lvlnboot

[Kevin Wright]

when I do lvlnboot -v all the alternate links for all VG's show up...
Current path "/dev/dsk/c1t0d0" is an alternate link, skip.
Current path "/dev/dsk/c9t1d0" is an alternate link, skip.
Current path "/dev/dsk/c0t0d0" is an alternate link, skip.
when I do lvlnboot -R..it scans ALL volume groups and saves in /etc/lvmconf/VgXX
I thought it just scans VG00?? is this normal?

Hi
Yes, that normal behaviour in the later revisions of hpux. If you only want to do vg00 then specify that on the command line:
lvlnboot -R /dev/vg00

If you do not want to automatically do the vgcfgbackup (very rare) then turn that flag off: lvlnboot -R -A n

Check the man on lvlnboot

yes, I just saw that in the man page..unless the Vg is specified, it looks at all of them.
I just made my swap space also dump space with lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/swap and wanted to check it, but I just used lvlnboot -v
thank you.

You're quite welcome. And thanks for the points, not everyone assigns them.
