disabling auto activation on single VG

[gany59]

For disabling the auto VG activation, we have to put 0 in /etc/lvmrc file. So that will disable all the VG's. I need to disable the auto activation on only one VG. Is there any option on that. Please let me know on the same. Thanks!

your understanding is correct.

set VG auto activation=0

under "custom_vg_activation"

add all vgname which you want to activate except the (one VG)which you do not want to activate

/sbin/vgchange -a y /dev/vgxx

Thanks Johnson,

So modifiying the /etc/lvmrc file is enough right ? with the vgname

[Johnson Punniyalingam]

yes

Hi gany,

You want_to_disable auto activation on a particular VG right? So that particular VG should not_be_present in custom_activation_vg on /etc/lvmrc.

The exact parameter you are looking for is AUTO_VG_ACTIVATE which in this procedure should be put to non default settings as 0.
