Vgdisplay when volum is not activated

[Dany De Bontridder]

I have a system with service/guard, and LVM.

On the node where the volum group is not activated I would like to display his configuration.

How can I do this ?

Thanks in advance,

D.

Hi,

normally not, because the vg is not activated.
But you can activate it in read-only mode.

But why not using the other system to get this information?

verify if the VG this asset executes the command vgdisplay /dev/vgxxx to activate the VG in node executes vgchange - the y /dev/vgxxxx script this certainty?

you can activate in read only mode and then do vdisplay

vgchange -a r /dev/vgXX
vgdisplay -v /dev/vgXX
