11i lvcreate

I've just upgraded a server from 11.00 to 11i. Now I recognized that the option -m for the command lvcreate doesn't work anymore. In the man pages it's mentioned but not if you just enter the command. Is this a bug? Or do I miss a patch (I installed the Dec. 02 Base package).
Thanks for your help.

Re: 11i lvcreate

-m is for mirror copies - when you upgraded to 11i, did you get codewords for MirrorDiskUX 11i?

What does a swlist tell you?

Re: 11i lvcreate

sounds like you did not upgrade your MirrorDisk/UX
during hte upgrade.
check with swlist, and if necessary install hte software.

Re: 11i lvcreate

Hi Peter,

Since I normally do an initial lvcreate & then come back with an lvextend -m 1, I haven't run across this yet.
Are you specifying TWO separate PVs that are *already* in the VG when you issue the lvcreate command?
What message - if any - do you get?
Does vgdisplay -v show *both* PVs?
Does lvdisplay show mirror copies=1 ?
As far as I know -m in lvcreate should still work if the command is constructed correctly.

Rgds,
Jeff

Thanks for your quick help.
Indeed the mirroring software was missed during the upgrade!

You'll need to get that reinstalled. Some others that I've noticed that don't "come across" in the upgrade are MC/SG - glance - Online JFS. These items will need to be re-installed. HTH. .
