PVCHANGE(8) System Manager's Manual PVCHANGE(8)NAME
pvchange - change attributes of a physical volume
SYNOPSIS
pvchange [--addtag Tag] [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [--deltag Tag] [--metadataignore y|n] [-h|-?|--help] [-t|--test]
[-v|--verbose] [-a|--all] [-x|--allocatable y|n] [-u|--uuid] [PhysicalVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
pvchange allows you to change the allocation permissions of one or more physical volumes.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
-a, --all
If PhysicalVolumePath is not specified on the command line all physical volumes are searched for and used.
--metadataignore y|n
Ignore or un-ignore metadata areas on this physical volume. If metadata areas on a physical volume are ignored, LVM will not not
store metadata in the metadata areas present on this Physical Volume.
-u, --uuid
Generate new random UUID for specified physical volumes.
-x, --allocatable y|n
Enable or disable allocation of physical extents on this physical volume.
Example
"pvchange -x n /dev/sdk1" disallows the allocation of physical extents on this physical volume (possibly because of disk errors, or because
it will be removed after freeing it.

I was in smit, checking on disc space, etc. and it appears that one of our physical volumes that is part of a large volume group, has no free physical partitions. The server is running AIX 5.1. What would be the advisable step to take in this instance? (9 Replies)
Hi
is there a cmd in hpux 11 to determine the physical size of the hard disk.
not bdf command.
i have searched the other threads here but cant find an answer.
thank you guys (4 Replies)
Hello,
I'm trying to understand what is the practical usage of this command. In IBM website I've found that:
Reorganizes the physical partition allocation for a volume group.
In which situation should I use it? Could you give me some example.
Thanks,

Reading up on LVM allocation policy and I'm still unclear on one particular point: what qualifies as an "allocation request"? Are extents allocated when you create/resize logical volumes or by some other event? (1 Reply)
Hi Friends,
I have a host(Suse Linux 10.4) which has 2 luns presented from 2 different arrays HP eva and xp. we are planning to migrate hp eva to 3par. When i look for physical volume i see /dev/dm-4, /dev/dm-5, /dev/dm-7and when i look for multipath -ll i see dm-8,dm-9,dm-7. So i can't confirm... (6 Replies)

All,
We have a physical server (Lenovo 3950) that we need to upgrade the OS from RHEL 6 to RHEL 7. We do not want to do an in-place upgrade but rather start with a fresh OS install. The plan is to remove the two local drives (Raid 1) and install two new drives for the fresh RHEL 7 install. ... (4 Replies)
