PE's on a dead PV

Tim Rotunda — Wed, 22 Jan 2003 15:04:51 GMT

I had a PV go out in a VG with 6 PV's. Is there anyway to see what PE's were on that PV?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/ may work.

If not then try lvdisplay -v /dev/vg??/lvol? for all the LV's in the VG.

Regards,
John

Hi Tim:

# vgreduce -f

...will expose the missing extents. From the man pages for 'vgreduce':

"PVs which are missing will be candidates for removal. If all the physical extents on the missing PV are free then it will be removed from the volume group. Otherwise vgreduce will report the physical to logical extent mapping."

Regards!
