So what my understanding is first it is checking the disk under /dev sdb,sdc,sdd,...sdz whether 25 disk are existing
if not then its creating the 25 physical volume.
I tried the below code from my local directory since can't take pvcreate risk
I got below error
I have not created any file like aba,abb...under my local so if the file not present then it should create all the files right why I am getting an error.
I'm trying to figure out how to simply create a 500Gb ufs file system named
/rec using DiskSuite 4.2.1 on a Solaris 8 platform via command line using two
250Gb partitions on two different disks. Does anyone know what the proper
command string and options are to perform this task? Would I use the... (2 Replies)

Hi All,
I am planning to do a LVM replicate to another server.
Example :
server1.foo.com has / , /boot , swap and few LVM partitions. All are in /dev/sda disk of size 80GB. /dev/sda5 is a LVM partition which has only one vg00 and it has 2 LV's (/var and /usr) and a SAN storage connected to... (0 Replies)

Hey everyone.
I am working on designing a logging solution for a deployment we have going out in a few months. Right now we have a single storage head end, connected via fibre to a SAN. Basically the plan is to create a number of smaller LUNs on the SAN, and then use LVM2 to handle concatenating... (5 Replies)
I've three partitions on /dev/sda: sda1, sda2 sda3. There is FREE space between sda2 and sda3 and sda3 ends on the last sector. sda2 and sda3 have the same number of sectors allocated and so are the exact same size.
/dev/sda2 is already part of the VG VolGroup. However, what puzzles me is that... (0 Replies)

vgextend
VGEXTEND(8) System Manager's Manual VGEXTEND(8)NAME
vgextend - add physical volumes to a volume group
SYNOPSIS
vgextend [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--restoremissing] [-f|--force] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [ PHYSICAL DEVICE
OPTIONS ] VolumeGroupName PhysicalDevicePath [PhysicalDevicePath...]
DESCRIPTION
vgextend allows you to add one or more initialized physical volumes ( see pvcreate(8) ) to an existing volume group to extend it in size.
Moreover, it allows you to re-add a physical volume that has gone missing previously, due to a transient device failure, without re-ini-
tialising it. Use vgextend --restoremissing to that effect.
If PhysicalDevicePath was not previously configured for LVM with pvcreate (8), the device will be initialized with the same default values
used with pvcreate. If non-default pvcreate values are are desired, they may be given on the commandline with the same options as pvcre-
ate. See PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS for available options. Note that the restore-related options such as --restorefile, --uuid, and --physi-
calvolumesize are not available. If a restore operation is needed, use pvcreate (8) and vgcfgrestore (8).
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS
The following options are available for initializing physical devices in the volume group. These options are further described in the
pvcreate man page.
-f, --force
-y, --yes
-Z, --zero y|n
--labelsector sector
--metadatasize size
[--metadataignorey|n]
--pvmetadatacopies copies
--dataalignment alignment
--dataalignmentoffset alignment_offset
Examples
"vgextend vg00 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdn1" tries to extend the existing volume group "vg00" by the new physical volumes (see pvcreate(8) )
"/dev/sdn1" and /dev/sda4".
