autoswitch on lvdisplay

[Ross Gubler]

What is the autoswitch = on mean when I do a lvdisplay -v on a logical volume

Ross,

autoswitch is set with the pvchange command.
Here is the exerpt from the pvchange man page:
-S autoswitch Set the autoswitch operation for the physical volume pv_path. autoswitch can have one of the following values:

y Automatically switch back to the original primary path after a recovery from a failure. This is the default.

n Do not switch back. Stay on the current controller.

Best Wishes,
Cheryl
