[Solved] Need help with HP-UX 11.31 LVM!
Hi all,

I've created some logical volumes on a non-production server. I was supposed to make the new LV's similar to another LV already on the server. Supposed to be the similar to lvol5

I did everything right except one thing as somebody mentioned. I would like to figure out what I did wrong but I can't see it.

I was supposed to create 3 LV's on root: /scratch1 /scratch2 and /scratch3.

I just started working with LVM after taking HP classes at work so I'm really new at this.

This is my FS right now...

Code:
(root):/home2/root# bdf
Filesystem          kbytes    used   avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol3    4194304  236304 3927344    6% /

/dev/vg00/lvol9    1556480   21128 1523368    1% /scratch2
/dev/vg00/lvol10   2117632   21152 2080112    1% /scratch3
nfsdsvc-b:/hanfs/home
                   4194304 2024766 2036029   50% /home

The output of the VG in question:

   Proactive Polling           On

The only thing I see is that the LE's and PE's are not the same.

Can anyone point me the right way?

Thanks
