vxdmpadm exclude ctlr=emcp command doesn't exclude PowerPath devices properly

Last published : Sep 11, 2026
When devices are under the PowerPath (PP) control, the following command might not exclude all devices from the Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) view.

vxdmpadm exclude ctlr=emcp

Workaround: If devices are under PP control, you are not recommended to exclude devices using the ctlr option.
To exclude the devices, use any of the following commands:

vxdmpadm exclude dmpnodename=<dmp-device-name>

vxdmpadm exclude path=<path-name>

vxdmpadm exclude product=<VID:PID>
