I would like to ensure that a volume group has an effective quorum setting of 1 (or off). I know you can change the quorum setting using the chvg -Q command but want to know if the setting has been changed before the vg was varied on or a reboot.
In other words how can I ensure that... (3 Replies)

PVDISPLAY(8) System Manager's Manual PVDISPLAY(8)
NAME
pvdisplay - display attributes of a physical volume
SYNOPSIS
pvdisplay [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [--maps] [--nosuffix] [-s|--short] [--units hsbkmgtHKMGT]
[-v[v]|--verbose [--verbose]] [--version] [PhysicalVolumePath [PhysicalVolumePath...]]
pvdisplay --columns | -C [--aligned] [-a|--all] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [--noheadings] [--nosuffix]
[-o|--options [+]Field[,Field]] [-O|--sort [+|-]Key1[,[+|-]Key2[,...]]] [--separator Separator] [--unbuffered] [--units hHbBsSkKmMg-
GtTpPeE] [-v[v]|--verbose [--verbose]] [--version] [PhysicalVolumePath [PhysicalVolumePath...]]
DESCRIPTION
pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical volumes like size, physical extent size, space used for the volume group
descriptor area and so on.
pvs (8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the style of ps (1).
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options and pvs for options given with --columns.
-c, --colon
Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs. N.B. pvs (8) provides considerably more control over the
output.
The values are:
* physical volume device name
* volume group name
* physical volume size in kilobytes
* internal physical volume number (obsolete)
* physical volume status
* physical volume (not) allocatable
* current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
* physical extent size in kilobytes
* total number of physical extents
* free number of physical extents
* allocated number of physical extents
-s, --short
Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
-m, --maps
Display the mapping of physical extents to logical volumes and logical extents.
--columns | -C
Display output in columns, the equivalent of pvs (8). See pvs (8) for a description of other options with this form of pvdisplay.
