Need help in scripting to check if rootvg is mirrored or not

newtoaixos · #1 01-31-2013

Hi

Can some one help me with a script which when executed will check and tell if all the LV's in rootvg are mirrored or not. Say for example in the below server we could see that everything is mirrored except dumplv2. So if I execute the script it should tell that all are mirrored except dumplv2.

Please assist with the script.

Code:

BMUT8# lsvg -l rootvg
rootvg:
LV NAME             TYPE       LPs     PPs     PVs  LV STATE      MOUNT POINT
hd5                 boot            1       2       2    closed/syncd  N/A
hd6                 paging         4       8       2    open/syncd    N/A
fslv37              jfs2            18      36      2    open/syncd    /usr/sap/DAA
paging01            paging      160     320     2    open/syncd    N/A

lg_dumplv           sysdump    9       9       1    open/syncd    N/A

Of course. Just post what you have tried and we will correct it until it works.

snip:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
TMP_FILE=/tmp/mirror_check.out
if (( $(lspv| grep -cw rootvg) > 1 )); then
        lsvg -l rootvg | awk 'NR > 2 && $2 !~ /^sysdump$/ { if ($3 == $4) {print $0} }' >> $TMP_FILE
        NON_MIRR=`wc -l < $TMP_FILE`
        if (( $NON_MIRR != 0 )); then
                echo "unmirrored LVs found:"
                echo
                cat $TMP_FILE
        fi
fi

Non mirrored LV whose $2 is "sysdump" are not displayed, this is normal (the script as been coded to behave this way)

long ago it was ok to not mirror sysdump/hd6 BUT AIX will dump to mirrorred device - so that even on a reboot on a single copy after a dump, the dump is there.
i.e. better practice to mirror imho

Moderator's Comments:

First of all, I'd like to thank everybody who has tried to help. In fact this is why we write here and UNIX wouldn't be UNIX without the long-standing tradition of one helping the other and constant discussion of every aspect of our work. I'm thankful for every of you being here.

Still, it is also a long-standing tradition that "help" in our part of the society means "help to help yourself". This means: the one seeking help should show some genuine effort first to solve his problem. The thread-opener did no such thing. And there is also a long-standing tradition inherited from countless newsgroups in the comp.* hierarchy to ignore people who don't uphold this tenet.

I'd like to ask you therefore to NOT answer such threads - not until O/P has shown this genuine effort by presenting whatever he has undertaken to accomplish his task. This was exactly the point of my answer. Please hold back on such threads until O/P has answered - and if he doesn't bother to do so, then so be it.

We are all professionals here and - like me - you probably met one or the other "colleague" in your career who tried to let others do his work. You perhaps do not want to support or encourage persons once they cannot get favours from their immediate co-workers any more, do you?

So, please, use your judgement and refrain from answering threads as long as O/P has not shown some willingness to work himself before.

Thank you for your consideration.

Xray didn't know it - will send him a PM to be a tad more sensible next time. But you are absolutely right Bakunin. That's the way to go.
