lvlnboot -R

Hi ,

Does the command lvlnboot -R require a reboot of the sysem?

[Suraj K Sankari]

Hi Bharani,

lvlnboot -R is for recover any missing links to all of the logical volumes specified in the Boot Data Reserved Area and update the Boot Data Reserved Area of each bootable physical volume in the volume group

After update the boot date reserve area you can reboot the box for checking purpose its working or not.
otherwise it is not required to reboot.

No "lvlnboot -R" does not require any reboot. It just update the BDRA. But most of the time we use this command at the time of disk mirroring.We test reboot to test mirroring and alternate boot disk. As such it doesnt require any reboot
