To list all tasks currently running on the system, use the following command:

# vxtask list

To print tasks hierarchically, with child tasks following the parent tasks, specify the -h option, as follows:

# vxtask -h list

To trace all tasks in the disk group, mydg, that are currently paused, as well as any tasks with the tag sysstart, use the following command:

# vxtask -g mydg -p -i sysstart list

Use the vxtask -p list command lists all paused tasks, and use vxtask resume to continue execution (the task may be specified by its ID or by its tag):

# vxtask -p list
# vxtask resume 167

To monitor all tasks with the tag myoperation, use the following command:

# vxtask monitor myoperation

To cause all tasks tagged with recovall to exit, use the following command:

# vxtask abort recovall

This command causes VxVM to attempt to reverse the progress of the operation so far. For example, the vxtask command can be used to monitor and modify the progress of the Online Relayout feature.
