pvcreate question

[Fern H2O]

Hello everyone,

Is there any way to know if a Disk was pvcreated using the -B option ???

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

Hi,

lvlnboot -v

will show the disk if it was created with pvcreate -B.

You can also check the disk with lifls.

Hello,

ex :
# lifls /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0

A bootable disk reports something like:

ISL AUTO HPUX PAD LABEL

While a non bootable disk reports:

lifls: Can't list /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0; not a LIF volume

To show the content of the bootentries:

# lifcp : -

For example:

# lifcp /dev/dsk/c0t6d0:AUTO -
hpux

For further information on LIF, refer to lif(4).

Hope this helps,

Rgds,

Thanks Marco and Tursten!
