Create raw lv

[Pettersson Andreas]

Hi,

I have a Oracle server that uses LVM and raw devices. I have presented the server with a new disk and want to bring it into LVM, extend a vg, create a lv and let Oracle use it as a raw device.

Is this all I need to do?
# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ
# vgextend /dev/vgXX /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ
# lvcreate -L -n /dev/vgXX
# chown : /dev/vgXX/r
# ln -s /dev/vgXX/r /.raw

Looks good to me - that should do it.

Andreas,

With this procedure it will work fine

yes correct. But you must check your permission and owner between your link files with your raw device.

Like you said, it worked just fine. Thanks a lot!
