Re: HPUX 11.0 : LVM Stripping Question
lvcreate -i 4 -I 64 -r N
-or-
lvcreate -D y -s g -r N
With the latter you stripe and mirror.
Use PVG's with both. Reason? I once had a 24 disk file system that ran out of space and needed another 24 disks before I could expand. We made the equivalent of a lun on a disk array.
HP recommends the PVG size at 4 disks. That way you can add PVG2 to PVG1, and then PVG3, etc., like bricks in a pyramid.
-I option, or stripe size has been recommended at 1 mb by EMC and 32 kb or 64 kb by HP XP. So investigate.

Re: HPUX 11.0 : LVM Stripping Question
M. Frederick Steele: HP does not support both mirroring and striping with LVM, only with VVM (Veritas volume manager, on HP-UX 11i only). So, even though it works, I wouldn't recommend it, since HP will shrug if there's a problem and say "well, we told you there might be issues with that..." I'd prefer to stay in a supportable mode, just in case.
Otherwise, this one has been nailed up good, I can't think of anything to add.

Re: HPUX 11.0 : LVM Stripping Question
FYI, HP DOES support striping and mirroring with EXTENT-BASED stripes. See the '-D' option in the lvcreate man page.
