Looking for LVM documentation

Daryl Rose — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:19:22 GMT

I'm in the process of setting up HDLM / Hitachi on HP-UX. The HDLM doc said that I have to use the command line tools. I'm not really strong on HP-UX and not really strong on LVM. I've been looking for some LVM documentation on HP's site, but so far I haven't been able to find any thing. Does anyone have a link that they could share with me?

Thanks

Daryl Rose

HP also offers a 3 day hands on course on LVM and a 4 day course on VXVM.

http://www.hp.com/education

Either method can be used to partition disks.

You work on your own HPUX system with 4 or so disks creating volumegroups and filesystems.

If the luns are properly presented to the HPUX system and you have device files

sam on hpux prior to 11.31 can be used to manage disks in a gui or the System Management homepage can be used to manage disks in a GUI tool.

If you want to configure VXVM it has a GUI called vea that you can use to create disk groups.
