I'm not sure if reorgvg will work in Enhanced-Capable or not. It might well be worth stopping all but one node of the cluster (assuming it is clustered)

Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.
If I extend LogVol01 further by 10GB, then it keeps the extended copy after logical volume 2. I want to know where it keeps this information

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)

lvdisplay
LVDISPLAY(8) System Manager's Manual LVDISPLAY(8)NAME
lvdisplay - display attributes of a logical volume
SYNOPSIS
lvdisplay [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-D|--disk] [-h|--help] [-v[v]|--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [LogicalVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
lvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of a logical volume like size, read/write status, snapshot information etc.
OPTIONS
-c, --colon
Generate colon seperated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.
The values are:
* logical volume name
* volume group name
* logical volume access
* logical volume status
* internal logical volume number
* open count of logical volume
* logical volume size in kilobytes
* current logical extents associated to logical volume
* allocated logical extents of logical volume
* allocation policy of logical volume
* read ahead sectors of logical volume
* major device number of logical volume
* minor device number of logical volume
-d, --debug
Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG).
-D, --disk
Show attributes of the volume group descriptor array on disk(s). Without this switch they are derived from kernel space. Useful,
if the volume group isn't active.
-h, --help
Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
-v, --verbose
Display the mapping of logical extents to physical volumes and physical extents.
-vv, --verbose --verbose
Like -v with verbose runtime information.
Examples
"lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol2" shows attributes of that logical volume and its mapping of logical to physical extents. In case snapshot
logical volumes have been created for this original logical volume, this command shows a list of all snapshot logical volumes and their
status (active or inactive) as well.
"lvdisplay /dev/vg00/snapshot" shows the attributes of this snapshot logical volume and also which original logical volume it is associated
with.
DIAGNOSTICS
lvdisplay returns an exit code of 0 for success or > 0 for error:
1 no logical volume name(s) on command line
95 driver/module not in kernel
96 invalid I/O protocol version
97 error locking logical volume manager
98 invalid lvmtab (run vgscan(8))
99 invalid command line
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
LVM_VG_NAME
The default Volume Group Name to use. Setting this variable enables you to enter just the Logical Volume Name rather than its com-
plete path.
