays the value is
1951154176 which is 930 GB.
