Description: State of the volume group. If the volume group is activated with the varyonvg command, the state is either active/complete (indicating all physical volumes are active) or active/partial (indicating some physical volumes are not active). If the volume group is not activated with the varyonvg command, the state is inactive .

What is aixVgState?

Reports whether this volume group is activeComplete (varied on with all physical volumes active), activePartial (varied on but some physical volumes are down), inactive (not varied on via varyonvg), or unknown -- the first thing to check when logical volumes in the group are reported unavailable.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.2.1.2.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-AIX-MIB::aixVgState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.2.1.2.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-AIX-MIB::aixVgState.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> aixVgState.1
