Description

Error Message

VxVM vxdmpadm ERROR V-5-1-2389 Incorrect Usage 

Cause

The dmp_queue_depth parameter was initially introduced to control the number of IOs sent down to the SCSI layer on the AIX platform only. The parameter helped to overcome some limitations on how many IOs could be handled at the SCSI layer on the AIX platform. The help page for vxdmpadm incorrectly references this parameter on all platforms.

Resolution

The help page for vxdmpadm gettune will no longer reference the parameter for the HP-UX platform.  No existing prior functionality is being deprecated.
