What kernel parameter controls the number of Volume Groups you can have? I believe the default is not that high, I want it set to a high value like 100.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Increase number of Volume Groups?
The kernel parameter is 'maxvgs' and it counts zero-relative.
In 11.31 you don't need to set it. It's deprecated and acts as if it were already set to 255.

Re: Increase number of Volume Groups?
If you want to limit yourself to 100, that is of course possible. The default appears to be 255.
I pity you if you get even close to that amount of volume groups.

Re: Increase number of Volume Groups?
1) What kernel parameter controls the number of Volume Groups you can have?
==>maxvgs
2)I believe the default is not that high??
==>The default value is 10 in Version 1.0 and the max value is 256,
In 11.31 this kernel parameter is removed.
3)I want it set to a high value like 100.??
==>
#kctune maxvgs=100

Re: Increase number of Volume Groups?
In 11.31 you are able to create version 2 layout volume groups. You can create version 1 and version 2 volume groups at the same time, so the theoretical maximum of volume groups is 2048 (version 2) +256 (version 1)=2304.
I don't know what application (or what company convention) requires that much volume groups, but if you need that much, you should consider upgrading to 11.31.
My 2 cents,
Armin
