Last published : Jun 19, 2026
The following is an example of a custom signature script for policy checks in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager.
Note: The following sample script is created using PERL.
\#!/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/perl
BEGIN { @INC = ("/opt/VRTSsfmh/lib/modules"); }
use strict;

if ($ARGV[0] eq "--what")
{
    print "CHECK_ID: PC_VXVM_UNUSED_VOLUMES\n";
    print "CHECK_NAME: VxVM Unused Volumes\n";
    print "CHECK_DESCRIPTION: Check to see if any VxVM volumes are unused.\n";
    print "CHECK_KEYWORDS: UTILIZATION,UNIX,VXVM\n";
    exit (0);
}

if($^O =~ /Win32/i)
{
    print "RESULT_RC=100\n";
    print "RESULT_TXT=Windows host detected\n";
    print "RESULT_REMEDY=This check is intended only for unix hosts\n";\
    exit(100);
}

my $exitcode = 0;
my @items = `/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/vxlist -t stats vol`;
my $iocount = {};

foreach (@items) {
  if(/^vol\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(read|write)\s+(\S+)\s+/) {
    my $name = $2."/".$1;
    $iocount->{$name} += $4;
  }
}
foreach (keys %$iocount) {
  if($iocount->{$_} == 0) {
     /(\S+)\/(\S+)/;
     print "RESULT_RC=2\n";
     print "RESULT_TXT=VxVM volume $2 in disk group $1 may be unused.
            It has performed no I/O since last reboot.\n";
     print "RESULT_REMEDY=There may be data on the volume, such as an unmounted file system.
            If not, space can be reclaimed by deleting the volume,\n";
     $exitcode = 2;
  }
}

exit($exitcode);
