lvlnboot

I did a lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol1 by mistake.
How do I remove lvol1 as a dump device?

Hi,

First verify the dump device with
lvlnboot -v
Then IF it shows lvol1 as dump then verify that lvol2 (usually swap) IS in fact defined as the swap device & run
lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2
Again verify that
lvlnboot -v
shows lvol2 as swap AND dump now.

The lvlnboot commands actaully affect the *next* boot - not your current settings.

Rgds,
Jeff

Use the lvrmboot command.

lvrmboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol1

Check if it changed the boot defenitions:

# lvlnboot -v

If changed, use this to remove lvol1 from dump volume:

# lvrmboot -v -d lvol1 /dev/vg00
# man lvrmboot (for details)
