Normally you would export the vg and create a vgexport file ( -f option) and create a map file that you copy onto the new server in order to use
and find all as before...
Hello,
I need explanations about physical disks and physical volumes. What is the difference between these 2 things?
In fact, i am trying to understand what the AIX lspv2command does.
Thank you in advance. (2 Replies)
I was in smit, checking on disc space, etc. and it appears that one of our physical volumes that is part of a large volume group, has no free physical partitions. The server is running AIX 5.1. What would be the advisable step to take in this instance? (9 Replies)

Hi!
Can anyone help me on how I can do a basic check on the Unix filesystems / physical volumes and logical volumes?
What items should I check, like where do I look at in smit? Or are there commands that I should execute?

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)
Hello everyone,
I just read that while creating a logical volume(LV) we can choose the region of the physical volume (PV) in which the LV should be created.
When I say region I mean: outer edge - outer middle - center - inner middle and inner edge.
Can anyone help me understand the utility... (11 Replies)

grid-mapfile-add-entry
GRID-MAPFILE-ADD-(8) Globus Commands GRID-MAPFILE-ADD-(8)NAME
grid-mapfile-add-entry - Add an entry to a gridmap file
SYNOPSIS
grid-mapfile-add-entry [-help] [-usage] [-version] [-versions]
grid-mapfile-add-entry {-dn DISTINGUISHED-NAME} {-ln LOCAL-NAME...}
[[-d] | [-dryrun]]
[[-mapfile MAPFILE] | [-f MAPFILE]]
DESCRIPTION
The grid-mapfile-add-entry program adds a new mapping from an X.509 distinguished name to a local POSIX user name to a gridmap file.
Gridmap files are used as a simple authorization method for services such as GRAM5 or GridFTP.
The grid-mapfile-add-entry program verifies that the LOCAL-NAME is a valid user name on the system on which it was run, and that the
mapping between DISTINGUISHED-NAME and LOCAL-NAME does not already exist in the gridmap file.
By default, grid-mapfile-add-entry will modify the gridmap file named by the GRIDMAP environment variable if present, or the file
/etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile if not. This can be changed by the use of the -mapfile or -f command-line options.
If the gridmap file does not exist, grid-mapfile-add-entry will create it. If it already exists, grid-mapfile-add-entry will save the
current contents of the file to a new file with the string .old appended to the file name.
The full set of command-line options to grid-mapfile-add-entry are:
-help, -usage
Display the command-line options to grid-mapfile-add-entry.
-version, -versions
Display the version number of the grid-mapfile-add-entry command. The second form includes more details.
-dn DISTINGUISHED-NAME
The X.509 distinguished name to add a mapping for. The name should be in OpenSSL's oneline format.
-ln LOCAL-NAME...
The POSIX user name to map the distinguished name to. This name must be a valid username. Add multiple LOCAL-NAME strings after the -ln
command-line option. If any of the local names are invalid, no changes will be made to the gridmap file. Note that if multiple
occurances of the -ln command-line option are present, only the the last one will be added.
-d, -dryrun
Verify local names and display diagnostics about what would be added to the gridmap file, but don't actually modify the file.
-mapfile MAPFILE, -f MAPFILE
Modify the gridmap file named by MAPFILE instead of the default.
EXAMPLES
Add a mapping between the current user's certificate to the current user id to a gridmap file in $HOME/.gridmap:
% grid-mapfile-add-entry -f $HOME/.gridmap -dn "`grid-cert-info -subject`" -ln "`id -un`"
Modifying /home/juser/.gridmap ...
/home/juser/.gridmap does not exist... Attempting to create /home/juser/.gridmap
New entry:
"/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" juser
(1) entry added
Add a mapping between the a distinguished name and multiple local names:
% grid-mapfile-add-entry -dn "/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" juser" local1 local2
Modifying /home/juser/.gridmap ...
/home/juser/.gridmap does not exist... Attempting to create /home/juser/.gridmap
New entry:
"/DC=org/DC=example/DC=grid/CN=Joe User" local1,local2
(1) entry added
