I Want To Know How Can We Create Single Volume Group Using 2 Hard Disks.
Creating a new volume group using two hard disks:
The XX in the mknod are hex numbers and the combination has to be unique for the system.

This will add a new disk in the volume group and extend an existing volume named lvolname. You must then unmount the filesystem and then extend it using extendfs. If you have the license, you can use the fsadm command to extend the filesystem online.
Is this what you wanted?
Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.
If I extend LogVol01 further by 10GB, then it keeps the extended copy after logical volume 2. I want to know where it keeps this information

Does anyone have any simple methods for moving a current logical volume from one volume group to another? I do not wish to move the data from one physical volume to another. Basically, I want to "relink" the logical volume to exist in a different volume group. Any ideas? (2 Replies)

Hello,
How can I obtain a lists of disks with their size (anytype: SAN LUNs, internal disks, etc.) attached to the system and not being extended inside a volume group?
The purpose of this list is to be part of a function of a script that I'm doing in order to resize filesystems and in the... (6 Replies)
Good afternoon all,
I'll probably confuse everyone as I'm a Windows guy dealing with AIX 6.1 and can't quite figure out how to do something. I have a P520 server running 2 LPARs and we have an IVM (not HMC).Within the IVM under Virtual Storage Management, when I check the Physical Volumes, I have... (4 Replies)
Hi,
I am new to unix. I am working on Red Hat Linux and side by side on AIX also. After reading the concepts of Storage, I am now really confused regarding the terminologies
1)Physical Volume
2)Volume Group
3)Logical Volume
4)Physical Partition
Please help me to understand these concepts. (6 Replies)
Hi Experts
I need an script to add an disk in to the veritas volume manager disk group.
For example:
# cd /tmp
# view disk
c6t5d2
c6t2d1
c6t3d7
c6t11d2
c7t11d2
c6t11d6
Normally we add the disk like this:
# vxdg -g freedg freedisk01=c6t5d2
# vxdg -g freedg freedisk02=c6t2d1

Hello Guys,
I want to create a file system dedicated for an application installation. But there is no space in volume group to create a new logical volume. There is enough space in other logical volume which is being mounted on /var.
I know we can use that logical volume and create a virtual... (2 Replies)

vxdestroy_lvmroot
vxdestroy_lvmroot(1M)vxdestroy_lvmroot(1M)NAME
vxdestroy_lvmroot - remove LVM root disk and associated LVM volume group
SYNOPSIS
vxdestroy_lvmroot [-v] [-b] lvm_root_disk
DESCRIPTION
The vxdestroy_lvmroot command tears down and removes the LVM volume group associated with the specified physical disk. This is done by
removing the volumes in the volume group and then removing the volume group.
OPTIONS -b Invokes the setboot command to change the primary boot disk to the VxVM root disk from which the system was booted (if the pri-
mary boot disk is not already set to this disk). The alternate boot device remains unchanged. If the -v option is also speci-
fied, the settings of the primary and alternate boot devices are displayed.
-v Outputs verbose messages including a timestamp that indicates major operations being performed.
ARGUMENTS
lvm_root_disk
Specifies the device name of the LVM root disk that is to be destroyed, along with its entire volume group.
EXAMPLES
This example shows the vxdestroy_lvmroot command invoked in its simpliest form:
/etc/vx/bin/vxdestroy_lvmroot c5t1d0
# /etc/vx/bin/vxdestroy_lvmroot -v -b c3t0d0
