Hi there
I am about to mirror a Solaris 10 x86 box (SunFire X4100) onto a secondary disk using svm (current system is one disk). My question is this, on X86 boxes there is a slice 8 defined as boot partition (and also a slice 9, dunno what its used for tho). Do I need to mirror this boot slice... (0 Replies)
Hello,
If I boot up from install media in single user mode (Solaris 9 - if it matters), will I be able to mount a concatenated volume? I have combined several disks into one non-os filesystem and I want to be able to mount it while booted in single user mode from cdrom. i.e., mount... (0 Replies)
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)
I like to increase swap size for my current server running solaris 10.
Seems like the system is not using it's full 16G of physical memory.

We have a 2 node cluster in which only the primary actually mounts the shared VGs at any specific time. We recently added a volume group to the primary.
* The disks in it are visible to both nodes, but the secondary does not know about the new VG.
* The new VG is not a "shared volume group"

Hello Guys,
I want to create a file system dedicated for an application installation. But there is no space in volume group to create a new logical volume. There is enough space in other logical volume which is being mounted on /var.
I know we can use that logical volume and create a virtual... (2 Replies)

lvmpvg - LVM physical volume group information file
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
is an ASCII file that stores the volume-group information for all of the physical volume groups in the system. The information is stored
in a hierarchical format.
First, it starts with a volume group under which multiple physical volume groups can exist. Under each physical volume group, a list of
physical volumes can be specified. There must be at least one physical volume group in each volume group that appears in this file. The
physical-volume-group name must be unique within the corresponding volume group, although it is permissible to use a common physical volume
group name across different volume groups. There can be as many volume groups in this file as there are in the system.
Instead of using the and commands, the administrator can edit this file to create and extend physical volume groups. However, care must be
taken to ensure that all physical volumes to be included in the file have already been defined in their respective volume groups by previ-
ous use of or
The file format has the following structure. and are keywords that introduce the names of the volume group and physical volume group,
respectively.
pv_path
...
pv_path
...
pv_path
...
The variables are defined as follows:
pv_path The block device path name of a physical volume within the volume group.
pvg_name The name of the physical volume group. It must be unique within the volume group.
vg_name The path name of the volume group.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows an file containing two volume groups: the first containing two physical volume groups, each with two physical
volumes defined in it; the second containing three physical volume groups, each with one physical volume defined in it.
