How can I find out all active volume groups at my system

Mirko Schmidt — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 09:27:22 GMT

Hi @ All,

How can I find out all active volume groups at my system. I need the output for checkup script (like: vgxy1, vgxy2, vgxy3,....)

Thanks
Mirko

Hi Mirko:

# vgdisplay

...without any arguments.

Regards!

Hi,

I know this command, but the output is not usable for me, I need only the name of the volume group, vgdisplay is too much output.

Bye

Hi,

I think following command could be useful

vgdisplay 2>/dev/null | more | grep "VG Name"

rgds.

Hi (again) Mirko:

OK, if you only want the vgname:

# vgdisplay |awk '/VG Name/ {print $3}'

Regards!

or something similar:

vgdisplay 2>/dev/null | grep "VG Name" | awk -F"/" '{print $3}'

good luck!

or something very similar:

vgdisplay 2>/dev/null | awk -F"/" '/VG Name/ {print $3}'

you should obtain only VG names without '/dev' prefix

Or a combo of James and Yarek's:

vgdisplay 2>/dev/null | awk -F"/" '/VG Name/ {print $3}'
