LVM tools: Xvg

Thomas Schell — Fri, 28 Jul 2000 20:30:36 GMT

Hi all,

we're using a tool from HP called Xvg to visualize the configuration of our LVM configuration. Now we changed to HP-UX 11.0 and the tool displays wrong structures. Is there an update for Xvg available? Or is there a tool which can replace it?

Rgds to all out there...

Not familar with Xvg but if you have perl (perl 5 and above) here is a script I use quite a bit.

I have no 11.00 system available for testing, but version 3.10 says that it is 11.00 compatible.

The current version of Xvg is located at:

ftp://contrib:9unsupp8@hprc.external.hp.com/sysadmin/xvg

The above is a browser URL, but you can also use ftp to reach this site. The IP address in 192.170.19.51 and the login is: contrib, password is 9unsupp8. This site has no anonymous ftp capability. You'll also find lots of other contributed tools in the upper directories.

The version at this site works on 9.x through 11.x with no problems. I have tested Xvg on virtually every server and workstation models HP has manufactired in the last 10 years. I recently rtan Xvg on an N-class machine with dozens of physical volumes, several were 250 Gbytes in size. You'll need an Xwindow device such as an HP-UX workstation, Xterminal or a PC running an X11 emulator such as WRQ's Reflection/X or Hummingbird Exceed.

One additional note: the author of Xvg has just updated Xvg and made a few changes. The README file gives the revision history.

An HP colleague in France placed the newest Xvg release also to
ftp://hpfrcu03.france.hp.com/pub/paulo.tar.gz
with the comment, to copy it down on demand. But here is the copy as well.

Thanks to all who contributed to the solution of the problem.
