Could you say more about your system (model, OS version...) for I am a bit surprised by what I see...
I would like to see vg00 display and more the output of bdf command to understand a bit...
By the look at things, you never had disk issues... (your display is a bit scary for someone used to solve sever issues...) or did the guy in charge realized and ran away before?( with such implemetation you need really good backups AND documentation on all config stuff...)
Sorry about that. I am not actually putting the code tags in. All I am doing is copying and pasting to and from and it seems to add it as a code tag.
I've actually been able to work out how to create the logical volume now. I am now just having a problem with creating a raw datafile for an Oracle database but this is another problem.
Why is it we see no vg02 lvols mounted? where is vg00/lvol10?
Have you noticed the difference between vg00 and vg02 (lvol names...)?
I suggest you use SAM (System Administration Manager, sam command) to go through the creation of such devices, for sam will check before execution (e.g. size...). Later, use command line, its faster...
I have no IA64 so menu may differ...
choose "Disk and File Systems", "Logical Volums" (Little delay: the system scans its HW...)
On the menu bar, choose "Create" then choose the VG, validate, then go to next option:
"Define new Logical Volume", a new widow will open:
choose lvol name
Give size...
It will create automatically the JFS Filesystem in it...
In the same Last window there is a menu box: choose ( I think - I have no oracle raw FS...) "raw" instead of Filesystem, I you choose swap it will create a syste swap device (no good...)
Hello Guys,
I want to create a file system dedicated for an application installation. But there is no space in volume group to create a new logical volume. There is enough space in other logical volume which is being mounted on /var.
I know we can use that logical volume and create a virtual... (2 Replies)
hi,
I want to create a volume group of 200 GB and then create different file systems on that.
please help me out. Its becomes confusing when the PP calculating PP.

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)

Hi!
Can anyone help me on how I can do a basic check on the Unix filesystems / physical volumes and logical volumes?
What items should I check, like where do I look at in smit? Or are there commands that I should execute?
I need to do this as I was informed by IBM that there seems to be... (1 Reply)
Does anyone have any simple methods for moving a current logical volume from one volume group to another? I do not wish to move the data from one physical volume to another. Basically, I want to "relink" the logical volume to exist in a different volume group. Any ideas? (2 Replies)
Hi,
What is the typical AIX procedure for creating a logical volume from CLI.
I have mostly worked on HPUX so far and on which the typica steps are:
1: pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/<mydisk>
2: mkdir /dev/<myvg>
3: mknod /dev/<myvg>/group C 64 <0x030000>
4: vgcreate /dev/<myvg>... (2 Replies)
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
