Hi there,
How can I check all available vg,volume sizes,total and free disk space of n-class server attached to emc storage without root user?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

you can see the free space of all configured EMC LUNs in your volume groups by:

# vgdisplay

have a look at this line for each volume group:

Free PE

Hope that helps.

Hi,

sorry ;-( You can configure a restricted SAM (sam -r) so that a other user can see the avaliable free space of you volume groups (see man page).

Any user can use bdf, vgdisplay and lvdisplay.

If you like your figures in Megabytes, I'm attaching a script called mbdf

It uses bdf but provides figures in Meg instead if kb.

All you need to do is save it in a common directory on the user path and give it execute permissions.

It is tested, but I always recommend carefully examining shell scripts prior to using them.

Hi Nagaraj,

vgdisplay -v > /tmp/vgdata.out

and

lvdisplay -v /dev/vg_name/lv_name > /tmp/lv_name.out

for every LV should give you everything you want.

These can be run by normal users.

HTH,
Jeff

Hi Nag,

You can do.

VGs - /usr/sbin/vgdisplay -v
LVs and their sizes - /usr/sbin/lvdisplay -v lv_name
Disks - /usr/sbin/ioscan -fnkC disk
Used and free space - bdf

All the above can you done as a normal user. Look at the man pages of each of the above commands. You may need to do a combination of the above commands to get what you need.
