Go to www.docs.hp.com and the HP manual are there and you can do a search on LVM.

The man pages are helpful (man vgcreate,lvcreate, etc), but the HP-Admin course manuals provide a not-so-technical overview of LVM. Unfortunatly, I think you can only get those by taking the class. I guess you could check E-Bay though... :)

Depending a bit on your version of HP-UX, but this one might help:

Get a copy of "Disk & File Management Tasks on HP-UX" by Tom Madell.

Balaji,

The "Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators" document ( http://www.docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90742/B2355-90742_top.html&con=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90742/00/00/1-con.html&toc=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90742/00/00/1-toc.html&searchterms=Systems%7cWorkgroups%7cManaging&queryid=20030804-084914 ), has a good intro to LVM in the "Administering a System: Managing Disks and Files" section.

Hi:

The "Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators" manual has some very good information:

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90742/B2355-90742.html

Also, the Software Recovery Handbook (chapter-16, via the ITRC Knowledge Trees) has addtional, excellent insights, particularly when/if you have failures:
