Does anyone know where I can find good documentation on modifying AIX logical volumes. Basically, I have a box that has 2 file systems that rae 99% full. I would like to add another disk, and migrate a file system or 2 to it, then reclaim the space by adding it to other volumes. I understand that... (1 Reply)

I did not know about the Logical volumes that automatically combined partitions on drive 1 and 2 into one mounted volume. In my attempts to do something with the hdb2 partition - not knowing that it was already in use - I killed my... (2 Replies)
I have just created two RAID 0 ( Stripped ) devices through Storage Manager and can see them as d0 and d1 ( /dev/md/dsk/d0 and d1 appear to exist )
However how do I now mount these devices ? The manual talks about creating a UFS of LOFS filesystem. Do I need to do this ?
I have create /u01... (3 Replies)
Hi Everybody,
Is there any way to know the used space on a specific Logical Volume?
Note, my question related to the LVs that have no mount point & not belong to any FileSystem.
Thanks in advance :rolleyes: (7 Replies)

Hi all,
How do u rename a logical volume group and the logical volumes belonging to that? The logical volumes contain data and are in use.

vgreduce
VGREDUCE(8) System Manager's Manual VGREDUCE(8)NAME
vgreduce - reduce a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgreduce [-a|--all] [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--removemissing] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [Physi-
calVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
vgreduce allows you to remove one or more unused physical volumes from a volume group.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
-a, --all
Removes all empty physical volumes if none are given on command line.
--removemissing
Removes all missing physical volumes from the volume group, if there are no logical volumes allocated on those. This resumes normal
operation of the volume group (new logical volumes may again be created, changed and so on).
If this is not possible (there are logical volumes referencing the missing physical volumes) and you cannot or do not want to remove
them manually, you can run this option with --force to have vgreduce remove any partial LVs.
Any logical volumes and dependent snapshots that were partly on the missing disks get removed completely. This includes those parts
that lie on disks that are still present.
If your logical volumes spanned several disks including the ones that are lost, you might want to try to salvage data first by acti-
vating your logical volumes with --partial as described in lvm (8).
