What Is The Role Of Vxconfigd Daemon?

1.	What Is The Role Of Vxconfigd Daemon?
Answer» Vxconfigd daemon handles all configuration management tasks for VxVM OBJECTS. It MAINTAINS disk and disk group configuration details, communicates configuration changes to the KERNEL, and modifies the persistent configuration information stored on disks. Vxconfigd provides the interface between VxVM commands and the kernel device drivers. Vxconfigd handles configuration change requests from VxVM utilities, communicates the change requests to the VxVM kernel, and modifies configuration information stored on disk. Vxconfigd also initializes VxVM when the SYSTEM is booted. So PRACTICALLY any command which changes the configuration of VxVM objects (plexes, volumes) interact with vxconfigd daemon.
