scripting help!!

I need to know all the lvm layout in a server. Iam executing lvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

and I need the output to stop after it reads out the PV name. I dont need the logical extent layout..

In other words I need only the first 20-25 lines of the output....How do I use the cut command with the lvdisplay command and bring the output on the screen...

How about piping the output to head?

Well, you don't use cut. You could use sed, awk, perl, but proably the easist thing to do is use head.

I assume you probably meant pvdisplay.

pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c1t5d0 | head -n 20

Hi:

I think you want something like:

lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol1 |awk '/volumes/,/extents/'

ANother question for James..If I need to run this for multiple file system and pipe the same to a single file..how do i do this??

All the outputs should be copied to a single file...

Hi

lvdisplay -v name 2>&1|grep -v current


if it is not current it may be interesting.

I put all commands in a file with sleep in between and redirect the output to a file..and it worked....

Thanks again guys...
