And now LVM @ 11.31

[Grayh]

Hi All,

Till now i was surviving as u gurus have helped me out with most of the activities in here..Learning more & more over here...

Now..

Blade servers are setup in the lab
H/w installed on them
Powered on
Happily Running 11.31
Installed most of the Applications that came with 11.31..

And now the last One before I set the server into production is to LVM it.After which I would be pretty comfortable and would go with life...

Right now I have vg00 & vg01...The Oracle guys are going to install Oracle on this and work on it...So wondering what else could I add to there VG's...viz..ora,oracle..etc..

Say what?!?!? What do you mean "LVM it?" It is already LVM'ed. Your VG's are setup. It appears your VG00 LVOLs are set up.

>>The Oracle guys are going to install Oracle on this and work on it...

That's nice.

>>So wondering what else could I add to there VG's...viz..ora,oracle..etc..

They should tell you what they need. They should be able to tell you the mount points needed and the sizes.

Well Thank you Patrick.. I was under the impression to create some default lv's which are normally used by the oracle's.....

And if needed may be I can do a lvextend or a vgextend as and when required...

Before i hand over the server to them Just wanted to make sure that it has been configured correctly from the Sys. Admin perspective...

[Patrick Wallek]

Yes, you should create the LV's for them to use. However, you need to get the sizes and names that they, being "the Oracle guys", expect the filesystems to be.

You could create LV's and mount them till the cows come home, but if they are not what is needed you will just have to blow them away and recreate.

Communication with your end users is important.

Now, go ask them what they need!

Did you consider what version to use?

LVM 1.0, LVM 2.0 or LVM 2.1?
