Can we get SAM LVM reports from the command line?

Babak — Fri, 19 Oct 2001 22:50:57 GMT

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is anyway to get any of SAM's LVM reports from the command line? (I am specifically interested in the disk devices report).
All hints and helps are greatly appreciated!

thanks,
B.

Hi Babak:

A gratuitous LVM configuration report is generated every time you do an Ignite 'make_tape_recovery' (Ignite 3.2 or later). The file is:

/var/opt/ignite/recovery/latest/manifest

You can use the print_manifest command to generate similar kind of information.

#/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest > /tmp/manifest

Edit this file and search for "Disk Layout"

There is no explicit command used by SAM to generate the report you want. Some of the commands are in /usr/sam/lbin directory. But I don't think they will be of good help to you.

You need to write a script using text parsing if you want similar report using a combination of LV commands.

print_manifest should give you pretty decent output though.

There is also a supported "sysinfo" script provided by HP. You can search for this string in this forum.

Hi
This script should provide what you require.

Hi,

If print_manifest doesn't suffice your needs, there are some scripts which are available.

1. LVMcollect
(Paula has already attached the script )

2. VGcollect which is part of Xvg
ftp://contrib:9unsupp8@hprc.external.hp.com/sysadmin/xvg/

3. Ofcourse there are some commands in /usr/sam/lbin , but if none of the above works ffor your environment, you could modify or write a script from scratch using some of commands like (ioscan, vgdisplay, lvdisplay, pvdisplay etc..)

If you are looking for system documentation scripts, there are plenty of them

1. cfg2html

2. sysinfo

3. nickel

-HTH

Hi (again) Babak,

You can find an attachment of sysinfo script in the following thread. Curtesy of Deshpande Prashant.

I am sure you will enjoy it as it gives html output also if you want.

Have fun,
