I have an older box (H50) that has it's paging space setup the following way:
Code:
$ lsps -a
Page Space Physical Volume Volume Group Size %Used Active Auto Type
paging00 hdisk0 rootvg 224MB 1 yes yes lv
hd6 hdisk0 rootvg 288MB 1 yes yes lv
So here's what I'm thinking. If all my paging space is on hdisk0, and if hdisk0 were to go bad, I'd be screwed, glued, and tatooed.
Therefore, my question is this - How do I distribute my paging space evenly between two seperate physical volumes?
outta,
Your paging spaces are already mirrored onto both hdisk0 and hdisk1, lsps is just reporting that they reside on hdisk0. If you did loose hdisk0, the box would crash, but you should be able to just start the machine up and everything should be ok. If this is all the disk you have, remove paging00 and increase the size of hd6, as it's not recommended to have two paging devices on the same disk. If you do have another volume group, create a new paging device on it, and remove paging00
On a slightly related topic, what is you primary dump device, as if hd6 is your primary dump device I don't think it is supported, as the dump device cannot be mirrored.
Whilst perfoming some tests on lvm's I managed to crash our test box. No real problem as it is only used by our tech team.
however I would like to know why this was actually caused as the task being performed at the time was one which I though would not have any impact.

Hi,
I have paging size 2048M showed from topas and 10240M showed from "lsps -a", can anyone tell what is the difference? and how to change the PAGING SIZE (showed in topas) to 8192M?
Can you please tell in detail step?
