i guess the size of the disk has changed in the past and the LVM is currently not aware of this.
man chvg
Normaly this happens when we increase the size of LUN on the storage layer. Decreasing a LUN where the LVM is not aware of it should result in a IO failure...
Can someone tell me how to read these damn sizes.
i mean, i prefer to see sizes in MB but that is not the case when you do an ls -l on directories. i have a had time converting these to MB
just for verification purposes, what would a directory size like this = 3499990308 represent in MB

I was compiling perl on a Solaris 10 server. The compile failed because the output of getconf is wrong (it indicates xarch is generic64 not v9. This is a known bug but I cannot find a fix. I wrote a script as suggested that changes it but when you run getconf again it goes back to generic64.

I wish to programmatically determine whether a solaris system is 32-bit or 64-bit. Investigation on the web suggested that the following commands were the right way to test this:
# isainfo -kv
# getconf LONG_BIT
Strangely, on all three of the solaris systems I have access to, isainfo... (2 Replies)

I have 2 big files in the size of gb. They are same with respect to content, both are “,” delimited. Now both of them are created by two different processes but has the same logic.

Hi all,
When we run lpsv -free command on VIOS, it will take lot of time to display free disks i.e around 8 to 10 minutes. VIOS ioslevel is 2.2.1.4Can you have any solution for this problem?
Many Thanks (2 Replies)
Hi all,
We have observed that lspv -free command tooks 15 to 20 minutes to display the free disks and we have only 77 MPIO disks on VIO Server. Our VIOS version is 2.2.1.4.
Please let us know what could be the reason that lspv -free command taking long time to display the output.

Good Morning,
What's a good way to get partition/slice sizes down to the byte on Solaris 9? I've tried a few ways, but only see results like 8.21GB which rounds the number.
Thanks! (5 Replies)

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).
