Question on Swap/Dump device

[Jorge Fabregas]

Hello everyone,

I had problems with a disk on a server and I had to rellocate the swap device to a new lvol. Now everything is working fine and recrated swap back on lvol2 (just as it was before). However, when I go to SAM/Disks and Filesystems/Logical Volumes
I see - under the USE column- that is says just: Swap.

If I go to my other servers I'll see - under this same column-: Swap/Dump.

What am I missing on the first server? If I go to Kernel Configuration/Dump Device I see perfectly fine /dev/vg00/lvol2.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
Jorge

You probably have to run lvlnboot -d to specify it as a dump device.

It will take a reboot to make the change effective

man lvlnboot

Jorge,

Also for more information refer to this guide, managing swap and dump:

Shalom Jorge,

I think things will be fine after a reboot. If not, you will want to reconfigure the lovl2 as swap and dump.

Run

lvlnboot -v

to show your current config.
If there is no dump device configured, you need to run

lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2

Many thanks to all who responded. You are all wonderful right. Now my swap/dump is configured correctly. I had to lvnlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2.
