logical volume, file system, volume group

[Jeff Hagstrom]

Is there any documents out there the describe these pieces of the file systems? How they work together and how to setup them up in Sam or from the prompt? I am working on HPUX 11.00 on a 9000/460

Hi,

Go to docs.hp.com and search by LMV or by any other specific key.

Try....

#more /usr/share/doc/file_sys.txt

Hi,

Hope I did not scare you ? :)

Sam is great, but sam has his limits, you can use the search button to view a lot of docs, manuals and threads made by this forum.

Kind regards,

Robert-Jan.

Ps. you can always open a new thread in this forum.

"man lvm" will list all the available lvm commands. Also do a man on all the individual commands of lvm.

[Jeff Hagstrom]

Thanks, but I was looking for more of a how to and what this all means. This link that Robert listed errors out. And to search for LVM there are hundreds of pages. I was hoping to narrow done the list. Thanks anyway.

Jeff,

Basically (very basic):

A volume group consists of one or more physical disks and contains one or more logical volumes which can contain a file system or swap space or raw disk space.

That's the nickel tour.

man pages and white papers are really technical references and not designed to teach concepts. Get a copy of Tom Madell's book "Disk and File Management Tasks on HP-UX"

LVM is a simple but powerful disk management tool.

Try out this link for concepts on LVM
http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000064209281

Hi,

A brief about LVM

[Oliver Zell_1]

Hi,

if you have a support contract with HP you can download a very very good LVM chapter from following page:

http://www4.itrc.hp.com/service/iv/node.do?node=prod%2FWW_Start%2FN1%7C16
---> Chapter 16 - Logical Volume Manager (LVM)

Best regards,
Armin

May be Linux LVM-HOWTO will be helpful for you. Linux LVM is a bit different than HPUX, but common concepts are the same. See it at
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/LVM-HOWTO.html

One more LVM white papper. =)

The best way to study LVM is to get somewhere HP Student Workbook "Hands-on with Logical Volume Manager and MirrorDisk/UX", course H6285S. I wonder are where such things somewhere in Inet ? =)
