whow to create boot partition with LVM

One of the key elements here is that the "pvcreate" must be done with the -B option.

If its not then you don't have space allocated for your boot elements.

Hi,

Following may be helpful to you.

#pvcreate -B PV_NAME
#mkboot PV_NAME

Your first task is a pvcreate -B /dev/rdsk/xxxxxxx --- the -B cxreates the reserved areas for boot. You then issue a mkboot /dev/rdsk/xxxxxx command on this same disk and then a
mkboot -a "hpux (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/rdsk/xxxxx

You have to create a VG and then add the LVOLS. lvol1 must be /stand, lvol2 must be primary swap and lvol3 must be / and all of these must be contiguously allocated LVOL's.
