LVM helper
Have you ever had a need to know which lvols were on which disks? Maybe you needed to expand an index filesystem and wanted to make sure you did not expand onto a disk with a data filesystem. Here is a script to see how each lvol is laid out on each disk. (For VGs with many PVs it may be easier to output to a file and then open in a spreadsheet). It works with both Agile and legacy DSFs.

Enjoy! Let me know what you think. (I really think LVM should include something like this already).



Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh

VG=$1

if [[ -z $VG ]]
then
  echo "Usage: show_vg_layout <vgname>"
  exit
fi

vgdisplay $VG > /dev/null 2>&1

if [[ $? != 0 ]]
then
  echo "****** Error ******"
  echo "${VG} is not active or does not exist on this server\n"
  exit
fi

DSK=`vgdisplay -v $VG | grep "PV Name" | tail -n 1 | awk -F/ '{print $3}'`

PE_SIZE=`vgdisplay $VG | grep "PE Size" | awk '{print $NF}'`
echo "\n PE Size (Mbytes) = ${PE_SIZE}"


set -A DISKS `vgdisplay -v $VG | grep "PV Name" | awk -F/ '{print $NF}' | sort -n`
NUM_DISKS=`vgdisplay $VG | grep "Cur PV" | awk '{print $NF}'`

echo " PE/disk => \c"
let x=0
while (( x < $NUM_DISKS ))
do
  typeset -R8 DISK_SIZE=`pvdisplay /dev/$DSK/${DISKS[$x]} | grep "Total PE" | awk '{print $NF}'`
  echo "${DISK_SIZE}\c"
  let x=x+1
done
echo

echo "LV_Name     \c"
let x=0
while (( x < $NUM_DISKS ))
do
  typeset -R8 DEV=${DISKS[$x]}
  echo "${DEV}\c"
  let x=x+1
done
echo

for LV in `vgdisplay -v $VG | grep "LV Name" | awk -F/ '{print $NF}' | sort `
do

  typeset -L12 LV_NAME=$LV
  echo "${LV_NAME}\c"
  set -A LV_DISKS `lvdisplay -v /dev/$VG/$LV | grep $DSK | grep -v current | awk '{split($1,a,"/"); print a[4]}' | sort -n`
  set -A PE_ON_DISK `lvdisplay -v /dev/$VG/$LV | grep $DSK | grep -v current | awk '{print $2}'`
  let x=0
  while (( x < $NUM_DISKS ))
  do
    let y=0
    NUM=${#LV_DISKS[*]}
    while (( y < $NUM ))
    do
      if [[ ${DISKS[$x]} = ${LV_DISKS[$y]} ]]
      then
        typeset -R8 SIZE=${PE_ON_DISK[$y]}
        let y=$NUM
      else
        typeset -R8 SIZE="-"
      fi
      let y=y+1
    done
    echo "${SIZE}\c"
    let x=x+1
  done
  echo
done

for p in Total Free
do
  typeset -R12 LABEL="${p} PE"
  echo "${LABEL}\c"
  let x=0
  while (( x < $NUM_DISKS ))
    do
      SIZE=`pvdisplay /dev/$DSK/${DISKS[$x]} | grep "${p} PE" | awk '{print $NF}'`
      typeset -R8 TOT=$SIZE
      echo "${TOT}\c"
      let x=x+1
    done
    echo
done

Awesome! Thank you very much for the script. I came across this situation couple of times for Linux and HP-UX. I scratched my head, tried to guesstimate, and gave up at last.

Just to let you know, although I can make up what the script is actually doing, it would be very helpful, if you comment it properly so that others can understand and use the similar idea in different platforms. Smilie

Did you test with alternate pathing?

(OK, I do strange configs when I want to optimize throughput... here you have LUNS that are RAID5 luns, I use in PVG and stripe... using 2 HBAs so you see them thruogh the 2 paths (alternate links...))

(HP-UX 11.11 PA-RISC...)
This is not the worst I did... I have a volume group with 3 PVG where I made 3 set of stripes: 2 set of lvols striped over 4 luns and 1 set using 8... Now I sweat when it comes to add extents...

I hope I have not discouraged you with my post...

Good luck!
And yes if the script were correctly documented, I could have looked a bit but now Im stressed by stranges issues and urgent jobs to do and check before monday...
