why would you even possibly want a non-relocatable VG ? I don't think you can change it ...
where <max_pp_in_lv> is the size you want the lv to maximum grow to and <size_of_lv_in_pp> is the size you want it to be now. You can later extend a filesystem residing in this lv just with chfs up to the size of max without first growing the lv. It would be automatically spread (poor man striped) across all disks CURRENTLY in your volumegroup. If you later add more disks to your vg, than this lv would remain spread across the disks you have now as long as you don't run a reorg command - any newly created lv's would be spread across the new amount of disks.
If you want afterwards to create a filesystem within this created lv than you would do it i.e. like this (I assume an inline log, that you want it auto mounted after a system boot and rbrw mounted in my sample):
This filesystem would have the size <size_of_lv_in_pp> from the mklv command.
You say you are using LUNs out of a SAN: in this case it is irrelevant if you employ some striping algorithm in creating LVs or not. The SAN will distribute your disk accesses physically to several disks anyway.
Quite contrary, you could (very unlikely, but the possibility is non-zero) run into problems trying to stripe yourself when using an already striped medium: because of "Moiré"-like (interference) effects the diverse levels of striping could cancel out one another and change your pattern of disk access to the adverse.
i followed zxmaus's steps (edited some options) and redid all my steps after i removed tge whole VG, this time i picked PP size as 4 MB, then created LV (max size) mounted the FS then i extended it all the way. but then setting up the LV and VG somehow used up 1Gb from the disks allocated so i ended up with a FS of 119GB. i pasted to the customer the output in MB
First off, thanks for writing a follow-up. Most people here do not and this way nobody knows if the suggested solution or the hint helped at all or not.

This might, depending on your requirements, be a problematic decision. You might want to read this and probably the other explanations in this thread to find out why.
Hello Admins..
I am going through solaris volume manager guide for RAID-0 concatenation and stripes, I do not understand the concept of stripe from following example of concatenation.
There is an eample for concatenation:
# metainit d25 1 1 c0t1d0s2
d25: Concat/Stripe is setup

Hello,
Linux man command search is case insensitive by default, but not AIX man.
How do I serch case insensitive while using AIX manual pages ?

Hello all.
I have a volume group with 8 PV's, and a logical volume striped across these 8 volumes.
However, an lslv is showing:
STRIPE WIDTH: 9
STRIPE SIZE: 64k
There's really only eight disks, so how can the stripe width be 9?
ODM also showed this:

I have a PERC 5/i card. Im using with it 3 15k rpm HDD's (model: SEAGATE Savvio 15K ST936751SS). Im going to install debian on this array.. and im looking for performance... So what would be the stripe size that i should set this raid 0 into to give me the best performance?
Thanks (22 Replies)

Hi all.
A friend of mine just recently gave me an old RISC 6000 machine to learn on for my AIX certification. I installed AIX 4.3.3 and everything seems to work fine, except there are no man pages. Is there a way to generate man pages on this machine?
Thanks alot in advance. (5 Replies)
