Location of mounts

[Dave Hartman]

I'm a newbie to HP-UX.

I wanted to know how to determine on which physical drive each logical volume is on.
I've used SAM and it only tells me the size of the partitions but not where they reside.

I'm using HP-UX 10.20

Thanks in advance.

lvdisplay -v /dev/vgxx/lvolx|more will display the location of the logical volume. The column to pay most attention to is P.E.

You should also be able to type "/usr/bin/strings /etc/lvmtab".
This will report which volume groups are associated with which physical disk.
May be a little quicker than trying to find all of the /dev/vgXXXXX/lvolXXX's, then lvdisplay each logical volume.

You can also type /usr/bin/strings /etc/lvmtab. This will report which physical disks are attached to a physical volume. Of course this only works if you have a single disk per volume group. (That is the most common config)

Hi,

i have written a little script, i called it vgd , that collects all log. volume information.
Look for the attachment.

Dave,
You can get this information in sam. Under logical volumes, select one and the got to Actions/View More Information. It tells you the hardware path of the disk. Or you can go to Disks, select a disk and under Actions/View More Information, will tell you what logical volumes are on that disk.
Either way it is a little tedious. The information is there though.
Also, the script Andreas posted give a lot of information.
