LVM Version . . .

[piyush mathiya]

Dear Gurus,

How can I check the version of LVM on my HP 9000 server which is working on B.11.11 OS Version.
How can I update the LVM Version on my this testing server, I want to update Version 3.

Thanks & Regards,
Piyush Mathiya

Hi:

If you truly mean the LVM version, you can't. LVM has a version designation of Version-1 up until the March 2008 release of 11.31 (11iv3), at which time Version-2 is released:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5992-3385/ch01s04.html?btnNext=next%A0%BB

If you mean that you want to upgrade your overall operating system from 11.11 (11iv1) to 11.31 (11iv3) then see:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5992-3364/index.html

Make sure that you hardware is supported and that you plan a cold-install. You cannot upgrade directly from 11.11 to 11.31. Read the above document in total.

Regards!

Hi Piyush

>>How can I check the version of LVM on my HP 9000 server which is working on B.11.11 OS Version

run this command
#swlist -l product|grep LVM

>>How can I update the LVM Version on my this testing server, I want to update Version 3.

what is that mean? do you want to update LVM version 3 or LVM version which is used in 11iv3 OS?

Dear Piyush

see my first server where os version is 11.11 and lvm version is the same
in my second server where i am using version 11.23 my lvm version is also same here. which means lvm version is the version of the os plus relevant patches

u can compare my two servers

hp_data1#swlist -l product | grep -i lvm
LVM B.11.11 LVM
PHCO_27408 1.0 LVM commands cumulative patch, VA7410 HWE

PHKL_30605 1.0 VxVM,EMC,PM,vPar,slpq1,KRS,CDUMP,LVM,VM,D
aS
PHKL_30622 1.0 LVM Cumulative Patch; 16 node SLVM cluste
r
data1#uname -a
HP-UX data1 B.11.11

see in anohter server where i am using version 11.23 and u can see the lvm version is same as os version


society1# uname -a
HP-UX society1 B.11.23

ociety1# swlist -l product | grep -i lvm
LVM B.11.23 LVM

I would say you are reading too much into it. The version that has "LVM B.11.11", just says this is the version for 11.11.

This doesn't seem to match with the versions JRF is talking about.
