Specifying PE size when restoring vg00 on larger disk w/ IUX vA.3.6.82

[John Knapp]

I am planning to restore my vg00 from two non-mirrored 4.1GB drives to a single 11.6 drive to facilitate a disk array migration. If I specify a make_tape_recovery restore interactively, can I specify a PE size of 16MBs and where in the menus?

Hi John,
Yes, you can definately specify the PE size.
While recovering the system.
you can go to file system settings -> go to advanced group parameter screen where you can specify following parameters :

Group Name -- Use to rename existing volume groups.


Max Vols -- Maximum number of logical volumes.


Total Size -- Total size of all volumes.


Max Phys Vols -- Maximum number of volumes.


Max Phys Exts -- Maximum physical extents.


Physical Ext Size -- Physical extent size in Megabytes.

You will find the last parameter is PE size.
Just change it to your desired value and you are all set.

Let me know if you have any questions.
