getDiskInfo(1M)

getDiskInfo - lists information about fixed disks

As shipped in IRIX 6.5. First release of IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     getDiskInfo - lists information about fixed disks

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/privbin/getDiskInfo [-c] [-d disk id]

DESCRIPTION
     getDiskInfo checks all local fixed disks and reports their capacity and
     partition information.

     The partition information is similar to that produced by prtvtoc, but
     filesystem partitions are tested for valid EFS and XFS filesystems, and
     xlv partitions are tested to determine whether or not they are actually
     being administered by xlv.

     This privcmd is used by the DiskManager which can't access the
     information directly because root privilege is required to read the disk
     header and to invoke the xlv_mgr.

OPTIONS
     -c   Also return capacity information

     -d disk id
          Returns extended information about a particular disk.  disk id is a
          string (X,Y) where X is the SCSI controller number and Y is the SCSI
          unit number.  For example, getDiskInfo -d "(0,2)" lists information
          about unit number 2 attached to SCSI controller 0.
