How a bringing up to date makes of the LVM in a HP itself UX B. 11,0?

Good afternoons can help somebody check me the procedure to be able to update a HP's LVM UX B 11,0, that he is what I need to do, and the fact that time budget takes as well as the risks that this implies thanks as well as.

I do not understand your question. What do you mean "update a HP's LVM"? Do you mean to install the latest LVM patch? That is really the only update to LVM you can do.

Please give more details about what you want to do.

Shalom,

Updates to logical volume management are contained in bi-annual patch sets, the latest of which for 11.00 was May of 2004.

Download it, install it, it will want to reboot the box. The risk is minimal.

I agree with Patrick that you should elaborate a bit on the question.

Re: How a bringing up to date makes of the LVM in a HP itself UX B. 11,0?

Even though the question is not clear, we all guess what you need is updating LVM on HP-UX 11.00

i have recently patched my servers
PHCO_33244 1.0 LVM commands cumulative patch
PHKL_34694 1.0 LVM Cumulative Patch.

check this too
PHKL_27814 1.0 LVM Cumulative Patch w/Performance Upgrades
PHCO_27369 1.0 LVM commands (VA7410 HWE) cumulative patch.

keep to at least this levels.

Re: How a bringing up to date makes of the LVM in a HP itself UX B. 11,0?

Good nights.
Forgive my English is not good, but I will try explain better.
The question is:
How do I update LVM's version that I have in my server HP-UX version 11.0?
What do I need to do?
Of that link I can download it?
Which is the risk that I have?
pls i need help
I add a few information of the server, since the motive of the update is as that I have problems to the moment to create VG and FS.

Re: How a bringing up to date makes of the LVM in a HP itself UX B. 11,0?

Still not clear!

"tjderby / #vgcreate -s 1 /dev/vgprueba /dev/dsk/c5t9d0
vgcreate: Physical Volume "/dev/dsk/c5t9d0" contains no LVM information"

If you try to create a VG on a new and empty disk, you need to run "pvcreate" - this step was probably missing!


Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Again:

If you try to create a VG on a new and empty disk, you need to run "pvcreate" - this step was probably missing!

Example

pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c5t9d0

Hope this helps!

Re: How a bringing up to date makes of the LVM in a HP itself UX B. 11,0?

Run vgdisplay -v for this VG and you will get something like this:

Max PV 16
Cur PV 1
Max PE per PV 2500
PE Size (Mbytes) 4
Total PE 2168

Now calculate

Max PE per PV * PE Size = max disk size

At least in 11.00 you cannot change the values.

Consider to add more smaller LUNs until you reach the maximum of Max PV.

Hope this helps!

Torsten.
