NAME

       lvmadm - display limits associated with a volume group version

SYNOPSIS

       vg_vers]

DESCRIPTION

       The command is used to perform the actions below:

       o  Display the limits associated with a volume group version.

       o  Display the LVM configuration that is contained in and files for the indicated volume group version.

       o  Update the entries of the bootable volume group and the boot information present in the boot disk either during or after boot.

	  With	the  boot  disk's  physical  location changing prior to reboot or when the system is booted with a cloned disk, the entries of the
	  bootable volume group and the boot information present in the boot disk may be out of sync with the kernel. In such a situation, follow-
	  ing  root  volume  group  activation (either during boot or post boot) use the command in migrate mode option) to update the information
	  present in the file and the boot information present in the boot disk with the kernel.  See lvm(7) for more details.

       VG Version		The volume group version.

       Max VG Size (Tbytes)	The maximum size of a volume group in terabytes.

       Max LV Size (Tbytes)	The maximum size of a logical volume in terabytes.

       Max PV Size (Tbytes)	The maximum size of a physical volume in terabytes.

       Max VGs			The maximum number of volume groups this volume group version supports on a system.

       Max LVs			The maximum number of logical volumes in a volume group.

       Max PVs			The maximum number of physical volumes in a volume group.

       Max Mirrors		The maximum number of mirrors for a logical volume.

       Max Stripes		The maximum number of stripes for a logical volume.

       Max Stripe Size (Kbytes) The maximum stripe size for a logical volume in kilobytes.

       Max LXs per LV		The maximum number of extents in a logical volume.

       Max PXs per PV		The maximum number of extents in a physical volume.

       Max Ext Size (Mbytes)	The maximum size of an extent in megabytes.

   Display with -l Option
