Operating Systems AIX A thing AIX would do it like no other Linux distro? Post 302307033 by dig1tal on Tuesday 14th of April 2009 11:51:52 AM

i would say AIX's LVM (logical volume manager) and JFS2 are distinct to AIX. its solid and stable for disk management where solaris relies on veritas and linux uses ext3.

mksysb is another great feature of AIX. being able to take system images and store them onto a nim server makes system administration easier.

NAME
pvremove - remove LVM data structure from a physical volume SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The command clears the LVM data structure on a disk, so that it is no longer an LVM physical volume. The device may then be used by the file system or by other volume managers. The operation is denied if pv_path is assigned to a volume group. The command only clears the LVM data structure on a disk if the disk does not belong to a volume group. This avoids accidentally removing a valid physical volume under a volume group. If the physical volume to be removed belongs to a volume group, use the command to first remove the volume group associated with the physical volume. Arguments recognizes the following arguments: pv_path The character (raw) device path name of a physical volume. EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables determines the language in which messages are displayed. If is not specified or is null, it defaults to "C" (see lang(5)). If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default to "C" (see environ(5)). EXAMPLES
