Create raw lv

Pettersson Andreas — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 05:52:51 GMT

Hi,

I have a Oracle server that uses LVM and raw devices. I have presented the server with a new disk and want to bring it into LVM, extend a vg, create a lv and let Oracle use it as a raw device.

Is this all I need to do?
# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ
# vgextend /dev/vgXX /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ
# lvcreate -L -n /dev/vgXX
# chown : /dev/vgXX/r
# ln -s /dev/vgXX/r /.raw

Looks good to me - that should do it.

yes correct. But you must check your permission and owner between your link files with your raw device.
