LVM Published Material

Mike Hassell — Mon, 08 Apr 2002 16:56:23 GMT

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good LVM reading material that is up to date. I already have ???HP Certified: HP-UX System Administration??? and have read the chapters on LVM, which are rather light. I am looking for something a bit more advanced, or rather more in depth LVM concepts and such. I have also printed the PDF documents available from docs.hp.com on LVM and I???m wondering what else is out there for HP-UX LVM.

Do any of you LVM experts out there have any suggestions? Thanks.

-Mike

Although it's a little dated, Tom Madell's 'Disk & File Management Tasks on HP-UX' is quite good. It's available from Prentice-Hall. It's does a preety good job on LVM, filesystems, and mirroring and explains most of the underlying principles. Of course, the best advice I can give is to take the HP course, H6285, 'Hands-On with LVM and Mirror/UX'.

Marty Poniatowski's HP-UX 11 System Administration does a fairly good job dealing with LVM - should be available almost everywhere & probably could be had used at a good price.

Hi Mike:

Personally, I'm not afraid of those dry, old 'man pages' so one suggestion is to read them!

For a less dry overview, I think the sections relating to disk and file management here ("Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators") are quite good:

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90701/B2355-90701.html

You could also purchase "Disk and File Management Tasks on HP-UX":

hi,

You can check this white paper. Even though it is dated, it has useful info.
