Booting off splitted disk

abcd7 — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 22:17:18 GMT

Hi,

I have splitted my root mirror and splitted LVOL's exist with 'b' suffix, like lovl1b / 2b and so on. Do I need to update my '/etc/fstab' and run 'lvlnboot -s/r/d' to boot off this disk ?

If the '/etc/lvmtab' does not exist, do commands 'lvlnboot -v' and 'vgdisplay -vg00' work ?

Regards

Doug

Hi there,

Yes you will have to update the '/etc/fstab' with the modifed name of LV.and also you will have to run 'lvlnboot'

Without /etc/lvmtab, vgdisplay would not work,lvlnboot might.

But server can comeup even without lvmtab,in that case one VG00 will be acivated and avaliable(as the Vg00 config is still available in kernel desc.).others VG's you will not be able to find/access.

Yes. You need to update your boot config through setboot -a.

As per your other question, vgdisplay won't run but lvlnboot will run, since vgdisplay gets its info from /etc/lvmtab only.
