Help with LVM
Sorry for the noob question; my experience is with Solaris.
Am I reading this right? Are these disks completely unused? Not possibly raw disks for informix or something?
hdisk5 0K-08-ff-0,1 Optimal RAID 10 Array 285.7GB
pdisk20 0K-08-00-2,0 Active Array Member 142.8GB
pdisk21 0K-08-00-3,0 Active Array Member 142.8GB
pdisk27 0K-08-00-10,0 Active Array Member 142.8GB
pdisk28 0K-08-00-11,0 Active Array Member 142.8GB
[root@hostname /]# lspv -l hdisk5
0516-320 : Physical volume 00c532da401f3c830000000000000000 is not assigned to
a volume group.

and these pdisks? unused?
# sisraidmgr -L -j1 -l 'sisioa2'

pdisk32 0K-08-00-4,0 Active Array Candidate 142.8GB
pdisk33 0K-08-00-5,0 Active Array Candidate 142.8GB
pdisk35 0K-08-00-8,0 Active Array Candidate 142.8GB
pdisk36 0K-08-00-9,0 Active Array Candidate 142.8GB
pdisk37 0K-08-00-10,0 Active Array Candidate 142.8GB
pdisk38 0K-08-00-11,0 Active Array Candidate 142.8GB
pdisk39 0K-08-00-12,0 Active Array Candidate 142.8GB
pdisk40 0K-08-00-13,0 Active Array Candidate 142.8GB
Can pdisks be used for data or do they have to be assigned to hdisks first?
Thanks
