Re: VG not getting activated

This system seems to be part of a Service Guard cluster.

Use: vgchange -a e /dev/vgdb2dump 

If you need to remove this disk from the cluster, vgchange -c n /dev/vgdb2dump
then use vgchange -a y /dev/vgdb2dump

Re: VG not getting activated

You said that the VG was activated. What hapens when you use the mount command for the LVOLs?

Re: VG not getting activated

I'm confused. What happened when you used the mount command?
The vgdisplay for vg02 seems to be fine, which means that the VG has been activated.

Based on the vgdisplay you posted, the physical extents used are 3,353 and each extent is 256 MB.
So for this listing, the VG is 858,368 MB.

Re: VG not getting activated

For vg case cluster was down that's why i am not able to check it.

Thanks for helping me in space calculation.

Can you please help me to  find out the how much space is utilized .

Re: VG not getting activated

The space allocated to lvols is founnd in the vgdisplay output:

 

VG Name /dev/vg02 
VG Write Access read/write 
VG Status available 
Max LV 255 
Cur LV 6 
Open LV 12 
Max PV 16 
Cur PV 1 
Act PV 1 
Max PE per PV 3353 
VGDA 2 PE 
Size (Mbytes) 256 
Total PE 3353 
Alloc PE 3348 
Free PE 5 
Total PVG 0 
Total Spare PVs 0 
Total Spare PVs in use 0 
VG Version 1.0 
VG Max Size 13412g 
VG Max Extents 53648

 

This VG has 3,353 extents with 3,348 allocated to LVOLs.
3,348*256=857,088 MB

If you are asking how much space is utilized by each LV, use these commands:

 

# mount -a
# bdf
